You forgot to comment on Marsha's humor. I describe a process that took
hundreds of millions of years. Not even humanity would stand a chance to
notice it, much less one human. Then Marsha points out that we have to
avoid prejudice towards a common human timeframe.
Hilarious, IMO.

Greetings Adrian and Magnus,
I'd also like to mention something that I heard from Dennett or Dawkins about
having a prejudice towards change in a timeframe that is readily
experienced by humans. Change may happen at speeds too fast for humans
to experience, or too slow for humans to experience. What might seem
as not changing may just be a case of change too slow for us too experience.
Just something to consider.

@ Hello Marsha.
This is interesting. We have evolved to notice only a narrow range of change.
I watched a programme which used high speed cameras to show changes we would
not usually see.
It showed there can be tiny eels which live in vinegar.
It looks like you get more fish than you bargained for on your fish and chips.
Thanks
Ade
