    • Kosmos in G

      Since ancient times, humans have looked into the night sky and learned speculative thought through the stars. The relationship between stars and flowers was explored in their cosmologies and by their artists. From the point of view of modern science, the cosmos and its non-lving mineral matter has an integral relationship to flowers, plants and all living things. Without very specific mineral constellations on a planet, no life is possible.This animation was made with Flash.
