Unsinkable Hugh Williams
Did you know that over a period og 200 years, 3 ships perished at the same location on the coast of Wales, on the same day (December the 5th), and all 3 had only one survivor. The 3 survivors all had the same name: Hugh Williams.

The Aging Process in 5 Minutes
The aging process in front of your eyes, 70 years in just 5 minutes. You can not see it, like in real life, but you can feel it.

The Fear of Time
Try to imagine a life without timekeeping...
You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie.
Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are never late, a dog does not check its watch, cats don't fret over passing birthdays.
Just man measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.

The glorious Part about Science
Suppose that every memory, written word, and piece of technology on earth was destroyed all at once, leaving humanity to start completely from scratch.
Everything we have come to know about science would eventually be discovered again. Given a few thousand years, people would figure out chemistry, and rediscover all of the same elements we know now. People would once again understand biology, and its evolutionary origins. People would eventually see the motions of galaxies in the sky, and work out the details of the universe and the big bang. This is the glorious part about science, it can and would all be replicated. I can assure you, however, that the story about that talking snake would be gone forever.
