Mankind just witnessed the mass-extinction of an entire species. An environmental upheaval took place, and only those individuals who could still function in the new paradigm have survived. In short, digital TVs won over the analog ones.
About 150 years ago, a scientist named Charles Darwin published his landmark book, "Origin of the Species." Darwinian theories propose that — on a mind-stretching, vast scale across time — the same kind of thing that happened to old TVs has happened with life on Earth, one more-advantaged order of animal or plant overtaking others, in a process of evolution by natural selection.
This year, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth, the Great Lakes Science Center in downtown Cleveland presents "Darwin," an in-depth exhibition about scientist-naturalist Charles Darwin (1802-1882) and his ground-breaking, still-debated theory of evolution by natural selection.
A collaboration of several world-class museum, including the Field Museum of Chicago and the American Museum of Natural History, it opens at the GLSC on June 27 and runs through September 19.
The exhibit comes not long after a similar touring display about Albert Einstein spent several months at the GLSC explaining in detail everything about general relativity and time-travel to Einstein's marriage and political activities.
