About
Epic & Opus - Paired Visions of Time: Cosmos • Bios • MythosThis edition pairs the mythic trilogy Cosmos, Bios & Mythos: The Saga of Beyond & a New World with the research work The Unfolding of Time: A Logarithmic Model for Astronomical, Biological, and Cultural Evolution.In the epic, Zoe and Tod step into a tunnel of light and journey through deep time-from cosmic birth to the rise of life and, finally, into the human story-guided by love, tested by mythic forces, and invited to reimagine their place in a living universe. The opus offers the counterpoint: a clear, interdisciplinary model showing how major thresholds-galaxies, rocky planets, life, and symbolic culture-emerge in rhythmic "pulses" when viewed on a logarithmic timescale.Presented wholecloth and in dialogue, story and study can be read in either order. Together they invite readers to feel and think time at once: a narrative odyssey matched with a framework that reveals the universe's layered rhythm of transformation. In Epic & Opus -- Paired Visions of Time, the author pairs a research-informed epic narrative with scholarly synthesis to explore the deep-time evolution of the astronomical universe, biological organisms and the symbolic behavior of humans. Through three literary volumes and a complementary scientific framework, he traces the journey of a couple in their afterlife-offering an imaginative and evidence-based journey through the unfolding of time.
