About

The Unfolding of Time: A Logarithmic Model for Astronomical, Biological, and Cultural Evolution presents a unifying framework for understanding complexity across cosmic, biological, and cultural domains. Rather than treating the history of the universe as a linear sequence of disconnected events, this work proposes that major evolutionary thresholds-from the formation of galaxies and rocky planets to the emergence of life and symbolic culture-follow a rhythmic pattern when plotted on a logarithmic timescale. Drawing on current astronomical research, evolutionary biology, and anthropological insight, the model suggests that complexity emerges in distinct pulses, each nested within a broader unfolding. This interdisciplinary synthesis invites a rethinking of time's structure-not as a flat continuum, but as a layered rhythm of transformation. The result is a compelling vision of the universe's evolution, in which deep regularities shape the appearance of novelty across scales. The author holds degrees in Philosophy and Counseling Psychology and has an interest in Interdisciplinary studies. During his life he helped found a charter school which used arts integration and emphasized the sciences. He also worked in the area of mental health and advocated for patient rights. Last, he visited several times a remote village in Guatemala on a Sister Parish Project. His varied experiences have become the basis for an earlier work, A Couple Through Time, which followed the life of a Zoe and Tod on earth. In this work, the couple's life enters the realm of epic, incorporating the first fantasy and a beyond of cosmic dimension. These two collated volumes, Cosmos & Bios, draw upon the author's scientific work: the Logarithmic Unfolding of Astronomical Time, and Ten Pulses of Evolution & the Surprising Nature of Evolutionary Time. You are now invited to experience the cosmic and life history of a personal universe.
