Azoic...

Till now Azioc meant just a music group but it is not just that. Azoic is also the name of first era of our planet Earth.

Era, Period, Epoch
Earth is 4.5 billion years old and this time has been divided in to one or more Era. And each one of these Era is further divided in to Periods. And each period is in turn divided in to Epoch.

Azoic is the first Era, from 4.5 to 4.0 billions years

Archean is the second Era, from 4.0 to 2.5 billions years

Proterozoic is the third Era, from 2.5 to 0.5 billions years

Paleozoic is the fourth Era, from 0.5bill to 250million years

Mesozoic is the fifth Era, from 250 to 65 million years

Cenozoic is the sixth Era, from 65 million years to till today.

Two consecutive Eras differ fundamentally. And there are totally six Era.

Deciphering lyrics

I have read same lyric being deciphered in many ways. More than one version made sense too.

Treat the song as a jumbled heap of thread, and start tracing from different points(not just ends), and write down the path on a paper. In the end, each path would have some interesting shape and also be different from each other.

Shapes obtained above depended on where you started tracing, similarly song's meaning depends on where one starts( or presumptions one makes like death, love, god, depression, drugs, addiction etc.....)

Wolfsheim - Blind

I have been listening to this since few years and today understood few verses. Best part is highlighed.



I think of you like... I often do
When I hear the rain on my windowpane
Gently tapping at the glass
Like your gently touching fingers
Just looking for the smile I give to you

Chorus...
You can feel what no one feels
You can hear what no one hears
Just looking for the smile I give to you
You can feel what no one feels
You can hear what no one wants to hear
Just looking for the smile I give to you

Your darkness speaks and has eyes to see
and you know me by my voice
But you know so much more than
"Don't fight the walls they're here for all"
Is what you said to me once
I looked into your eyes and I knew you were right

Chorus....

And your darkness speaks and has eyes to see
I know you can win this life long game we're in
Hey darkness is a state of mind
I can go where you would stumble

Is what you said to me and I knew you were right




Diamond was first mined in India

The earliest diamonds were mined from stream gravels in the southern and central portions of India. An estimated 12 million carats (the carat is a unit of weight for gemstones equal to 0.2 gram) was produced from Indian mines. India was virtually the only source of diamonds until they were discovered in Brazil in 1725. East central Brazil has produced about 160,000 carats annually, chiefly from stream gravels near the city of Diamantina, Minas Gerais.

Today, about 95 percent of the world’s output of diamonds is from Africa.The Congo is by far the largest producer, supplying more than 50 percent of the global demand.

Gaia hypothesis and Humans

Gaia

It is said that physical environment on Earth drives organisms. But Gaia hypothesis says influence can flow in the other way, that is life can also influence environment.

Climate change, to some extent works like Gaia, but in s negative way. We are hell bent on shooting on our foot. Unfortunately humans and animals are too sophisticated to survive Geological catastrophe....
