Schoolhouse Rocks

Schools starting up again soon. I'm brushing off my spanish, reading up on my notes from last year, and thinking about getting a new backpack (I've had the same one wince I was a junior in highschool).
I really like to learn stuff (except for math*ugh*).
Have any of you 'all ever heard of something called the Bowen Reaction Series? It's this really fascinating scientific law that states that at different temperatures different minerals and compounds seperate out from magma. I find it's amazing that not so little rules like this control every aspect of Earth's natural processes. There's a rule or a law for everything, the way the wind blows, the salinity of the ocean, everything is controlled and guided with precision and purpose. Who really knows what that purpose is though...... History is really the same sorta thing. Everything works together, everything affects the other, everything is in some way connected. The good 'ole cliche "no man is an island" serves it's purpose well. Uncountable actions have taken place to bring us to where we are today. The sheer scope of it is difficult to grasp, understanding is simply impossible. For some reason this makes me happy, what fun would the world be if we understood everything?
