One of the faults in philosophy generally―even the philosophy of science―is ignoring the extended scale of the natural continuum and putting in its place something Anthropomorphic. This book suggests a means of keeping score that puts common situations, places, topography, and even home ground in the context of that continuum, the whole of atomic matter and its history. As shown here, the discrepancy between normal measurements and what actually exists is similar to that between ’yardsticks’ and ’light years’
