As a matter of fact, from 18th- 20th c., Britain has established
many colonies all over the planet, creating thus the biggest
colonial empire ever (colored red on the map)CSR/Climate actions © Metis Accredited Observer to the UNFCCC
planet Earth : unique, particular & unrepeatable
CSR/Climate actions © Metis Accredited Observer to the UNFCCC
British Empire accomplished thus a major goal - among others:
• Britain has had a land area of only 245.000 km2. A big percentage of the population spread in an area of 510.000.000 km2, which is planet’s whole surface, has found an outlet to
solve all kinds of severe socio-economic problems
• Economic growth has also helped the creation of the
‘welfare state’
planet Earth : unique, particular & unrepeatable
Britain has been able to accomplish that pioneering task because:
1. The size of the territory about to be conquered was already known. A WORLD MAP has been designed long ago.
2. Positive or negative circumstances about to be confronted were, more or less, familiar.
3. Transportation means (vessels) and defense equipment (weapons etc) for, more or less, known dangers have been invented long ago.
4. Big percentage of the population agreed with that expansion because its interests matched colonialism interests - more or less...

Humanity, unlike Britain, cannot accomplish Universe colonization … just because:

2. Positive or negative circumstances to be confronted are unknown to the biggest percentage…
3. No transportation means (spaceships) or defense equipment (security systems, weapons etc) are produced to face dangers - unknown to their biggest percentage…
4. The majority of planet’s population is against proposed adventure because its interests do not match at any point with the interests of those promoting the… project; but, mainly, because the project itself is against any common sense due to the reasons mentioned above - and not only…

DIVERSION, THE PRIMARY STRATEGYExperience has proven that the simplest method of gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of basic systems principles on the one hand, while keeping them
confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance on the other hand
This is achieved by: (1) Disengaging their minds, sabotaging their mental activities, by providing a low quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design, and economics, and by discouraging technical creativity. (2)
Engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by: (a) unrelenting emotional affrontations and
attacks (mental and emotional rape) by way of a constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media - especially the T.V. and the newspapers. (b)
giving them what they desire - in excess - "junk food for thought" and depriving them of what they really need. (3) Rewriting history and law and subjecting the
public to the deviant creation, thus being able to shift their thinking from personal needs to highly fabricated outside priorities. These preclude their
interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of social automation technology. The general rule is that there is profit in confusion; the more confusion, the more
profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and then offer the solutions.

DIVERSION SUMMARY MEDIA: Keep the adult public attention diverted away
from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.
SCHOOLS: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and real history.
ENTERTAINMENT: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth grade level.
WORK: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm with the other animals.

However, first things first: What is ‘coincidence’?
It’s agreement; coexistence. Want more synonyms? Accompaniment, accord, accordance,collaboration, concomitance, concurrence, conformity, conjunction,
consonance, correlation, correspondence, parallelism, synchronism. Even antonyms give a more clear picture: clash, deviation, difference, disagreement, divergence, mismatch
Coincidence is an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental. A situation where two phases of equal composition coexist in a multicomponent system. This is an univariant assemblage in a system of any number of components, even though the number of phases is smaller than expected for a variance of one because of the additional restriction(s) of equal ... www.gps.caltech.edu/~asimow/glossary.html
Finally, what is a… ‘cosmic coincidence΄?
planet Earth : unique, particular & unrepeatable
CSR/Climate actions © Metis Accredited Observer to the UNFCCC
Cosmic coincidence s examples:Total eclipses of the Sun : Total solar eclipses are rare events.
Although they occur somewhere on Earth every 18 months on average,it has been estimated that they recur at any given place only once every 370 years, on average. The total eclipse only lasts for a few minutes at that location, as the Moon's umbra moves eastward at over 1700 km/h. Totality can never last more than 7 min 31 s, and is usually much shorter: during each millennium there are typically fewer than 10 total solar eclipses exceeding 7 minutes.

A Little Book of Coincidence … suggests that there may be fundamental relationships between space, time, and life that have not yet been fully understood. From the observations of Ptolemy and Kepler to the Harmony of the Spheres and the hidden structure of the solar system, John Martineau reveals the exquisite orbital patterns of the planets and the mathematical relationships that govern them. A table shows the relative measurements of each planet in eighteen categories, and three pages show the beautiful dance patterns of thirty six pairs of planets and moons.

The Earth, as a whole, has twelve different movements (4 main ones, 8 secondary) which science has been able to analyze, and of which the effects have been studied and the causes discovered
1. Movement of rotation Effects: day & night succession; many climate parameters are relevant
2. Movement of revolution around the Sun. Effects: succession of seasons
3. Helical motion: It follows solar system’s spiral rotation along the Galaxy
4. Galaxy motion: It follows Galaxy’s along its great journey together with all other galaxies

Atmosphere: another element of planet’s particular nature
A habitable planet needs an atmosphere with a concrete gas analogy. Earth’s atmosphere is mainly composed of oxygen and azote protecting it by solar radiation elements. It is unusual both in composition and abundance unlike other planets elementary ‘gas pouches’.
Earth’s atmosphere, assisted by Jupiter gravity, is protecting the planet from meteors.
Enriched by a pressure equal to 105Ρa (=1000mb) and average temperature of 30 degrees sound, and consequently, speech and songs transmission is highly favored. The latter are very precious components for civilization development

Another coincidence is ozone percentage. Although ozone is a kind of ‘enriched oxygen’, is poisonous to humans. It is less than an one millionth of the atmosphere. Its layer is so thin so that in case it could be all gathered, it would form a ring of a shoe sole depth around Earth. In case of more ozone life problem would have been arisen for Earth. In case of less, it wouldn’t be able to filter dangerous solar radiations. Just imagine what happens now that ozone layer is already problematic.

The moon…due to an undefined but inexplicable, but anyway

Coincidence Νr 32planet Earth : unique, particular & unrepeatable
CSR/Climate actions © Metis Accredited Observer to the UNFCCC
Distances are not at all stable. During the last 4 billion years sun’s blaze has been increased by 30%; as a result the habitable zone has moved far more away. In this narrow zone – ‘tube’, inside which the planet travels, water is only conserving liquid form on planet’s surface - this being a vital prerequisite for life. In our solar system this zone boundaries reach from 5% the nearest to 15% the far distant: that means its size is much more narrow than usual; however Earth has found there a place to exist. Odds for a planet to remain in that zone for as much time as it is necessary for life to develop are very few; however, … unnaturally for yet another time, Earth managed to stay there as long as needed.

Earth is the only planet which could boast of having unmeasurable amounts of liquid water, literally scarred by water shaping the ground.

The water
The liquid form of surface water is due to suitable temperature of a planet. This has to do with the distance the planet has from the sun. For life to flourish an abundant quantity of water is needed. .

The presence of a gigantic planet near - by
For life to exist many more astronomical favorable coincidences have to happen. Among these is the presence of a gigantic planet acting as a gravity shield against comets and asteroids. This is Jupiter.
The presence of our big brother planet, Jupiter, farther out in the solar system blocking Earth from much of the incoming debris, has also helped Earth become a safe haven for life. Jupiter acts like a giant broom, sweeping the solar system of debris (rocks as small as cars and as huge as moons) that could snuff out life in one fatal blow. This protective effect was particularly helpful in the solar system's early years, when Earth still got pummeled but, scientists say, not nearly as bad as would have been the case without Jupiter.

Human Civilization’s structural elements, from general ones (e.g. high level of culture, industry, technology, division of labor, founding of cities’, progress in agriculture, long-distance trade, occupational specialization, developed transportation system, complex political and social institutions, writing, standardized measurement, currency, , contractual and legal systems, usually a common language, usually a geographic locale, characteristic art and architecture, mathematics, enhanced scientific understanding, to some almost… naive but still ‘scientific’ ones (e.g. including even money collected through taxes, a privileged ruling class, a centralized government and a national priestly class). However, infrastructure of various kinds (i.e. IT infrastructure) is the most holistic structural element that satisfies the needs and wants of human civilization.
Comparing all the above with Nature’s equivalent quantities, the latter is superior to all. In most cases this is apparent. In some others it’s not, e.g. Nature’s IT infrastructure cases like Blue Tits able to culturally transmitting learning to other Tit species; the Hundredth monkey effect, etc.

Nature Civilization is one of the most eminent features of the planet. Its unique, particular & unrepeatablecomplexity is the resultof billions of years process
Enhanced by a privileged state of mind exclusively due to Earth’s climatic circumstances Human being is a plain part of nature but, at the same, he is the only one bearing a higher consciousness level with responsibility as one of its integral parts - as far our knowledge is concerned, a feature making him unique. Consequently, her / his main obligation is to harmonically coexist with the rest of the ecosystem

"I doubt that in our galaxy typical stars have planets just like Earth around them," Brownlee said. "I'm sure there are lots of planets in the galaxy that are somewhat similar to Earth, but the idea that this is a typical planet is nonsensical."
However Brownlee's view may be in the minority.

At the end of this presentation one might have more information both in quantity and quality regarding Earth, its rare features… and, more specifically, why…
It is a unique planet (= that means… one of a kind);
Particular (= in positive features); Unrepeatable (that means it’s not possible
for another similar planet to be created) with life, complex life, intelligent life, Nature civilization, humans, and human civilization

In case one is not persuaded, let’s attempt one more calculation: The possibility of Earth NOT BEEING UNIQUE, PARTICULAR & UNREPEATABLE is… ONE against the result of the multiplication of 46 coinci- dences multiplied by all the rest, that means 46 mounted to the 46th, or 1,7343773367030267519903781288812e+70 or ONE in… 17.343.773.367.030. 267.519. 903.781.288.812.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 or one in… (read it please)!

From nature and science’s point of view it’s impossible to all coincidences presented before to coincide for yet another time in order to ‘build’ another planet which will ‘cultivate’ along billions of years all those favorable circumstances for the development of such abundance of flora and fauna in a similar environment of air and water; in addition, it’s also impossible among so many species one to develop in such a degree so that it reaches the spiritual and technological level of human civilization of those last millenniums - and not of these last decades…

Thanks for your… astonishment Please send an e-mail to Dr. Steven
Hawking and the like asking them:1. When are they going to have spaceships for
8 billion people ready? 2. When is a planet identical to Earth going to
be discovered by him and his colleagues? 3. When - and how, are they going to get
more or less accurate information on conditions, at least in general, on the way to that… sister Earth?
