If we look at, for example, elbow to fingertip, and we were talking earlier before the recording about the golden section, sometimes called the divine proportion, and I said if you take a line, you divide it asymmetrically, there's one point that divides that line so that the ratio of the small to the large segment is exactly the same as the large segment to the whole or the sum of the two. Right.
And I said that, and, and so in this lecture, I was pointing out that this life seems to have utilized this, this particular geometric relationship, because we find it over and over again, embedded in all kinds of things like phylo taxes and, you know, in the botanical realm, in the, the animal kingdom in particularly so in humans.

And I was citing this idea of scale and variance, we might call it that. So in other words, the scale, the ratio, the proportional relationships between the parts and the whole are invariant no matter what the scale is. And I said the same thing holds true in geology.

And that's why if you take a geology book and you look at it, oftentimes you'll see a photograph and there will almost always be something in that photograph for, for a sense of scale, because in oftentimes it'll be the traditionally the geologists will put their rock hammer in the picture or their hat. Or if it's a larger image, there'll be a person standing there, right?

Otherwise you're going, okay, is this, are we looking at a six foot outcrop or a 600 foot outcrop? And I was citing scale and variance in geology. And I cited this example that we're looking at right here. And I commented about how I had this sort of intuitive response to standing on this bluff, looking into this channel. And there was a fellow in the group that had had a geology degree.

And he said, no, no, no, no. going to correct me. These things happen over millions of years. I said, I don't think so. I think I'm right and you're wrong. But it kind of annoyed me. So I really dove in. I did a lot of research. I even ended up enrolling and it was enough to motivate me. I said, okay, I'm going to really learn some good solid geology.

I enrolled in university and spent a couple of years studying geology. came out of it convinced that I was right and he was wrong. And now since then, you know, I've, there have been papers presented. And so the, the large channel now, and this is ignored and you can, you can, you can, this is the verification comes through multiple different ways.

Um, but anyways, this is now recognized as, and has been even given name glacial river Warren. And as it's peak discharge, um, its volume of flow was 4,000 times greater than that of the modern Minnesota river. Glacial river Warren.
