Unifying

For most of time the universe consisted of two distinct realms of situation: the Earth and the Sky.

The situations present on Earth are inexplicable and random. Chaotic and unprecedented. Storms, disease, droughts, floods, and scarcity plagued civilization with no certain forewarning. Things just happen and are continually happening, here, on the Earth..

The situations presented in the Sky are ordered and cyclic. Determined and precise. Constellations, planets, moon cycles, and eclipses occur like a heartbeat: steady and continuous for which they are studied so dutifully.

The Earth and Sky are separate and are governed by different rules, laws, and principles.

The only way in to understand the situations of Earth is with careful attention paid to the situations of the Sky. The appearance of constellations predict changing seasons. Regularities such as sunrise and sunset, eclipses, and colored moons give order for referencing passage of time. Knowledge and accurate measurement of the situations of the Sky are necessary, applicable, and essential to the perpetuation of life on Earth.  Accurate maps of the stars (and understanding of the properties of triangles) guided sailors across the seemingly endless seas and oceans we dared to cross.

After Newton we find that a single equation, F=M*A, can describe, with unprecedented accuracy, the situations of both realms bringing us order, understanding, and determination of the ever changing, unpredictable situations of Earth. The mathematical laws of Classical Mechanics unified our perception of our universe. We then put the first people on the moon using Calculus.
