An idea is what? Not always easy to have ideas ...
must often be scratching your head ...
Sometimes you make every crumb ...
But the main thing is here: we must decide (or ideas)!
Before anything else, I think the idea of "coolest" must be linked with some form of universality .
Let me explain.
Telling a story that directly involves the listener (or watch) is a stakeholder in what is said and / or done. That is to say it is very important to return to data reaching as many people as possible. That does not mean that these ideas and presented either popularized forms, sanitized and ultimately stultifying (as demonstrated by some television programs) of knowledge and stories, on the contrary, it is necessary that everyone can, without too much difficulty, identify and plan Within what is told. The element that seems simple but it is complex it is.
For example, in (re) reading a book on the Templars (the famous knights who, in the year 1000 in the fourteenth century, rallied around a certain religious fanaticism during the crusades), I I learned that what these fighters looking past was primarily the formalization actantial forced a sharing of all knowledge and all religions .
In my opinion, any story must start from this premise, of course, but knowing that this goal remains elusive.
All subjects, all subjects can be addressed. The key is to make the data consistent with each other while providing a plot (which can be summarized, for example, how this child will grow in power or not good conditions, the ways in which a vehicle from point A to point B will travel, etc..).
Taking the example of the biggest bestseller of all time, the Bible, we learn, even without having read it (as it is rooted in a form of instant collective knowledge, at least in the West), that it treats all data universalist (or universalist) that tend to explain how the world was born, how men have evolved, what they may incur, focusing finally on the story of one character presented as the " son of God "... is to dissect in greater detail to get a real mental picture of this fabulous story.
We are all human beings (women and men) do if only managing to read these few lines (which does not mean that those who can not do are not "human") but we like in terms of comprehensiveness (Identity of cognition like) to our common ancestors who lived during the Ice Age ?
A story, unconsciously or not, near or far, born in the history of mankind, or rather their (s) historicity (s).
What are the elements who helped to enable us to find ourselves today in the situation we face? This "situation" itself gathers others, it brings so many situations copresence t there are human beings (that is to say, while these lines are written end-2006 - some 6 billion 500 million different situations ...). But this situation, a situation depend on other situations. If only one situation no longer exists, it will take with it other situational absence, other individuals who are not interacting, making a significant number of social configurations different can not see the day.
Let us pause over these lines.
example, imagine that Albert Einstein never found any of his scientific theories on relativity. Many scientists today would then not being [1] swot of the theories in question since they would not exist ... which does not mean that others would not have been able to establish themselves such theories ...
The famous formula (Universal) E = mc ² (where E is energy, m is mass and c is the speed of light, speed), representation par excellence of the present knowledge, is facing a challenge by "theories of the infinitely small," with the basics of quantum physics. Now is not this the same man who looked first on these questions? If Einstein was able to highlight both universalistic scientific theories, it has not fully tested for compatibility. At this very moment, physicists, astrophysicists, mathematicians, etc.. are now re-examine (often enthusiastically) the two sides highly scientific bringing together all our knowledge. Although the numbers are wrong, only a couple of parameters that can prove the compatibility between relativity and quantum have been updated today ... they are total a few hundred ...
Returning the original idea: ideas forming stories (themselves dependent of History) must be tinged with universal if they want attention .
The life of a human being can still be summarized in the famous riddle of the Sphinx to Oedipus offered in the morning it has 4 legs, at noon he was 2 and the evening he was 3. This analogy mark the three moments of the life of a human being: the "morning", he was a child, he drags himself to "4 legs" and the "south", he is an adult, it stands on two legs and goes about its business, the "evening", he is tired and needs a cane to help move forward.
One of the earliest factors of universality is another criterion that can not be more human (because it is the man who invented it): time.
Today, human life is about 80 years.
Planet Earth for its about 4 billion years.
These two statements, shifting and changing according to times, give us an idea (yet) of the two temporal extremes humans. To better illuminate borrow this time archaeologists another analogy temporal
Imagine that 4 billion years of our "good old Earth" only a single year of 365 days.
In these conditions, life as a unicellular bacterium, rears its nose towards the month of March, dinosaurs appeared around June, and ... man in all this ?
man as homo erectus, who is standing-(which is now estimated at 7 million years the emergence, with the discovery of human Dubai - hope of life - "steals" the first place to Lucy who had "only" 3 million years) seems to appear on December 31 of that year at about 8:30 am! He began to control the fire at around 18:45 (more than 10 hours to get there!), Jesus born (and died 33 years later) to 11:59 p.m. ET all our advances (which according to analytical postures, can either be presented as "Returns") technology would then account for a small second, starting from the industrial revolutions of the mid- nineteenth century ...
But what to do with this data? Become humble
most certainly question the future of mankind, the future in connection with its past, but mostly to satisfy itself that the time value as humanly universal "is probably something to both relative and very paradoxically universal ...
Maybe this a track to construct and tell a story.
time. Having, losing, fight against, run out, etc.. knowing that the final maturity of any human life is punctuated by a ticking ultimate recalling that there is not infinite (far away).
For we have here a fundamental factor that explains the desire of human evolution: for fear of breaking it puts everything in motion to organize, streamline its time of existence. Every minute counts. Was not it Benjamin Franklin who said that "time is money"?
soon as he arrives on Earth, the child who becomes man, wants more than anything to ensure that his time spent down here becomes something he can remember, the others will remember. The man is a creator.
Without creation, unimaginative nothing would have been possible.
If Leonardo (Da Vinci) had not dreamed the parachute more than 400 years before its appearance in today would we? Certainly, as the theories of relativity have been proven without Einstein, but it remains that the "parachute Leonardian" works. This was proven in 2005 by a "jumper" German.
This example, which is perhaps not the best given that the famous Leonard, described him as genius than crazy, reminds us, however it has also been imagined in terms of tool destruction, although the great "progress."
Long before the First World War, he had, indeed, conceived and designed the plan of a vehicle that today correspond to our tanks ...
[1] Tell you although right now, whatever the time, people work and toil (or not) to their tasks. The different time zones existing cover a range of 24 hours (+ 12 hours to the east / - 12 hours west). So if you read this about 18 hours in France, it is already midnight in Tokyo and New York only noon ... Human activity is a lean universal (or even galactic?).
