The world is changing more and more quickly.

(Laughter)

The sweep of the times is changing rapidly.

Globalization is getting more complex.

This is a time of need.

You're looking at the outside shell of the virus, and the yellow color here are those parts of the virus that are evolving very, very fast, and the blue parts are not evolving very fast.

First of all, viruses are pretty complex, but they're also evolving very fast.

Beijing is changing so rapidly.

Basically, it took a billion years to have life on Earth.

Circumstances don't determine who you are, they reveal who you are.

There was a sudden change in the weather.

Rapid cell deterioration.

You see, I think what's happened, perhaps, is that we've not noticed that change I described earlier.

Frankly, what we're seeing now in this environment is a massive time, when the entire world is changing as we move from a time when audience numbers are plummeting.

And just as the biosphere has been severely eroded, so too is the ethnosphere

The temperature's dropping too rapidly.

It's moving faster than any of us ever imagined it would. It's moving fast.

This signaled the start of agriculture.

And it's this science, which is not only enlightening our understanding of the biological world, but also transforming our world faster than ever.

And if you remember the idea of slope from your Algebra 1 class that's exactly what acceleration is, in this diagram right over here

So we have a constant velocity of 5 m s so its magnitude is 5 m s, and it's constant, it's not changing as the seconds ticks away, the velocity does not change

The coastal ecosystem of British Columbia is rapidly declining.

The country was industrialized very quickly.

Or, more importantly, HlV, where the virus evolves so quickly the vaccines that are made today can't keep up with those evolutionary changes.

Computers have made rapid progress.

That stuff in our blood is supposed to jumpstart evolution.

So to remind you of physics

Some people will say that a woman being subordinate to a man is our culture.

Often, language definitions like C or Java or C or JavaScript they don't change very quickly, if they change at all.

It's changing.

So we, the millennials I am just a millennial are like foot soldiers, moving us from a culture of me to a culture of we.

The economy is rapidly deteriorating and unemployment is climbing.

They can't do very much.

living on a planet where their cities also steal the future, we're going to run out of future really fast.

We know that acceleration is equal to...change in velocity over change in time over here change in time is along the x axis so this right over here is a change in time and this right over here is a change in velocity

Now, over here there's great diversity that's where things are evolving fast.

The process is feeding on itself and becoming, I guess, autocatalytic is the word for it when something reinforces its rate of change.

And now I mainly write books about how the ocean is changing, and the ocean is certainly changing very rapidly.

It deteriorates so quickly in the tropics that we've had to put this special vaccine monitor on every single vial so that it will change very quickly when it's exposed to too much heat, and we can tell that it's not a good vaccine to use on a child it's not potent it's not going to protect them.

We're seeing the univeral platform of the web fragmenting back into multiple different worlds.

We have an enormous disparity in the world.

Okay, everyone

Nowadays, in addressing microbial biodiversity, scientists are like explorers in a rowboat launched onto the Pacific Ocean.

The more it changes, the faster it changes.
