Whereas most birds are sole proprietors of their nests, some tropical species “time share” together – a discovery that helps clear up a 150-year-old evolutionary mystery, says Queen’s University Biology professor Vicki Friesen.

An international study confirms one of Charles Darwin’s more controversial theories – first put forward in 1859 and since disputed by many experts – that different species can arise, unhindered, in the same place. Others believe that a geographic barrier such as a mountain or a river is required to produce two separate species. Although focused on how species change over time through natural selection, Darwin’s landmark book, The Origin of Species, also speculates that it is possible for different species to develop in the same place.

A new theory on the origin and future of the universe turns modern science on its end, and reinforces the views of time held by ancient thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle and Leonardo da Vinci.

The universe’s clock has neither a start nor finish, yet time is finite according to a New Zealand theorist. The theory, which tackles the age-old mystery of the origin of the universe, along with several other problems and paradoxes in cosmology, calls for a new take on our concept of time – one that has more in common with the “cyclic” views of time held by ancient thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle and Leonardo da Vinci, than the Christian Calender and Bible-influenced belief in “linear” time now so deeply imbedded in modern western thinking.

"A good way to think about it is to picture a clock, with the big
bang being at time 0, the universe beginning to contract at
6 o'clock, and the big crunch being at 12 o'clock. Just before 12,
the clock resets and immediately resumes at 0. Although the
hands of the clock will continue to rotate indefinitely, it is the very
same 12 hour interval that plays over, not a later one - there
are no past or future cycles of the universe. It is one and the
same."
