Boltzmann Sequence:
"Earth is a cosmic low pressure center, drinking in the radiation from the cosmic ‘high pressure’ Sun and other stars–somday itself to become a star. All this recycling of energy, packaged as matter and redistributed as radiation, is done on such a grand scale in the Universe that it is able to eternally conserve and meet all complex evolutionary transformation requirements in an infinitely competent manner-- forever.
“I have introduced this big-scheme thinking because it was in just such terms that I found my 1927 resolution forcing me to think-- in order to be truly omniconsiderate. I had always to think about the fact that the Earth is a tiny planet where energy is supposed to be stored and saved, and that we must learn to operate it successfully for all humanity to come and do so within our natural cosmic energy income. This made it clear that good design on behalf of our fellow humans and all their generations to come must be considerate of the fact that Earth is a place where energy is being sent primarily for storage, wherefore we are only cosmically, which is realistically-ally, entitled to use energy out of our energy income in what must be very meager amounts, which must be very efficiently”
