President Calderón and Mayor Marcelo Ebrard Casaubón are getting ready to welcome you here next November. Nobel Prize winner Mario Molina, will also be waiting for you.
Yesterday Plácido Domingo was in the news here for his upcoming free concert in Mexico City, where he grew up.
What does it all mean?
It means that we are near what physicists call a phase transition, as when water boils.
Alex Filippenko felt at home in Mexico City, Acapulco, and Chilpancingo.
I feel like in the end of the Modern Novel, "A Hundred Years of Solitude" , once I start to understand, the world comes to an end. I explain here what I mean by that.
Globalization has finally shown to the most sensitive among us, that we are brothers and sisters, just like the elders told us, but we never quite understood what they meant.
In 2003 James Watson wrote DNA, to celebrate fifty years of his, and Francis Crick's discovery of the code of life. There you can read, how was it proven that we are all lost children, of a people that left Africa many years ago.
Now we have to help the people of our American president. His immediate ancestors in Kenya are at the brink of collapse, and first him, and then the rest of us, have to get to work, to save them. Literally they are dying.
The whole thing is unraveling. How else do you explain that in Copenhagen they were having meetings all over town, as Amy Goodman, showed for two weeks, small and big save the world meetings? Even President Obama came to organize spontaneous meetings, because the Chinese, wanted to get out of it. It was constructive chaos. We need good will among all the world family to save the Earth. As in a Hundred Years ... - if you haven't read it, do: García Márquez, got a Literature Nobel Prize for it - Aureliano II reads:
"Aureliano] had already understood that he would never leave . . . races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth."
We are at that moment now. The only difference is that not only Macondo; Aureliano's town, but the whole world is at stake.
Come to Mexico and save the only world in the whole Universe where we know there is life, and most importantly, Intelligent Life.
Gabriel García Márquez is sick, he has little time left, and he wrote that book in Mexico City.
