Helen demonstrates how human beings are missing out on at least half of the bounty of the cosmos we live in. She takes us on a flight of fantasy of perception (via glowing scorpions, stars, and satellites) arguing that our position between the superfast of nanoseconds and super slow of millennia, makes us unique in our ability to process the mid-range of time and scale in the universe. For Czerski, we are all but stuck, and wonderfully so in this “messy, sentient, beautiful layer between the earth and the cosmos”, and she concludes:
“that is all we are”.
