The Road To Mars: A Post-Modem Novel (1999) (1999) - Plot & Excerpts
Laughing matter. The cosmic joke. Brilliant, isn’t it? Levity. Expanding the Universe. So simple. We’re all moving at the speed of laughter. Time. Timing. The secret of comedy is. We are the only point in the present in the entire visible Universe. In every direction we are looking backwards in time. Want to see the past? It’s above your head. For all we know, the Universe might have been switched off five minutes ago, but we wouldn’t know it for several million years. Is ignorance bliss? We’re still here, ain’t we? Life goes on. Evolution continues. So what about comedy then? The useful defense mechanism. It’s specifically human, isn’t it? It’s humor that separates man from the animals. It isn’t possession of tools; chimps have tools. It isn’t farming; ants farm. It isn’t music; birds and whales have music. It’s comedy. Its magical alchemy turns anger into humor, as the stars convert hydrogen into energy. Gravity exerts a strong pull, but according to Carlton, levity exerts an equally strong push.
