And this is what time seems to be. And science has overlooked this, this most salient of facts about nature: that nature is a novelty conserving engine, and that from the very first moments of that most improbable Big Bang, novelty has been conserved, because in the very beginning there was only an ocean of energy pouring into the universe. There were no planets, no stars, no molecules, no atoms, no magnetic fields; there was only an ocean of free electrons. And then time passed and the universe cooled and novel structures crystallized out of disorder. First, atoms: atoms of hydrogen and helium aggregating into stars. And at the center of those stars the temperature and the pressure created something which had never been seen before, which was fusion. And fusion cooking in the hearts of stars brought forth more novelty: heavy elements—iron, carbon, four- valent carbon
