|a This book questions the physics of diversitywhy diversity happens by itself, why it is a phenomenon that has a mind of its own, and why it opposes any effort of being shoehorned into a few distinct (antagonistic) classes. Physics is not opinion; physical facts can be put to the test. The book begins with fundamentals of design evolution in naturemovement, time direction, freedom to change, size, shape, structure. It continues with pictorial examples of distinct evolutionary domains of the most common type: people, animals, athletes, rhythms, technologies, and universities. The features of diversity shared so clearly by so many dissimilar domains empower the biosphere with the design that sustains it and assures its future. An integral part of natures design is the merit system. This way the readers discover on their own that diversity emerges naturally, inevitably, steadfastly, and beneficially. The book is alive with illustrations, anecdotes, humor, and history. Reveals that diversity emerges naturally, inevitably, steadfastly, and beneficially Explains how Unnatural (imposed) diversity is destined to fade, like all the unhelpful ideas, inventions and laws Liberates the readers to question, think, decide, and then question themselves.
