Mark Twain said it best:
"In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi
has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. Therefore
... in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period the Lower Mississippi River was upward of
one million three hundred thousand miles long... seven hundred and forty-two years
from now the Lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long...
There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns
of conjecture out of such a
Einstein:
"Only two things are infinite,
the universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former."
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

We actually have large areas abandoned
as populations moved to the cities.
