The Walk Through Time

by Ann Zulliger, AWC Zürich

universe 2742113 1280In my recent article on Donella Meadows, I mentioned an excellent book about the evolutionary process: A Walk Through Time: From Stardust to Us—the Evolution of Life on Earth, by Sidney Liebes, Elisabeth Satoris et al. An outdoor exhibit version of the Walk Through Time is now open to visitors at Lassalle-Haus Bad Schönbrunn in Switzerland until August 30, 2021.  

The creator of the Walk, Dr. Sidney Liebes, had dreamed of realizing this project for many years and was able to do so in the mid-1990s. He hoped visitors would experience “awe and wonder” when viewing it and realize the miracle and time span from the beginning of life on earth to the present day. The 52 posters set up on the grounds are spaced according to the time spans between each development. 

The current exhibit is in German; however, an English version of the Walk Through Time is also available online, and you can visit any time.
