  The Universe is Funny Hunor Traian Deak Nov 17  · 4 min read The Universe is funny, Don’t you believe it? It exists, Yet scientists are not sure of it. The Earth is big yet so tiny in the sky, The stars above of us certainly shine bright, Yet it is the brightness of the past, When the Moon falls and the stars are chased away, The Dawn has came and it is here to stay. Its colours dance across the sky, from the strange pink light, To the burnt orange of sighs as the golden globe herself rises.

The early success of the trust has now inspired Arbroath man Hunor Deak to create a group focused on the geological treasures on the area’s doorstep — among them the Angus town’s distinctive red sandstone cliffs. New society will align with aims of Scottish Geology Trust. Hunor, 23, said: “If there was one place in the world you could go to understand how the planet works, why climate changes, why life evolved — Scotland would be it. “The diversity of geology in Scotland has underpinned some of the greatest discoveries about how the world works.” He said understanding of the earth was essential if we want to have a planet we can still live on in the future and the importance of the trust had been underlined by the support for the crowdfunder from multiple universities and internation...
