Being Mind Blown at the Museum



Let's just get straight to it - the dinosaur gallery at the Natural History Museum is one of my favourite places in London. It is nice to get away from the present for a while and feed your brain. Looking at what the world use to be like and also becoming mind blown about the way the world works, the way it has changed. My flatmates have this tendency to go off into deep, though-provoking conversations, mainly about the universe, the government and aliens. I am anxiously waiting for the day that aliens are proven to exist and an image is released of one. It would be so cool. 

So going to the Natural History Museum with one of my flatmates and best friend, Jess we ended up spending there hours there and constantly being mind blown when we would come up with our own little conspiracy theories about the world and how it is going to progress and change. My favourite theory of the day was the evolution of mankind and if or what we shall evolve to next. We had to evolve from monkeys in order to survive, the oxygen would have killed us. There were various dinosaurs i.e. the plesiosaurus which were once an on-land mammal and then evolved to become a sea mammal. This planted the seed in my head that with climate change and global warming occurring, the islands are slowly but surely deteriorating and disappearing into the ocean. The air is being polluted and trees are being cut down - decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Is this all leading up to the next stage of evolution? With the land slowly going away, all that Earth will eventually consist of is the vast depts of the oceans currently surrounding us. Does this the leave us with no choice but to adapt and change, to be able to survive underwear. The dawn of the mermaids. Maybe we have actually predicted the future and mermaids don't exist now but will seize to in the future due to evolution. I just really want the magic of mermaids to exist whether it was past, or is present or in the future.
