Summary

'As a boy, I would walk out into the fields alone. Looking south, I set my eyes on the far ridge, wondering, not knowing, what lay beyond it. What world existed there? Now, as a man, I stand on the top of the Downs, up on the mountains green. To the south, the land folds down to the sea, but to the north the boy is there looking back at me…'
In a series of joyous, reflective and inspired diary pieces, Peter Owen Jones takes us on a voyage through the yearly cycle – a journey of inner and outer discovery. With the variety and colour of British seasonal life and the beauty of the Sussex countryside as his backdrop, Owen Jones observes the magical in the everyday – in the birds, bees and butterflies, but also in people. With lightness of touch and good humour, he calls for an awakening to the world around us, to ourselves, and ultimately to meaning in life.
Originally published as a series of separate articles in Sussex Life magazine, the essays gathered here provide a delightful glimpse into the life of a nature-loving country parson.
Available since: 04/15/2024.

    2019 closed a decade smoothly in most countries, but an unexpected complication that would change people’s lives worldwide, was slowly brewing. By November, a new virus, similar to many we have faced before, yet hitting harder than many would expect, began to spread across China. By January, the numbers the large country faced were alarming, and the first cases began to appear in far-away countries. By March, things had gotten so out of hand, there were half a million reported cases worldwide, with numbers increasing at an uncontrollable rate in many countries that underestimated the virus’ potential, costing the lives of many individuals. This sudden change in people’s lifestyles (which happened from one day to the next for many), meant a huge, unexpected need for adjustment that pretty much left them with their heads spinning.

    In the vast expanse of space, not everything we observe tells the full story. For centuries, astronomers believed that the stars, planets, gas clouds, and galaxies we could see were all there was to the universe. However, observations in the twentieth century began to suggest otherwise. The cosmos, as it turns out, is filled with something we cannot directly observe—something invisible yet undeniably present. This hidden substance came to be known as dark matter, and its discovery revolutionized our understanding of the universe. 
    The first real hints of dark matter came from studies of galaxies. When scientists examined how stars move within galaxies, they expected the outer stars to move more slowly than those near the center, based on the distribution of visible mass. However, what they found was shocking. Stars far from the center were moving at similar speeds as those near the core. This was only possible if there was a large amount of unseen mass exerting gravitational force throughout the galaxy. This discrepancy between the predicted and observed rotation speeds became one of the earliest and strongest pieces of evidence for the existence of dark matter. 
    At the same time, astronomers began noticing unusual behavior in galaxy clusters. These massive structures, made up of hundreds or even thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, seemed to have more mass than what could be accounted for by visible matter alone. The galaxies were moving too fast to be held together by the gravity of the stars and gas we could detect. Something else, something invisible, had to be holding them in place. Again, the idea of an unseen mass emerged, one that made up the majority of the clusters’ mass.
