“Everything evolves to wisdom and peace—and stability—through big revolutionary events.”

A radically different conception of the cosmos is in the process of being born. It spreads throughout every discipline: a new schema, a new way of seeing things that illuminates phenomena that previously seemed mysterious. It finds its expression across disciplines, even in the study of the planets.

Not sure it is brand new, but from a Western perspective of history, it is definitely a dramatic shift from Enlightenment conceptions of a mechanistic, ordered universe that has been guiding our thought for centuries (probably more if you follow each thread).
