独立质子会快速衰退,而质子中子结合却可维持长期稳定,这样的故事告诉我们:生态城市中将产生一种协同效应。我们可以猜测,这种相互促进的新型关系会带来一种全新的活力。

理解了宇宙的自组织特性后,我们再来想一想星系。正是星系的螺旋结构才能产生恒星。椭圆星系没有这种螺旋结构,因而也失去了产生恒星的能力。水,土壤和空气年复一年地产生生命。特别是土壤,它是一种动态结构,需要三十亿年时间才能形成。我们现在就拥有土壤,只要能维持它的健康和完整,就能源源不断地产生食物。但如果我们破坏了土壤或是海洋的动态结构,就要等上数十亿年才能让它们恢复。

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
