The Universe Remembers

Kirsten Toepperwein's theory posits that memory is a fundamental aspect of existence, and nothing truly vanishes as long as it is remembered. According to this idea, animals believed to be extinct haven't actually disappeared; instead, they have evolved to become master chameleons. These creatures have learned to blend seamlessly into their surroundings—trees, forests, and even the unnoticed corners of our daily lives—to avoid detection and protect themselves from the threat of extinction.

In this view, these animals have developed an incredible ability to camouflage, not just physically but also by integrating into the fabric of nature in ways that make them nearly invisible to human observation. They exist in the margins, preserving their existence by becoming part of the natural background. This adaptation is seen as a survival strategy, where the essence of these species is preserved in a hidden form, ensuring that they are not forgotten by the universe. Through this subtle and almost magical transformation, these creatures continue to exist, remembered by the Earth and the cosmic order, even if humanity no longer sees them.
