The final 'second' - the longest slice of time in the world for an athlete - is that last half of the race, when you really bear down and see what you're made of. It seems to take an eternity, yet is all over before you can think what's happening. View quote

In the next five years, molecular Darwinism-the idea that Darwinian processes can produce complex molecular structures at the subcellular level-will be dead.
