• y, Hutton's comprehension of endless deep time as a crucial scientific concept was developed into uniformitarianism by Charles Lyell in his Principles of Geology (1830–33).
• Physicist Gregory Benford addresses the concept, in Deep Time: How Humanity Communicates Across Millennia, as does paleontologist and Nature editor Henry Gee in In Search of Deep Time.^{[10] [11]} Stephen Jay Gould's Time's Arrow, Time's Cycle (1987) also deals in large part with the concept
