“From the point of view of the physicist, a theory of matter is a policy rather than a creed; its object is to connect or co-ordinate apparently diverse phenomena, and above all to suggest, stimulate and direct experiment. It ought to furnish a compass which, if followed, will lead the observer further and further into previously unexplored regions.”

“In the elementary equations of the universe, the arrow of time appears only where there is heat…The link between time and heat is therefore fundamental.. Only when there is heat can there be a distinction between past and future.”
–Carlo Rovelli
“Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.”
