“All the life of the universe may be regarded as manifestations of energy masquerading in various forms, and all the changes in the universe as energy running about from one of these forms to the other, but always without altering the total amount.”-Sir James Jeans
An Expert
“An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.”
-Niels Bohr
Theory Of Matter
“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.”
Whole Within The Fragments
“Unlike normal photographs, every small fragment of a piece of holographic film contains all the information recorded in the whole.”
-Micheal Talbot
Heat & Time
“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
The Longest Thread
“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.”
–Richard Feynman
Who Knows?
“My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.”
–Stephen Hawking
