“The Encyclopedia Britannica provides unwitting support for the biblical framework. In a table of fossil placental mammals, the proboscideans (and all other orders) are proceeded by dotted lines, indicating no actual fossils of their alleged evolutionary ancestors. And it says: 'The order Proboscidea has evolved from unknown ancestors that were not much larger than pigs.' Of course, if the ancestors are 'unknown', we can't know what size they were, or even if they ever existed!”

“I just want to ask the two of you one question: Is the technological gaps between humans and Trisolarans greater than the one between locusts and humans?" “Look at them, the bugs. Humans have used everything in their power to extinguish them: every kind of poison, aerial sprays, introducing and cultivating their natural predators, searching for and destroying their eggs, using genetic modification to sterilize them, burning with fire, drowning with water. Every family has bug spray, every desk has a flyswatter under it … this long war has been going on for the entire history of human civilization. But the outcome is still in doubt. The bugs have not been eliminated. They still proudly live between the heavens and the earth, and their numbers have not diminished from the time before the appearance of the humans. The Trisolarans who deemed the humans bugs seemed to have forgotten one fact: The bugs have never been truly defeated.”

“My brain hid the improvement. Daily life normalizes change before you register it. You feel slightly better, then that becomes the new baseline, and you forget what 'worse' felt like. But my notes held the truth. My brain didn't.”

“The fact that entangled particles can influence each other faster than the speed of light is taken as proof that there is a spiritual domain of instant communication outside material reality; the fact that a wave function collapses into reality through observation is interpreted as a proof that observation creates reality... no wonder many podcasts claim that quantum mechanics proves material reality is a simulacrum, that all there is, is spirit, etc.”

“Margaret's favorite kind of news story is - would anyone believe this? - the weather. The dull, the prosaic, the default I-have-nothing-else-to-talk-about-so-let's-talk-about-the-weather topic is, to Margaret's mind, a stunning daily phenomenon, overlooked, and taken for granted. Margaret loves it all: hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, lightning storms, and - the ultimate bonanza - an earthquake followed by a tsunami. This may seem sadistic, but even as she mourns any loss of life, she is intrigued by the science of it. Weather is a physical manifestation of the earth's power. Margaret also likes that weather defies prediction. Meteorologists can get close, but there are no guarantees. The world, Margaret thinks, is full of surprises.”
