“...the mind is more powerful than any imaginable particle accelerator, more sensitive than any radio receiver or the largest optical telescope, more complete in its grasp of information than any computer: the human body- its organs, its voice, its powers of locomotion, and its imagination- is a more-than-sufficient means for the exploration of any place, time or energy level in the universe.” MindHumansMeanBodyUniverseEnergyVoiceImaginationLevelsPowerfulWonderInformationComputerRadioSensitiveSufficientExplorationOrgansHuman BodyParticlesTelescopesReceiverEnergy Levels Author:Terence McKenna
“Quantum events have a way of just happening, without any cause, as when a radioactive atom decays at a random time. Even the quantum vacuum is not an inert void, but is boiling with quantum fluctuations. In our macroscopic world, we are used to energy conservation, but in the quantum realm this holds only on average. Energy fluctuations out of nothing create short-lived particle-antiparticle pairs, which is why the vacuum is not emptiness but a sea of transient particles. An uncaused beginning, even out of nothing, for spacetime is no great leap of the imagination.” WorldWayUsedReligionEnergyCausesImaginationSeaEventsHappeningsAverageRealmsEmptinessPairsLeapAtomsVoidDecayQuantumConservationParticlesVacuumsTransientBoilingShort LivedFluctuationEnergy ConservationSpacetime Author:Taner Edis
“In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter. Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.” MatterLightFallEnergySpaceEternitySpreadEnormousCosmosExpansionParticlesMist Author:Brian Greene
“The central idea of string theory is quite straightforward. If you examine any piece of matter ever more finely, at first you'll find molecules, atoms, sub-atomic particles. Probe the smaller particles, you'll find something else, a tiny vibrating filament of energy, a little tiny vibrating string.” IfsFirstsLittlesIdeasMatterEnergyPiecesTheoryTinyStringsAtomsParticlesStraightforwardMoleculesString Theory Author:Brian Greene
“It is conceivable that animal life might have the attribute of using the heat of surrounding matter, at its natural temperature, as a source of energy for mechanical effect . . . .The influence of animal or vegetable life on matter is infinitely beyond the range of any scientific enquiry hitherto entered on. Its power of directing the motions of moving particles, in the demonstrated daily miracle of our human free-will, and in the growth of generation after generation of plants from a single seed, are infinitely different from any possible result of the fortuitous concurrence of atoms.” HumansDifferentMatterMightMovingEnergyGrowthNaturalAnimalResultsGenerationsInfluenceEffectsSourceMiraclePlantSeedsRangeHeatFree WillAttributesAtomsVegetablesParticlesTemperatureAnimal LifeEnquiryFortuitousConcurrenceDaily Miracles Author:Lord Kelvin
“The body is made up of atoms and subatomic particles that are moving at lightning speed around huge empty spaces and the body gives off fluctuations of energy and information in a huge void, so essentially your body is proportionately as void as intergalactic space, made out of nothing, but the nothing is actually the source of information and energy.” GivingMadeBodyMovingEnergySpaceInformationHugeSourceEmptySpeedYour BodyAtomsVoidLightningParticlesEmpty SpaceFluctuationSubatomic Particles Author:Deepak Chopra
“If you take a particle down, past neutrinos, you get vortexes, little whirlpools of energy. This is amazing, because what it really means, is everything is the same.
