“The problem is that modern fundamental physics is so far from you and me. The mathematics has become so much more complicated that you need at least 10 years to understand it. Fundamental physics has advanced so far from the understanding of most people that there is really a big disconnect.” PeopleNeedsYearsProblemBigsUnderstandingModernMathematicsFundamentalsComplicatedPhysics Author:Yuri Milner
“I'm a big reader. My kids love reading, and I think it's important, not just for development but for bonding. You start reading to kids before they can even understand what you're saying to them, so I look at it as a fundamental tool for connection.” ThinkingLooksImportantBigsKidsReadingDevelopmentReaderToolsConnectionsFundamentalsBondingLove Of ReadingKids Love Author:Ziggy Marley

“In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury raised cautions against mass media, especially the television, which dumb down human sensibilities and coerce everybody's thoughts into a single uniform value, allowing human to forget the fundamental action of "having one's opinion". As a result, the society deteriorates. I decided to exhibit [Edward] Kienholz's work which features television as its subject, as well as the Big Double Cross as works that represent this warning.” HumansWellsBigsActionValuesForgetResultsOpinionSubjectsMediaTelevisionMassCrossesDecidedFundamentalsRaisedDumbFeaturesAllowingWarningRaysUniformsSensibilityCautionExhibitsMass MediaCoerceBradbury Author:Yasumasa Morimura
“It's becoming clear that in a sense the cosmos provides the only laboratory where sufficiently extreme conditions are ever achieved to test new ideas on particle physics. The energies in the Big Bang were far higher than we can ever achieve on Earth. So by looking at evidence for the Big Bang, and by studying things like neutron stars, we are in effect learning something about fundamental physics.” IdeasBigsEarthScienceEnergyStarsLearningStudyClearAchieveConditionsEffectsBecomingHigherEvidenceTestsFundamentalsExtremesPhysicsCosmosNew IdeasBangsParticlesLaboratoryNeutronsParticle Physics Author:Martin Rees
“If we want energy security, then we have to reduce our appetite for fossil fuels. There's no other way. Other issues may crowd the headlines, but this is our fundamental challenge. Big challenges require bold action and leadership. To get the United States off fossil fuels in this uneasy national climate of terrorism and conflict in the Persian Gulf, we must treat the issue with the urgence and persistance it deserves. The measure of our success will be the condition on which we leave the world for the next generation.” IfsWorldWayWantMayStatesBigsActionNextEnergyChallengesUnitedUnited StatesIssuesGenerationsConditionsSecurityConflictDeserveTreatsFundamentalsClimateCrowdsTerrorismFuelAppetiteFossilsNext GenerationHeadlinesFossil FuelUneasyRenewable EnergyPersianBig ChallengesPersian GulfEnergy SecurityBold ActionsPersistance Author:Robert Redford

“That one record changed everything for me. After Sgt. Pepper, it's the most influential record in the history of rock and roll. It affected Pink Floyd deeply, deeply, deeply. Philosophically, other albums may have been more important, like Lennon's first solo album. But sonically, the way the record's constructed, I think Music from Big Pink is fundamental to everything that happened after it.” ThinkingWayFirstsMayHas BeensImportantBigsRecordsHappenedRocksChangedFundamentalsAlbumsAffectedSoloRock And RollInfluentialPeppersLennonSgt Pepper Author:Roger Waters
