“I became aware of the very complex internal organization in a cell from the basic science classes, and it made me think about how all that could work. It seemed like a great mystery, especially how organelles in the cell can be arranged in three dimensions, and how thousands of proteins could find their way to the right location in the cells.” ThinkingWayMadeThreeClassMysteryOrganizationComplexesCellsDimensionsInternalsWorking ItLocationProteinThree DimensionsScience Class Author:James Rothman
“Which is worse, overload or underload? Luckily, I never had to choose. One or Pass on to where? Back into my cells to lurk like a virus waiting for the next opportunity? Out into the ether of the world to wait for the circumstances that would provoke its reappearance? Endogenous or exogenous, nature or nurture - it's the great mystery of mental illness.” WorldNextOpportunityWaitingMysteryCircumstancesIllnessMental IllnessCellsProvokingNurtureVirusesOverload Book:Girl, Interrupted Source: Girl, Interrupted
“There are thousands of proteins in the cells, some of them very large chains of molecules. And the cell doesn't function if one of those chains of molecules isn't there, and you start looking at the complexity of life and the mystery of life, and then start thinking about things like the twenty universal constants, that if any one of them from Plank's minimum to the mass of a proton, if one of them is the tiniest bit off, there would be no life or possibility of it in the universe.” IfsThinkingWould BeUniverseBitsMysteryPossibilityMassUniversalFunctionTwentiesChainsCellsComplexityMinimumMoleculesProteinMystery Of LifeProton Author:Dean Koontz
“We are living in an inspiring and unimaginably large universe. Contemplating the immensity of our cosmos can make you feel very small and insignificant. But think about it. You have 37.2 trillion cells in your body. There is vastness outside you and vastness inside you. You are connected to this mystery, you are a microcosm of the universe, and every aspect of your life benefits from the universe's provision.” ThinkingFeelsBodyUniverseMysteryBenefitsAspectConnectedYour BodyCellsCosmosContemplatingInsignificantProvisionVastnessImmensityMicrocosm Author:Agapi Stassinopoulos
