“Studying the universe engages us in something bigger than ourselves. Science tries to describe, in terms we can only grasp intuitively, things that are beyond our intuition. . . . all we can hope for is that our physical descriptions, like a song or a good painting, are a faithful evocation of some ineffable truth.” TryingSongUniverseTermStudyPaintingIntellectualBiggerIntuitionFaithfulDescriptionIneffable Author:Guy Consolmagno
“There's a universe inside your head - a place of pictures and passions, of songs and sorrows. It's everything you are - and it's an utter mystery.” SongUniversePassionMysterySorrow Author:Jeffrey Kluger
“This is a catastrophic universe, always; and subject to hidden reversals, upheavals, changes, cataclysms, with joy never anything but the song of substance under pressure forced into new forms and shapes.” FormJoySongUniverseSubjectsShapesPressureSubstanceUnder PressureUpheavalReversal Author:Doris Lessing
“Sing, seraph with the glory! heaven is high. Sing, poet with the sorrow! earth is low. The universe's inward voices cry "Amen" to either song of joy and woe. Sing, seraph, poet! sing on equally!” EarthJoySongUniverseHeavenVoiceCryPoetSorrowLowsGlorySingersInwardWoeAmen Book:Poems Source: Poems
“For centuries before Google, MIT, and IDEO, modern hotbeds of innovation, we struggled to explain any kind of creation, from the universe itself to the multitudes of ideas around us. While we can make atomic bombs, and dry-clean silk ties, we still don't have satisfying answers for simple questions like: Where do songs come from? Are there an infinite variety of possible kinds of cheese? How did Shakespeare and Stephen King invent so much, while we're satisfied watching sitcom reruns? Our popular answers have been unconvincing, enabling misleading, fantasy-laden myths to grow strong.” KindHas BeensStillsIdeasSongUniverseStrongGrowsSimpleAnswersFantasyModernCenturyCreationKingsInnovationInfiniteCleanMythSatisfiedVarietyTiesDryBombsSatisfyingCheeseGoogleMultitudesMisleadSilkSitcomEnablingAtomic BombMitReruns Author:Scott Berkun
“We may exist in all universes, but 'hear' only one because of our limitations, the valve of our desires, our practical, physical needs. All is vibration, with nothing vibrating across no distance whatsoever. All is music. A universe, a world, is just one long difficult song. The difference between worlds is the difference between songs.” WorldNeedsMayLongDesireSongUniverseDifficultDifferencesDistancePracticalsLimitationJust OneVibrationsValve Author:Greg Bear
