“What I do for living, working on something called string theory which we think may answer the fundamental question: Are there other universes? Can you go through a black hole? Can you warp the fabric of space and time and meet your mother before you were born? These are all questions that in principle string theory should be able to answer.” ThinkingShouldMayAbleMotherUniverseBlackBornSpaceAnswersPrinciplesTheoryFundamentalsHolesStringsFabricTime And SpaceBlack HoleWarpString Theory Author:Michio Kaku
“It should also be born in mind that the research on 'movement' and the dynamic outlook on the world, which were the basis of Futurist theory, in no way required one to paint nothing but speeding cars or ballerinas in action; for a person who is seated, or an inanimate object, though apparently static, could be considered dynamically and suggest dynamic forms. I may mention as an example the 'Portrait of Madame S.' (1912) and the 'Seated Woman' (1914).” WorldWayShouldMindMayPersonsActionFormBornCarExampleMovementObjectsTheoryResearchBasesPaintPortraitsOutlookStaticBallerinaSpeedingInanimate ObjectsFuturistSpeeding Cars Author:Gino Severini
“A father of the church said that property was theft, many centuries before Proudhon was born. Bourdaloue reaffirmed it.

“People have an affinity towards things, and you don't know where it comes from. Mozart wrote a symphony when he was four, so it's said; the theory is maybe because his father was a conductor, it happened in vitro, and he heard the music before he was born, and by the age of four he knew how to write music.” PeopleKnowsWritingSaidAgeFatherBornFourHappenedHeardTheoryMusic IsSymphonyConductorAffinity Author:William Shatner
