“Memories seem to surface in no particular order, with no time attached. Yesterday can seem as distant as last year. My life now consists of fragments where some are so blinding in their intensity that they make everything else indistinguishable. It feels as if my existence was extinguished in a flash, and afterwards my universe became incomprehensible. I want to remember everything. But perhaps I need to give it more time. Allow myself some rest. Distance myself a little, to see if I can make out a pattern. And face the truth about what is really there.” IfsWantNeedsGivingFeelsYearsLittlesI CanSeemsLastsRememberFacesOrderUniverseMemoriesExistenceParticularDistancePatternsSurfaceYesterdayMore TimeIntensityFlashLast YearFragmentsMake OutRemembers EverythingFacing The TruthDistance Myself Author:Linda Olsson
“Röntgen has familiarized us with an order of vibrations of extreme minuteness compared with the smallest waves with which we have hitherto been acquainted, and of dimensions comparable with the distances between the centers of the atoms of which the material universe is built up; and there is no reason to suppose that we have here reached the limit of frequency.” ReasonOrderUniverseMaterialsLimitsBuiltDistanceWaveExtremesDimensionsNo ReasonAtomsSmallestVibrationsFrequency Author:Wilhelm Rontgen
“Thus, the distance between any two galaxies increases in time, creating the illusion of mechanical motion. But in reality, galaxies just sit there, contemplating the spectacle of the universe creating more and more space in between them.” TwoRealityUniverseSpaceCreatingIllusionIncreaseDistanceContemplatingGalaxy Book:Faster Than The Speed Of Light: The Story of a Scientific Speculation Source: Faster Than The Speed Of Light: The Story of a Scientific Speculation
“We in astrophysics we think of the universe all the time. So to us, Earth is just another planet. From a distance, it's a speck. And I'm convinced that if everyone had a cosmic perspective you wouldn't have legions of armies waging war on other people because someone would say, "Stop, look at the universe."” PeopleIfsThinkingLooksWarEarthUniversePlanetsPerspectiveArmyDistanceConvincedCosmicLegionSpecksAstrophysicsWaging War Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“The first progressive step for a mind overwhelmed by the strangeness of things is to realize that this feeling of strangeness is shared with all men and that human reality, in its entirety, suffers from the distance which separates it from the rest of the universe.” MenMindFirstsHumansFeelingsRealitySufferingUniverseRealizingStepsDistanceProgressiveOverwhelmedStrangenessEntirety Book:The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt Source: The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt
“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
