“Nothing which consists of corporeal matter is absolutely light, but that is comparatively lighter which is rarer, either by its own nature, or by accidental heat. And it is not to be thought that light bodies are escaping to the surface of the universe while they are carried upwards, or that they are not attracted by the earth. They are attracted, but in a less degree, and so are driven outwards by the heavy bodies; which being done, they stop, and are kept by the earth in their own place.” MatterDoneBodyLightEarthUniverseDegreesHeavySurfaceDrivenHeatEscapingLightersBeing Done Author:Johannes Kepler
“Science offers the boldest metaphysics of the age. It is a thoroughly human construct, driven by the faith that if we dream, press to discover, explain, and dream again, thereby plunging repeatedly into new terrain, the world will somehow come clearer and we will grasp the true strangeness of the universe. And the strangeness will all prove to be connected, and make sense.” IfsWorldHumansDreamAgeFaithUniverseOffersProvePressesConnectedDrivenMake SenseMetaphysicsConstructsStrangenessTerrain Author:E. O.

“Who can estimate the misery that has been caused by this infamous doctrine of eternal punishment? Think of the lives it has blighted-of the tears it has caused-of the agony it has produced. Think of the millions who have been driven to insanity by this most terrible of dogmas. This doctrine renters God the basest and most cruel being in the universe. ... There is nothing more degrading than to worship such a god.” ThinkingHas BeensUniverseEvilReligiousMillionsTearsTerribleEternalWorshipMiseryDrivenPunishmentDoctrineInsanityDogmaAgonyDegradingInfamous Author:Robert Green Ingersoll
“We should explore new ways to drive down the cost of space travel. instead of costly booster rockets, maybe we should think of laser/microwave driven rockets, or space elevators. Until then, the cost of space exploration will limit our ability to explore the universe.” ThinkingWayShouldUniverseAbilitySpaceCostLimitsDrivenExplorationNew WaysRocketsSpace ExplorationElevatorsSpace TravelLasersMicrowaves Author:Michio Kaku
