“If you take a look at the most fantastic schemes that are considered impossible: teleportation, warp drive, parallel universes, other dimensions, artificial intelligence, ray guns, you realize that they can be possible if we advance technology a little bit.” IfsLooksLittlesUniverseBitsRealizingTechnologyImpossibleLittle BitGunFantasticDimensionsArtificial IntelligenceRaysArtificialSchemesParallelsWarpParallel Universe Author:Michio Kaku
“It seems far simpler to go ahead and say that the epic is a fantastic myth, that happens to be true of the material Universe, that other myths are true in terms of their cultural meaning, and that there's absolutely no problem with holding more than one story, just as there's no problem with viewing the sunset in terms of planetary rotation and spectra and nuclear fusions one moment and as visual splendor the next.” MomentsStoriesProblemSeemsHappensUniverseNextTermMaterialsMythNuclearBeing TrueFantasticVisualsSunsetEpicNo ProblemSplendorFusionRotationNuclear Fusion Author:Ursula Goodenough
“Religion is but a desperate attempt to find an escape from the truly dreadful situation in which we find ourselves. Here we are in this wholly fantastic universe with scarcely a clue as to whether our existence has any real significance. No wonder then that many people feel the need for some belief that gives them a sense of security, and no wonder that they become very angry with people like me who say that this is illusory.” PeopleNeedsGivingFeelsRealUniverseBeliefExistenceSituationWonderAtheismSecurityAngryPositive AtheismLike MeFantasticDesperateSignificanceClueIllusory Book:The nature of the universe Source: The nature of the universe
“No teaching that is not based on reason can be tolerated by critical minds, but the belief that an accident of blind force produces this highly organized world is far more fantastic than the theory that a Super Intelligence devised its ordered evolution.” WorldMindReasonUniverseBeliefForceTeachingProduceTheoryEvolutionBlindCriticalAccidentsFantasticOrganized Author:Alice Hegan Rice
“Folk-lore means that the soul is sane, but that the universe is wild and full of marvels. Realism means that the world is dull and full of routine, but that the soul is sick and screaming. The problem of the fairy tale is: what will a healthy man do with a fantastic world? The problems of the modern novel is: what will a madman do with a dull world? In the fairy tales the cosmos goes mad; but the hero does not go mad. In the modern novels the hero is mad before the book begins, and suffers from the harsh steadiness and cruel sanity of the cosmos.” MenWorldMeanDoeBookSoulProblemSufferingUniverseNovelModernHeroHealthySickMadFolksTalesFantasticFairyDullCosmosRoutineSanityFairy TaleSaneRealismHarshMadmenSteadinessModern Novel Author:Gilbert K.

“If you believe in god, it's much more fantastic to believe that he created this universe billions of years ago and set in motion this long train of activities that eventually resulted in us. I think that's so much more satisfying, more thrilling, than the idea that it was all done in seven days.” IfsThinkingYearsBelieveLongIdeasDoneUniverseActivityYears AgoTrainSevenBillionsFantasticBelieve In GodSatisfyingThrillingIf You BelieveSeven Days Author:Bill Bryson
