“Some say that the universe is made so that when we are about to understand it it changes into something even more incomprehensible. And then there are those who say that this has already happened.” MadeUniverseHappened Author:Douglas Adams
“Just remember, loss is imaginary. Nothing ever disappears in the universe; it only changes form. If there is something that still wounds you, it's because of the meaning that you have linked to it. Maybe what you need to do is to have faith and say, 'Even though I don't know why this has happened, I am willing to trust. Someday, when the time is right, I will understand.'” IfsKnowsNeedsStillsMotivationalRememberFormUniverseLossHappenedWillingDisappearWoundsSomedayHave FaithImaginaryLinked Author:Tony Robbins

I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened ' it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.” WorldYearsWellsKindMeanIdeasMightUniverseOpportunityWonderfulHappenedConcernedExtraordinarySimplicityAriseComplexityFabulousRichnessStrangenessHitchhikingTime Well Spent Author:Douglas Adams
“There may be many Big Bangs that happened at various and far-flung locations, each creating its own swelling, spatial expanse, each creating a universe - our universe being the result of only one of those Big Bangs.” MayBigsUniverseResultsHappenedCreatingVariousLocationBangsExpanseSwellingSpatial Author:Brian Greene
“The Copernican revolution was actually a contribution to the life of the church, the development of our view of ourselves in terms of the Universe, and therefore our view of God, et cetera.
