“Hoyle's enduring insights into stars, nucleosynthesis, and the large-scale universe rank among the greatest achievements of 20th-century astrophysics. Moreover, his theories were unfailingly stimulating, even when they proved transient.” UniverseStarsCenturyTheoryAchievementEndureInsightScales20th CenturyTransientLarge ScaleAstrophysicsGreatest Achievement Author:Fred Hoyle
“It turns out that information leaks between universes at the quantum level. We think it accounts for all kinds of phenomena, from what drives evolution to strange insights and mystical experiences through the ages. The machine was built as an attempt to investigate and amplify them.” ThinkingKindAgeTurnsUniverseLevelsInformationStrangeEvolutionBuiltMachinesAccountsInsightAll KindsQuantumMysticalLeaksAmplifyMystical Experiences Book:Paths to Otherwhere Source: Paths to Otherwhere
“Spinoza , for example, thought that insight into the essence of reality, into the harmonious structure of the eternal universe, necessarily awakens love for this universe. For him, ethical conduct is entirely determined by such insight into nature, just as our devotion to a person may be determined by insight into his greatness or genius. Fears and petty passions, alien to the great love of the universe, which is logos itself, will vanish, according to Spinoza, once our understanding of reality is deep enough.” MayPersonsEnoughRealityUniversePassionUnderstandingExampleGreatnessGeniusEternalEssenceStructureInsightDeterminedDevotionAliensEthicalPettyGreat LoveHarmoniousLogosSpinoza Book:Eclipse of Reason Source: Eclipse of Reason

“The universe does not exist 'out there,' independent of us. We are inescapably involved in bringing about that which appears to be happening. We are not only observers. We are participators. In some strange sense, this is a participatory universe. Physics is no longer satisfied with insights only into particles, fields of force, into geometry, or even into time and space. Today we demand of physics some understanding of existence itself.” DoeTodayScienceUniverseForceUnderstandingSpaceExistenceFieldsStrangeInvolvedDemandHappeningsIndependentInsightPhysicsSatisfiedObservationTime And SpaceObserversParticlesGeometry Author:John P.
