Favorite quote / concept?
One of mine…
“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
-Carl Sagan ✨

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
Arthur C. Clarke
🙌🙌
I was so between that and with
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C. Clarke
They are both my favorite I guess :)
Good one.
I love physics so I guess both quotes reminds me that that even physics might open some of the mystery boxes there is (and probably always) another box or boxes that also waits to be unlocked inside the very box we just opened.
Love all these. Here is my fav, from the one and only Bruce Sterling in his book Schismatrix Plus:
“There is no war, only evolution in action.”
“The world is not a collection of things, it is a collection of events.”
-Carlo Rovelli, The Order of Time

"All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;..."
