But it is not necessary to imagine the earth being destroyed like a nova by a stellar explosion to understand vividly the growing scope of atomic war and to recognize that unless another war is it is likely to ring destruction on a scale never before held possible, and even now hardly conceived, and that little civilization would survive it. - [Atomic Bombs] Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. - [Value] Nothing happens until something moves. - [Action : Nothingness] On the big Bang theory: "For every one billion particles of antimatter there were one billion and one particles of matter.

Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity. - [Physics] Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory yields a lot, but it hardly brings us any closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He doesn't play dice. - [God] Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who read too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. - [Books] Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. - [Reality] Relativity applies to physics, not ethics. - [Physics] Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality. - [Reality] Displaying page 6 of 10 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 [6] 7 8 9 10
