Quotes About Cosmos

we are all born from the same celestial seed; all of us have the same father, from which the earth, the mother who feeds us, receives clear drops of rain, producing from them bright wheat and lush trees, and the human race, and the species of beasts, offering up the foods with which all bodies are nourished, to lead a sweet life and generate offspring

Life on Earth gives only a small taste of what can happen in the universe.

We are made of the same stardust of which all things are made, and when we are immersed in suffering or when we are experiencing intense joy, we are being nothing other than what we can't help but be: a part of our world.

Within the immense ocean of galaxies and stars we are in a remote corner; amidst the infinite arabesques of forms which constitute reality we are merely a flourish among innumerably many such flourishes.

En el mar inmenso de galaxias y estrellas, somos un apartado rincón infinitesimal; entre los infinitos arabescos de formas que componen lo real, nosotros no somos más que un garabato entre muchos.

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas-covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away, and think this to be normal, is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.'104

But there are not just two times. Times are legion: a different one for every point in space. There is not one single time; there is a vast multitude of them.

The world is strange, but simple

The quanta of gravity, that is, are not in space; they are themselves space. The

Büyük bir y?ld?z tüm yak?t?n? (hidrojeni) tüketti?inde sönmeye ba?lar. Geriye kalanlar, yanmadan kaynaklanan ?s?yla ayakta kalamaz, kendi a??rl???yla çöker, uzay? o kadar güçlü bir biçimde e?er ki gerçek bir deli?e dü?er. Bunlar ünlü karadeliklerdir.

I want a theory of physics that accounts for the structure of the universe, that clarifies what it is to be an observer in the universe, not a theory that makes the universe depend on me observing it.

Is the daily spectacle of a revolving universe "illusory"? No, it is real, but it doesn't involve the cosmos alone. It involves our relation with the sun and the stars. We understand it by asking ourselves how we move. Cosmic movement emerges from the relation between the cosmos and ourselves.

Proper time" depends not only on where you are and your degree of proximity to masses; it depends also on the speed at which you move. It's a strange enough fact in itself, but its consequences are extraordinary. Hold on tight, because we are about to take

It is the curious local structure of the present that produces black holes.

The sun bends space around itself, and Earth does not turn around it because of a mysterious force but because it is racing directly in a space that inclines, like a marble that rolls in a funnel. There are no mysterious forces generated at the center of the funnel; it is the curved nature of the walls that causes the marble to roll. Planets circle around the sun, and things fall, because space curves.

At the most fundamental level that we currently know of, therefore, there is little that resembles time as we experience it.

We see the sky turning around us every day, but we are the ones who are turning. Is the daily spectacle of a revolving universe "illusory"? No, it is real, but it doesn't involve the cosmos alone.

Newton nesnelerin uzayda hareket etti?ini, uzay?n da bo? bir kap, evren için büyük bir kutu oldu?unu hayal etmi?ti. Newton taraf?ndan icat edilen bu "uzay"?n, dünyan?n kutusunun neden yap?ld??? da belli de?ildi.

Kütle çekim alan? uzayda yay?lm?? de?ildi, çekim alan? uzay?n ta kendisiydi.

Uzay maddenin var olduÄŸu yerde eÄŸrilir.

Ama bükülen yaln?zca uzay de?ildir; zaman da bükülür. Einstein zaman?n yüksekteki bir konumda, dünyaya yak?n, daha alçak bir durumdan daha h?zl? akt???n? öngörür.

But what we see and understand of the universe is not an infinity to drown in. It is a wide sea, but a finite one.

Evrenlerin patlad???, uzay?n ç?k??? olmayan delikler içine çöktü?ü, zaman?n bir gezegene inildikçe yava?lad???, y?ld?zlararas? uzay?n uçsuz bucaks?z enginli?inin deniz yüzeyi gibi dalgaland??? renkli ve ?a??rt?c? bir dünya...

We observe the universe from within it, interacting with a minuscule portion of the innumerable variables of the cosmos. What we see is a blurred image. This blurring suggests that the dynamic of the universe with which we interact is governed by entropy, which measures the amount of blurring. It measures something that relates to us more than to the cosmos.
