Quotes About Cosmic

As Huxley wrote to Osmond in its aftermath, "What came through the closed door was the realization . . . the direct, total awareness, from the inside, so to say, of Love as the primary and fundamental cosmic fact." The force of this insight seemed almost to embarrass the writer in its baldness: "The words, of course, have a kind of indecency and must necessarily ring false, seem like twaddle. But the fact remains.

Even the littlest minds, sunk in petty pride of self, are susceptible to chords struck on the cosmic scale.

My own emotional feeling is that life has a purpose—ultimately, I'd guess that the purpose it has is the purpose that we've given it and not a purpose that came out of any cosmic design.

Scientists have, in fact, assembled long lists of scores of such "happy cosmic accidents." When faced with this imposing list, it's shocking to find how many of the familiar constants of the universe lie within a very narrow band that makes life possible. If a single one of these accidents were altered, stars would never form, the universe would fly apart, DNA would not exist, life as we know it would be impossible, Earth would flip over or freeze, and so on.

Bertrand Russell once lamented "that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought or feeling, can preserve a life beyond the grave; that all the labors of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system; and the whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins…

Fifth is Q, the amplitude of the irregularities in the cosmic microwave background, which equals 10

El agua, a su vez, se puede descomponer en oxígeno e hidrógeno (que son los principales elementos del combustible para cohetes). Esto podría convertir la Luna en una gasolinera cósmica.

This means that subatomic particles are just like musical notes. The universe is a symphony of strings, physics represents the harmonies of these notes, and the "mind of God" that Einstein chased after for so many decades is cosmic music resonating through hyperspace.

The universe is a symphony of strings. And the Mind of God, which Einstein wrote eloquently about, is cosmic music resonating throughout hyperspace.

Christianity has impoverished us because it has cut the cosmic roots of the tragedy, of man's celestial history. We weren't born 6,000 years ago, but hundreds of thousands of years ago. We do not come from this Earth, we have our ancestral origins in other stars.

When the history of the earth enters a very critical period, as at present, the myths, gods and demons that direct us, the Archetypes, come to take an even more active part, becoming almost visible to many. They participate directly in the combat, as happened in the last world war, of cosmic resonance.

A bond between souls is ancient - older than the planet.

they are beyond each other's cosmic horizon.

In the Inflationary Multiverse, our universe could well be an island oasis in a gigantic but largely inhospitable cosmic archipelago.

by the time the universe was a couple of minutes old, it was filled with a nearly uniform hot gas composed of roughly 75 percent hydrogen, 23 percent helium, and small amounts of deuterium and lithium. The essential point is that this gas filling the universe had extraordinarily low entropy. The big bang started the universe off in a state of low entropy, and that state appears to be the source of the order we currently see. In other words, the current order is a cosmological relic.

Just as important, the energy released by the inflaton field isn't lost-instead, like a cooling vat of steam condensing into water droplets, the inflaton's energy condenses into a uniform bath of particles that fill space. This two-step process-brief but rapid expansion, followed by energy conversion to particles-results in a huge, uniform spatial expanse that's filled with the raw material of familiar structures like stars and galaxies.

If superstring theory is proven correct, we will be forced to accept that the reality we have known is but a delicate chiffon draped over a thick and richly textured cosmic fabric.

The big bang is a theory, partly described in the last two chapters, that delineates cosmic evolution from a split second after whatever happened to bring the universe into existence, but it says nothing at all about time zero itself.

In every collection of 10^10^122 cosmic patches, we thus expect there to be, on average, one patch that looks just like ours. That is, in every region of space that's roughly 10^10^122 meters across, there should be a cosmic patch that replicates ours-one that contains you, the earth, the galaxy, and everything else that inhabits our cosmic horizon.

General relativity provides the choreography for an entwined cosmic dance of space, time, matter, and energy.

It is often easier for us to destroy each other than it is to resolve our differences. Such is the cosmic joke of human nature!

But the dream of creational dancing in respectful harmony has devolved into the disrespectful and destructive nightmare of ecological devastation. And we know that this nightmare has everything to do with one particular dancer in the cosmic ballet. Humans. When creation dreams become ecological nightmares, it is invariably the human creature who is at the heart of it all. So

And the two heavenly bodies danced around their star...

It was out of the dynamic of cosmic celebration that we were created in the first place. We are to become celebration and generosity, burst into self-awareness. What is the human? The human is a space, an opening, where the universe celebrates its existence.
