Quotes About Cosmology

For the modern physicist, reality is the whole thing, past and future joined in a single history. The sensation of now is just that, a sensation, and different for everyone. Instead of one master clock, we have clocks in multitudes.

Apparently, some physicists argue that time is curved. I suppose this means that the past is in some way still present.

Dark energy is perhaps the biggest mystery in physics.

I've always been fascinated by physics and cosmology. It gets more and more scary the older you get.

The main reason why people should care about research in fundamental physics is the same reason they care about astronomy and cosmology. People, children, want to know what we're made out of, how it works, and why the universe is the way it is.

A big misconception is that a black hole is made of matter that has just been compacted to a very small size. That's not true. A black hole is made from warped space and time.

My passion is to understand the non-linear dynamics of warped space-time, and the ideal venue for this is black-hole collisions.

A day of Brahma's has 14 Indras, his life 54,000 Indras. One day of Vishnu is the lifetime of Brahma. One day of Siva is the lifetime of Vishnu…

The age of the universe is not just 'a guess', but rather it is a carefully measured number that is now known to a high degree of accuracy.

I like reading about the astronomical and celestial world a lot.

Like mathematics and music and cosmology and philosophy, poetry, too, can "infinitize" us, granting us what immortality there is to be had in this mortal life. And all those who vibrate in harmony to language that itself vibrates to the harmonies of the infinite are entitled to inclusion among the "small group of people.

Shoket: ... You've got physics and cosmology closing in on the age-old problem of why there's something rather than nothing—that's one you philosophers, not to speak of theologians, have been chewing over a while. With we neuroscientists explaining consciousness, free will, and morality, what's left for the philosophers to ponder? Plato: Perhaps self-deception?

If the history-deniers who doubt the fact of evolution are ignorant of biology, those who think the world began less than ten thousand years ago are worse than ignorant, they are deluded to the point of perversity. They are denying not only the facts of biology but those of physics, geology, cosmology, archaeology, history and chemistry as well.

Smolin's idea, expounded in The Life of the Cosmos, hinges

Hard-nosed physicists say that the six knobs were never free to vary in the first place. When we finally reach the long-hoped-for Theory of Everything, we shall see that the six key numbers depend upon each other, or on something else as yet unknown, in ways that we today cannot imagine. The six numbers may turn out to be no freer to vary than is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It will turn out that there is only one way for a universe to be.

So multiverse or not, we still have to come to terms with the origin of the laws of nature. And the only viable explanation here is the divine Mind.

If the universe had a beginning, its beginning, by the very condition of the cases, was supernatural; the laws of Nature cannot account for their own origin.

God is a philosophical black hole-the point where reason breaks down.

His second cycle of teachings discusses the cosmology of the universes. But in his later years, he wrote the tantric texts.

Ask a physics teacher: Why do elementary particles exist? Is it impossible for them not to exist? (Be prepared for the possibility that your physics teacher doesn't want to have this conversation.)

G. W. Leibniz, codiscoverer of calculus and a towering intellect of eighteenth-century Europe, wrote: "The first question which should rightly be asked is: Why is there something rather than nothing?"[1] In other words, why does anything at all exist? This, for Leibniz, is the most basic question that anyone can ask. Like me, Leibniz came to the conclusion that the answer is to be found, not in the universe of created things, but in God. God

The first question which should rightly be asked is: Why is there something rather than nothing?

William Lane Craig

Whatever begins to exist has a cause; the universe began to exist; therefore, the universe has a cause"). Second
