You're telling me that CERN dug out millions of tons of earth just to smash tiny particles?" Kohler shrugged. "Sometimes to find truth, one must move mountains.

enthralling and clearly incendiary, but for Langdon it raised one burning question that he was surprised nobody was asking: If the laws of physics are so powerful that they can create life…who created the laws?! The question, of course, resulted

I believe life not only obeys the laws of physics, but that life began because of those laws.

Hell, no. A church is the one thing we don't have. Physics is the religion around here. Use the Lord's name in vain all you like,' he laughed, 'just don't slander any quarks or mesons.

De unde venim? Adev?rul e c? venim de nic?ieri... È™i de pretutindeni. ApariÈ›ia noastr? se datoreaz? aceloraÈ™i legi ale fizicii care au creat viaÈ›a în întregul univers.

Planck time and Planck length," I said. "I don't remember exactly—something about combining the three fundamental constants of physics—gravity, Planck's constant, and the speed of light. I remember it gave some tiny little units of length and time.

The journey's end is to understand what it means—and how—to bring intelligence to emotion. This understanding itself can help to some degree; bringing cognizance to the realm of feeling has an effect something like the impact of an observer at the quantum level in physics, altering what is being observed.

Newtonian physics runs into problems at the subatomic level. Down there--in the land of hadrons, quarks, and Schrödinger's cat--things gent freaky. The cool rationality of Isaac Newton gives way to the bizarre unpredictability of Lewis Carroll.

Newton's achievement was not in discovering the phenomenon of gravity, it was in formulating the phenomenon as a law.
