Quotes About Space

Loss of resilience can come as a surprise, because the system usually is paying much more attention to its play than to its playing space.
~ Donella H. Meadows
I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.
~ Donna Karan
If the Universe came to an end every time there was some uncertainty about what had happened in it, it would never have got beyond the first picosecond. And many of course don't. It's like a human body, you see. A few cuts and bruises here and there don't hurt it. Not even major surgery if it's done properly. Paradoxes are just the scar tissue. Time and space heal themselves up around them and people simply remember a version of events which makes as much sense as they require it to make.
~ Douglas Adams
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
~ Douglas Adams
Arthur: If I asked you where the hell we were, would I regret it? Ford: We're safe. Arthur: Oh good. Ford: We're in a small galley cabin in one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet. Arthur: Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of.
~ Douglas Adams
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.

~ Douglas Adams
You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen.
~ Douglas Adams
All objects moved through space-time at the exact same rate.
~ Douglas E. Richards
Emerging Possibilities for Space Propulsion Breakthroughs, and it had first appeared in a NASA publication, Interstellar Propulsion Society Newsletter, in July of 1995.
~ Douglas E. Richards
Richard Feynman showed that anti-matter is identical, mathematically, to ordinary matter traveling backward in time. He
~ Douglas E. Richards
Telepathy must somehow travel through four dimensions, so the signal can remain strong, taking a shortcut through vast 3D distances.
~ Douglas E. Richards
I'm told it's a stunning advance in the mathematics and physics of the Calabi-Yau manifold. I had no idea what this was. But my science people tell me it's a six-dimensional space that results when the ten dimensions of superstring theory are rolled up.
~ Douglas E. Richards
When you're moving at the speed of light through space, you stop moving through time. It stops completely. It turns out that your speed through space, combined with your speed through time, always adds up to the speed of light.
~ Douglas E. Richards
four years to reach the nearest star.
~ Douglas E. Richards
translating if you will, so that you perceive this room in the usual three dimensions.
~ Douglas E. Richards
It turns out that while objects can move through space and time at different rates, they all move through space-time at exactly the same rate: the speed of light. Always.
~ Douglas E. Richards
Through space-time, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. When you're not moving at all in space, you're moving at the speed of light, so to speak, through time—the fastest the universe allows you to do so. When you're moving at the speed of light through space, you stop moving through time.
~ Douglas E. Richards
If we lost all the dead space inside our atoms, we would each be able to fit into a particle of dust, and the entire human race would fit into the volume of a sugar cube.
~ Douglas E. Richards
Time moves at a different rate for our GPS satellites in orbit than it does down here. Einstein's equations correct for this discrepancy. Perfectly. This really is how the universe works.
~ Douglas E. Richards
Major Tom. Shouldn't you be calling ground control or something?
~ Douglas E. Richards
Let's go on to postulate this infinite consciousness exists outside of space and time. In a way that is well beyond our possible comprehension. As you suggest, for want of a better word, let's call this infinite consciousness, God. I like that this God is postulated as being beyond space and time. Independent of space and time. If he weren't, then he would require a creator." Alyssa
~ Douglas E. Richards
Dark energy can be tapped into, and all of this crazy energy can be bottled and used after all. But only by using it at right angles to the four dimensions of space and time. By driving the energy usage through a fifth dimension. My
~ Douglas E. Richards
Because there is no meaning to be found in the arbitrary nature of things., It's all random. Just as space is blue. And birds fly through it.
~ Douglas Kennedy
