Quotes About Universe

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…

If we are right, big bangs are taking place even as you read this sentence.

Einstein's Cosmos

Aquí, estamos reorganizando las partículas de nuestras ecuaciones de manera que los fermiones se intercambian por bosones, y viceversa. Esto se convierte en el punto central de la teoría de cuerdas, así que todas las partículas del universo se pueden sustituir unas por otras.

Olaf Stapledon's classic work of science fiction, Star Maker:

Así, la unificación de las leyes de la mecánica cuántica no solo revelaba los secretos del universo, sino que también unificaba el árbol de la vida.

hurtling in all directions; he preferred the smooth creation of mass out of nothing. In other words, the universe was timeless. It had no end, nor a beginning. It just was.

las leyes de la física admiten la posibilidad de abrir un agujero en el espacio concentrando suficiente energía en un punto, hasta que accedemos al espacio-tiempo espumoso y emergen agujeros de gusano que conectan nuestro universo con un universo bebé.

la conciencia podría ser la base fundamental de toda la realidad.

there were two types of cosmologies in religion, the first based on a single moment when God created the universe, the second based on the idea that the universe always was and always will be. They

Cuando le enseñaron a la esposa de Einstein el colosal observatorio y le dijeron que el telescopio estaba determinando la forma definitiva del universo, ésta respondió sin inmutarse: «Mi marido lo hace en el reverso de un sobre usado».

Third is Omega, the relative density of the universe. If Omega were too small, then the universe would have expanded and cooled too fast.

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

We have not yet figured out why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. Only one ten-billionth of the original matter in the early universe survived this explosion, and we are part of it. The leading theory is that something violated the perfect symmetry between matter and antimatter at the Big Bang, but we don't know what it is. There is a Nobel Prize waiting for the enterprising individual who can solve this problem.

El contacto con otros universos cuánticos que no estén en coherencia con nosotros parece bastante improbable.

La cuestión es que nadie sabe cómo calcular la «energía de la nada». Esta es una de las preguntas más importantes en física (porque finalmente determinará el destino del universo)

En realidad, para crear un universo como el nuestro puede necesitarse una cantidad neta absurdamente pequeña de materia, quizá baste con 30 gramos.

Los dos mayores misterios de la naturaleza son la mente y el universo.

A stable wormhole is therefore a balancing act, and the key is to maintain the right mixture of positive and negative energy. You need lots of positive energy to naturally create the gateway between universes, as with a black hole. But you also need to create negative matter or energy artificially to keep the gateway open and prevent a collapse.

In the beginning God said, the four-dimensional divergence of an antisymmetric, second rank tensor equals zero, and there was light, and it was good. And on the seventh day he rested.

Thanks to the Human Connectome Project, which will map every neuron in the human brain, one day we may be able to send our connectomes into outer space on giant laser beams, eliminating a number of problems in interstellar travel. I call this laser porting, and it may free our consciousness to explore the galaxy or even the universe at the speed of light, so we don't have to worry about the obvious dangers of interstellar travel.

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.

If the universe is dense enough, then there is enough matter and gravity to attract the distant galaxies and reverse the expansion, so that the Big Crunch becomes a realistic possibility. If the universe lacks sufficient mass, then there is not enough gravity to reverse the expansion and the universe goes into a Big Freeze. The critical density separating these two scenarios is roughly six hydrogen atoms per cubic meter.
