Quotes About Universe

Vorstellungen sind auch ein Leben und eine Welt

Reason is the substance of the universe. The design of the world is absolutely rational.

If life, by some chance, happens to have originated, and survived, elsewhere in the universe, it will have had time to explore an unfathomable diversity of forms. Those best able to survive the passage of time, adapt to changing environments, and migrate across interstellar distances will become the most widespread. A life form that assumes digital representation, for all or part of its life cycle, will be able to travel at the speed of light.

In our universe, we measure time with clocks, and computers have a "clock speed," but the clocks that govern the digital universe are very different from the clocks that govern ours. In the digital universe, clocks exist to synchronize the translation between bits that are stored in memory (as structures in space) and bits that are communicated by code (as sequences in time). They are clocks more in the sense of regulating escapement than in the sense of measuring time.

Globular clusters!

Life evolved, so far, by making use of the viral cloud as a source of backup copies and a way to rapidly exchange genetic code. Life may be better adapted to the digital universe than we think.

Harmony is the characteristic of the intellectual system of the universe; and immutable laws of moral existence must pervade all time and all space, all ages and all worlds.

It took less than an hour to make the atoms, a few hundred million years to make the stars and planets, but five billion years to make man!

I asked him if he was leaving anyone behind. He said he'd met a girl with stardust on her robe, and when he looked into her eyes, he saw the universe looking back.

What I needed was a big fat clue. A mysterious note laying it all out. A deity popping out of thin air and explaining it to me. Hell, I'd settle for an annoying old lady with a knack for solving mysteries. I actually stopped and waited for a second to see if a clue would fall out of the sky and land at my feet. The Universe declined to oblige.

The universe is vast and we're its greatest mystery

As I moved, darkness rolled across the floor, walls, and ceiling, a menacing shadow of my power. The light dimmed. The constellations died, snuffed out by my presence. Watch me as I end your universe.

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and reverence the more often and more steadily one reflects on them, the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.

starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.

Un universo di pensieri attraversò in un secondo la mente di Lucile: 'Forse è lui?' si disse, 'che ha fatto prigioniero Gaston, Mio Dio, quanti francesi avrà ucciso? Quante lacrime saranno state versate a causa sua? é anche vero che se la guerra fosse andata diversamente oggi sarebbe Gaston a entrare da padrone in una casa tedesca. è la guerra, non è colpa di questo ragazzo.

But whatever she was I loved her and was committed to her and had always been, here and out beyond the stars, those stars behind stars behind stars which I had seen that night when I lay on the rocks and the golden sky slowly turned the universe inside out.

The pointlessness of art is not the pointlessness of a game; it is the pointlessness of human life itself, and form in art is properly the simulation of the self-contained aimlessness of the universe.
