A Reminder, In Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban There Is A Wizard Reading ‘A Brief History

“Relativity and quantum mechanics taught us the Universe makes sense when it doesn’t.”

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.” ~ Stephen Hawking (1942 - 2018)

“The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth. 

How I’m rushing through this! How much each sentence in this brief story contains. “The stars are made of the same atoms as the earth.” 

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars—mere globs of gas atoms. Nothing is “mere.” I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination—stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch one-million-year-old light. A vast pattern—of which I am a part—perhaps my stuff was belched from some forgotten star, as one is belching there. 

Or see them with the greater eye of Palomar, rushing all apart from some common starting point when they were perhaps all together. 

What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined! Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were like a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?”

- Richard Feynman

“Science is the poetry of reality.”

— Richard Dawkins

I hate asking this question… but how are they going to deal with Stephen Hawking’s death on The Big Bang Theory?

When you try to dance like your bias

However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.

Stephen Hawking

Things didn’t go as planned…
