The most watched programme on the BBC after the news is probably 'Doctor Who.' What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.
Traditional science assumes for the most part that an objective observer independent reality exists the universe stars galaxies sun moon and earth would still be there if no one was looking.
Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.
The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations directly in the abstract.
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles he can only discover them.
If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us that we are the reason there is a Universe does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?
There was no 'before' the beginning of our universe because once upon a time there was no time.
Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light they say forgetful of the shadow's speed.
Only two things are infinite the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former.
Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race religion or political views that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.
Joy in the universe and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion.
To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself with your brother man with nature with the universe.
The most important thing for me is having a relationship with God. To know that the owner the creator of the universe loves you sent His Son to die for your sins that's very empowering. Knowing Him and knowing that He loves me gives me encouragement and confidence to move forward.
What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me.
Master of the universe but not of myself I am the only rebel against my absolute power.
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
There must be a positive and negative in everything in the universe in order to complete a circuit or circle without which there would be no activity no motion.
When you're looking that far out you're giving people their place in the universe it touches people. Science is often visual so it doesn't need translation. It's like poetry it touches you.
Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.
Living here on Earth we breathe the rhythms of a universe that extends infinitely above us. When resonant harmonies arise between this vast outer cosmos and the inner human cosmos poetry is born.
A mind at peace a mind centered and not focused on harming others is stronger than any physical force in the universe.
My wife is the most awesome person in the universe. She's made this experience much less miserable for me with her compassion patience and understanding.
Quantum computation is... a distinctively new way of harnessing nature... It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes.
