“If black holes were 3d then we would have been able to spot the back end of one, but since we haven't located a back door to one, then it must mean that it is 2d in appearance, which then means there must be another dimension or physics at work in there that we don't know about.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“It would be ignorant to assume life is entirely exclusive to Earth.”
― Torron-Lee Dewar

“Take for example the most famous scientific equation of all time, E=mc2, where 'c' denotes the speed of light, 'E' equals energy, and 'm' equals mass. If time is different or not existent in the quantum world or the event horizon of a black hole, then speed must also be different because speed is a measure of the rate in which time passes when an object travels over a distance between two points. Hypothetically, if time doesn't exist in these places, either E=m alone or the whole equation no longer applies.  ”
― Vera Percepio, The Philosophy of Vera Percepio

“Run a layer of skin smoothening on a picture,
And it enhances the quality of the picture.
Run the smoothening more than is necessary,
And you ruin the very life of the picture.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Her Insan Ailem: Everyone is Family, Everywhere is Home

“Run a layer of skin smoothening on a picture,
And it enhances the quality of the picture.
Run the smoothening more than is necessary,
And you ruin the very life of the picture.

Likewise, logical thinking in moderation,
Enhances the quality of life.
But practice logic beyond proportion,
And you ruin the sweetness of life.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Her Insan Ailem: Everyone is Family, Everywhere is Home

“I Am A Scientist (Sonnet 1026)

You may believe in psychics,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in astrology,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in tarot and reiki,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in energy healing,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in angels and spirits,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in life after death,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
So long as you don't practice hate,
I stand here with my hand stretched out.
Will you hold it despite differences,
Or do you hate me for voicing reason out loud!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Her Insan Ailem: Everyone is Family, Everywhere is Home

“You create many [dinosaurs] in a very short time, never learn anything about them, yet you expect them to do your bidding, because you made them and you therefore think you own them; you forget that they are alive, they have an intelligence of their own, and they may not do your bidding, and you forget how little you know about them....”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

“A karate master does not kill people with his bare hands. He does not lose his temper and kill his wife. The person who kills is the person who has no discipline, no restraint, and who has purchased his power in the form of a Saturday night special. And that is the kind of power that science fosters, and permits....”
― Michael Crichton

“....Largely through science, billions of us live in one small world, densely packed and intercommunicating. But science cannot help us decide what to do with that world, or how to live. Science can make a nuclear reactor, but it cannot tell us not to use it. And our world starts to seem polluted in fundamental ways--air, and water, and land--because of ungovernable science.”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

“The I.S.L.E. ISt inna LikE: Kit Inna kiT, Keep Inna seT Keys Inna lisT”
― Jonathan Roy Mckinney

“Are you for real? I was asked this question at a recent physics conference after my brief dissertation on the origin- and purpose of motion. The answer is simply this. We are all the same real. It is just that it isn't really good to be alone which is why we, the real, are here.”
― Wald Wassermann

“All is always in motion but if we remain grounded in the realization that the purpose of motion is love than we are not as easily disturbed.”
― Wald Wassermann

“There is only one theory and only one theoretical purpose.”
― Wald Wassermann

“If we intend to purely think our way to God, the more likely result is crippling skepticism. As Kierkegaard pointed out, “When thinking turns toward itself in order to think about itself, there emerges, as we know, a skepticism.” If we privilege the head over the heart in all matters of inquiry, we may very well cut ourselves off from that which is intellectually unknowable. The rational mind is capable of amazing accomplishments, but it is not an organ suitable for experiencing God.”
― Brian Zahnd, When Everything's on Fire: Faith Forged from the Ashes

“In practice, the line between automatic, automated, and autonomous systems is still blurry. Often, the term “autonomous” is used to refer to future systems that have not yet been built, but once they do exist, people describe those same systems as “automated.” This is similar to a trend in artificial intelligence where AI is often perceived to encompass only tasks that machines cannot yet do. Once a machine conquers a task, then it is merely “software.”
― Paul Scharre, Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War

“Why is man so worried about Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)? Because he is afraid that it may turn out to be more like him than he realizes.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“Not that I subscribe to the utilitarian view that plants are only good for what we can get out of them—it should be enough to add another beautiful (or even plain) item to nature’s inventory. We need to know what there is in the world for us to look after, regardless of its potential use.”
― Richard Fortey, Dry Store Room No. 1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum

“I have always thought that the most sacred duty of men was to give their children an education that would prevent them, when they were older, from regretting their youth, which is the only time when one can truly get an education; you, my dear son, have now arrived at this happy age when the mind begins to think, and when the heart isn't yet subject to those intense emotions that will later come to disturb it.”
― Gabrielle-Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil du Châtelet, Reason, Illusion, and Passion: Philosophical Works

“Let's think a little about why, after so many centuries, never ahs a good tragedy, a good poem, a respected history, a good painting, a good book on physical science come from the hands of women? Why should these creatures, whose understanding seems so completely similar to men, seem however to be kept behind the barrier by an invincible power? Tell me if you can.”
― Gabrielle-Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil du Châtelet, Reason, Illusion, and Passion: Philosophical Works

“Making a human always takes the same three ingredients— an egg cell, a sperm cell, and a uterus. But just how the ingredients come together is a fascinating tale.”
― Rachel HS Ginocchio

“Breaking free of our desire for consistency and certainty is not always easy to do-and that goes for anyone, so it's helpful to break things down. Shake off your sense of surety. It may be uncomfortable at first, but you will adjust and actually find yourself more uncomfortable with those who profess certainty at all times. Listen to the views and argument of the other side with patience. Ask questions. Take time to find and understand evidence from reliable sources. Be wary of certainty, but let those who are open about the (and better yet, quantity) their uncertainties earn your confidence. Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd." Voltaire once said. And remember: if you are wrong be brave, be noble and admit it-and value others who have courage and integrity to do the same.”
― Jim Al-Khalili
