“Simplicity is a matter of taste”

“It matters if you just don't give up.”

“To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.”

“We find ourselves in a bewildering world. We want to make sense of what we see around us and to ask: What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?”

“Cuando miramos al universo, lo vemos tal como fue en el pasado”

“В 1277 году парижским епископом Темпьером, действующим по указанию Папы Иоанна XXI, был опубликован список 219 ошибок или ересей, которые считались неприемлемыми. В числе ересей, как вступающая в противоречие с идеей всемогущества Бога, находилась и гипотеза о природе, подчиняющейся законам. Интересно, что Папа Иоанн пал жертвой закона гравитации несколькими месяцами спустя, когда крыша его дворца обрушилась на него.”

“In the eighteenth century, philosophers considered the whole of human knowledge, including science, to be their field and discussed questions such as: Did the universe have a beginning? However, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, science became too technical and mathematical for the philosophers, or anyone else except a few specialists. Philosophers reduced the scope of their inquiries so much that Wittgenstein, the most famous philosopher of this century, said, "The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language." What a comedown from the great tradition of philosophy from Aristotle to Kant!”
