Fabiola Gianotti Quotes

I think the mystery of what's out there in the universe is just very compelling.

We are discovering what the universe is really like, and it is totally magnificent, and one can only be inspired and awestruck by what we find.

You go, dark energy! Go on, dark matter. They don't understand you, dark matter. They don't get you.

You know, dark matter matters.

It bears mentioning that the Milky Way is only one of 150 billion galaxies visible to our telescopes - and each of these will have its own complement of planets.

I've always been fascinated by physics and cosmology. It gets more and more scary the older you get.

Dark matter is interesting. Basically, the universe is heavier than it should be. There's whole swathes of stuff we can't account for.

I am very interested in the Universe - I am specialising in the Universe and all that surrounds it.

While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me.

The universe is a great mystery.

Now, what space ultimately is - I should confess, I think most physicists believe - we don't yet know.

Dark energy is perhaps the biggest mystery in physics.

In a spiral galaxy, the ratio of dark-to-light matter is about a factor of ten. That's probably a good number for the ratio of our ignorance to knowledge. We're out of kindergarten, but only in about third grade.

What really made me think about space and begin to think about ways to use it was Einstein's statement that there are no fixed points in space. Everything in the universe is moving all the time.

I'm a person who's very interested in science and the universe and quantum physics and astrophysics.

I'm a cosmologist. All I do is cosmology.

We still don't know what about 96 per cent of the universe is made of. It is dark matter and dark energy, but we have no idea what it is.

Space is a laboratory, an experiment in all forms of all things, an infinity of possibilities, properties, and places that cry out for investigation and exploration.

I am deeply impressed with the way dark matter has explained cosmological observations.

The Hubble Space Telescope is more than remarkable. It has answered just so many of those fundamental questions that people have been asking about the cosmos since people were able to ask questions.

There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe.

As an astrophysicist, my research work involves mapping dark matter, the elusive substance that accounts for about a quarter of our universe.

It is an embarrassment that the dominant forms of matter in the universe remain hypothetical.

85 percent of the gravity of the universe has a point of origin about which we know nothing.

Dark matter has a gravitation effect on other objects. You can't see it, you can't feel it, but you can watch something being pulled in its direction.
