Graham Hancock Quotes

There are plenty of things that are unknown, but are assumed reasonably to exist, even in the most basic sciences. Maybe 90 percent of the mass-energy in the universe is called "dark," because nobody knows what it is.

I wouldn't say that 'The Fabric of the Cosmos' is a book on cosmology. Cosmology certainly plays a big part, but the major theme is our ever-evolving understanding of space and time, and what it all means for our sense of reality.

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 black holes of nature are the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time.

Nothing puzzles me more than the time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less.

Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality.

You know, dark matter matters.

The universe is illusion merely, not one speck of it real, and we are not only its victims, falling always into or smashed by a planet slung by the sun-but also its captives, bound by the mineral-made ropes of our senses.

The entire world we apprehend through our senses is no more than a tiny fragment in the vastness of Nature.

The universe is real, but you can't see it. You have to imagine it.

The force fields of nature are force fields of consciousness. They are force fields of knowledge.

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.

I'd like to be invisible. To be anonymous and see things for what they really are. The truth may be painful but it's probably useful!

It's surprising that the world is understandable to the extent that it is.

At times I felt that the universe fabricated from the power of the imagination had stronger and more lasting contours than the blurred realm of the flesh-and-blood creatures around me.

Is all our Life, then but a dream Seen faintly in the golden gleam Athwart Time's dark resistless stream?

What is nonsense, and what is not, then, may be merely a matter of perspective.

The truth is that the universe has been answering you all of your life, but you cannot receive the answers unless you are awake.

We're making it up. The world, the universe, life, reality. Especially reality.

I've learned to write the truth. But to do that, I had to figure out what the truth was-and I had to realize that the truth isn't always the same for everyone. I had to realize that my truth may not be the same as your truth.

The electron is first of all your concept of the electron.

Reality has been around since long before you showed up. Don't go calling it nasty names like 'bizarre' or 'incredible'. The universe was propagating complex amplitudes through configuration space for ten billion years before life ever emerged on Earth. Quantum physics is not 'weird'. You are weird.

We seem to invest so much time and belief that those things are stable in some way - something to build towards, or something to use to better understand where we come from. So often those expectations are just so out of line with how the universe works. I don't see it as a productive way of seeing the world, so, when I deal with that stuff formally - or when I try to allow it to inspire me - I'm open to it twisting itself up.

'Tis certain that our senses are extremely disproportioned for comprehending the whole compass and latitude of things.

Solipsism may be logically consistent with present Quantum Mechanics, Monism in the sense of Materialism is not.
