Chris Evans Quotes

I liked the idea of all of humanity fitting inside a sugar cube because more than 99.9% of matter is space.

From a scientific point of view, our mission is to seek answers to the fundamental questions about the universe. Many are open - we don't know about dark matter, which accounts for a quarter of the universe's matter, nor do we know why there's antimatter.

The Big Bang theory says nothing about what banged, why it banged, or what happened before it banged.

There is neither spirit nor matter in the world. The stuff of the universe is spirit-matter. No other substance but this could have produced the human molecule.

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

Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly of nothing.

And what we know, or think we know, about the universe of space and time is changing very quickly.

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.

We know there must be new physics. For example, we cannot explain what dark matter is.

In the beginning, there was silence. And out of the silence came the sound. The sound is not here.

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

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.

The abstract analysis of the world by mathematics and physics rests on the concepts of space and time.

All phenomena are empty.

It's everywhere, really. It's between the galaxies. It is in this room. We believe that everywhere that you have space, empty space, that you cannot avoid having some of this dark energy.

About the 50th hour, I was going to start thinking about the edge of the universe. Is there an edge? Is this an envelope we're living inside of, or no, does it go onto infinity in both time and space? And there's nothing like swimming for 50 hours in the ocean that gets you thinking about things like this.

Philosophically, the universe has really never made things in ones. The Earth is special and everything else is different? No, we've got seven other planets. The sun? No, the sun is one of those dots in the night sky. The Milky Way? No, it's one of a hundred billion galaxies. And the universe - maybe it's countless other universes.

Dark energy is incredibly strange, but actually it makes sense to me that it went unnoticed, because dark energy has no effect on daily life, or even inside our solar system.

One of the most exciting things about dark energy is that it seems to live at the very nexus of two of our most successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics, which explains the physics of the small, and Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which explains the physics of the large, including gravity.

The mind of man has perplexed itself with many hard questions. Is space infinite, and in what sense? Is the material world infinite in extent, and are all places within that extent equally full of matter? Do atoms exist or is matter infinitely divisible?

I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.

The stars are matter, we're matter, but it doesn't matter.

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.

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.
