Douglas Adams Quotes

Physics grapples with the largest questions the universe presents. 'Where did the totality of reality come from?' 'Did time have a beginning?'

The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.

If our local, observable universe is embedded in a larger structure, a multiverse, then there's other places in this larger structure that have denizens in them that call their local environs the universe. And conditions in those other places could be very different. Or they could be pretty similar to what we have here.

There was a time when 'universe' meant 'all there is.' Everything. The whole shebang. The notion of more than one universe, more than one everything, would seemingly be a contradiction in terms.

Sometimes nature guards her secrets with the unbreakable grip of physical law. Sometimes the true nature of reality beckons from just beyond the horizon.

The universe is information and we are stationary in it, not three dimensional and not in space or time.

I believe we exist in a multiverse of universes.

Heisenberg, Max Plank and Einstein, they all agreed that science could not solve the mystery of the universe.

At the same time, new concepts and abstractions flow into the picture, taking up the task of describing the universe without reference to such time or space - abstractions for which our language lacks adequate terms.

I read about eastern philosophy and religion and existentialism. All that introspective thinking got me thinking about the great beyond. That turned my sights from inwards to outwards, and I started becoming interested in the makeup of the universe, and I started reading about astronomy, planets, and galaxies.

I think my proper response is complete amazement and awe at the universe that we are in, and how it works is just far more complicated than humans will ever properly understand.

The beauty of science is to imagine more than we can prove. And string theory gives you a radically different interpretation of the universe.

I would like to uncover the secrets of the universe.

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

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.

We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.

No one knows who wrote the laws of physics or where they come from. Science is based on testable, reproducible evidence, and so far we cannot test the universe before the Big Bang.

The universe is a symphony of strings, and the mind of God that Einstein eloquently wrote about for thirty years would be cosmic music resonating through eleven-dimensional hyper space.

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

We have to wonder, if there is a multiverse, in some other patch of that multiverse are there creatures?

I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.

There may have been many big bangs, one of which created our universe. The other bangs created other universes.

The limitless content of our universe might be only one instance of a large (and possibly infinite) number of other universes.

People have contemplated the origin and evolution of the universe since before the time of Aristotle. Very recently, the era of speculation has given way to a time of science.

We need a theory that goes before the Big Bang, and that's String Theory. String Theory says that perhaps two universes collided to create our universe, or maybe our universe is butted from another universe leaving an umbilical cord. Well, that umbilical cord is called a wormhole.
