Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.
I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.
I like science - geography, meteorology, cosmology.
Buddhism doesn't come from anybody. It exists by itself.
There is in the universe neither center nor circumference.
We need a new cosmology. New gods. New sacraments. Another drink.
I would suggest that science is, at least in my part, informed worship.
The missing link in cosmology is the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
I personally don't subscribe to any particular cosmology or beleif system. I'm a seer.
In my cosmology, indigenous wild deer are more important than exotic ornamental shrubs.
In the cosmology that's behind psychology, there is no reason for anyone to be here or do anything.
I've always been fascinated by physics and cosmology. It gets more and more scary the older you get.
L.A. streets aren't just paved real estate but a cosmology, a manifestation of the city's sensibility.
Some tried to kill him; there were assassination attempts. Some hated him ... this is par for the course.
One of the great challenges of modern cosmology is to discover what the geometry of the universe really is.
The idea of combining the physics of modern particle theory with cosmology was very young when I started working on cosmology.
The pace and demands in any field, be it genetics, nanotechnology or cosmology, can only be met with increased international cooperation and collaborative projects.
I am a professor of astronomy and physics at Yale University, where I teach an introductory class in cosmology. I see the deficiencies that first-year students show up with.
Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities.
The scientific-rational mindset is as much a cosmology as the Catholic mindset was in the Middle Ages; scientists are so proud of their mindset and convinced that it's the only reality. I find that worrying.
General relativity is the cornerstone of cosmology and astrophysics. It has also provided the conceptual basis for string theory and other attempts to unify all the forces of nature in terms of geometrical structures.
The realization that baryonic matter is only a trace component of the universe revealed our understanding of the cosmos as shockingly incomplete and was one of the milestones that ushered in the era of modern cosmology.
Indeed, the history of 20th century physics was in large measure about how to avoid the infinities that crop up in particle theory and cosmology. The idea of point particles is convenient but leads to profound, puzzling troubles.
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.
For me, science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance.
I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science.
All at once, funding was gone due to the Mansfield Amendment, which was a reaction to the Vietnam War. In the minds of the local RLE administrators, research in gravitation and cosmology was not in the military's interest, and support was given to solid-state physics, which was deemed more relevant.
Religion is part of the human make-up. It's also part of our cultural and intellectual history. Religion was our first attempt at literature, the texts, our first attempt at cosmology, making sense of where we are in the universe, our first attempt at health care, believing in faith healing, our first attempt at philosophy.
