“This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.”

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

- Frank Herbert (via talkativolive)

“When you’re a kid you’re born a scientist. What does a scientist do? We look up and say “I wonder what that is? Let me go find out”. Let me poke it… let me break it, let me turn it around. This is what kids do. You can’t leave a kid alone for a minute without them laying waste to your house! Because they’re grabbing stuff off the shelves, so what do we do? We prevent that. We prevent these depths of curiosity from revealing themselves.”

- Neil deGrasse Tyson on American children lagging behind in physics, math and general science. (via 14-billion-years-later)

“Inside a black hole, gravity distorts the structure of spacetime so severely that the directions of space and time become interchanged. In a sense, inside a black hole you acquire a limited ability to affect the passage of time. This seeming gain does you no good, however, because you lose a corresponding amount of freedom to move through space. Whether you like it or not, you will be dragged inexorably from the event horizon toward the singularity. Just as no force in the universe can prevent the forward march of time from past to future outside a black hole, no force in the universe can prevent the inward march of space from event horizon to singularity inside a black hole. Once an object dropped into a black hole crosses the event horizon, it is gone forever, like an object dropped into a bottomless pit.”
