The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement


 


The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth


 


Niels Bohr


Who knew Earth wasn’t in the center of the universe


before 1514?


Who knew of dinosaurs


before 1855?


 


Did anyone know of other galaxies


before 1923?


Who knew there were trillions


of more than 2,000 species of microorganisms living in the human body before 2008?


 


When what lives dies and/or matter disintegrates


does what was become part of something else?


 


Every atom you possess has almost certainly passed through several stars


and been part of millions of organisms on its way to becoming you


 


Bill Bryson


 


If something started everything and everything’s the same only different


is everything everything?


 


If there was, is, and will be only so much stuff


how old are you?


If what is, is until it’s not


is non-sentiency more probable than sentiency?


 


Could there be other universes with sentient life


inside this one?
