stars body atoms
The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.
atheist jesus stars
Forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.
stars healing hands
every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. and, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. it really is the most poetic thing i know about physics: you are all stardust.
jesus stars oxygen
You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.
almost amaze billion ceases coming inside nuclear reactions second travel
It never ceases to amaze me that every second of every day, more than 6,000 billion neutrinos coming from nuclear reactions inside the sun whiz through my body, almost all of which will travel right through the earth without interruption.
classical govern issues understanding
When it comes to the real operational issues that govern our understanding of physical reality, ontological definitions of classical philosophers are, in my opinion, sterile.
aside felt human research universal
I have always felt that, aside from research that violates universal human mores, when it comes to technological applications, that which can be done will be done.
definition design modern science scientist subject time waste
By no definition of any modern scientist is intelligent design science, and it's a waste of our students' time to subject them to it.
almost billion built defense easily exposure life mechanisms mutations survived
Life has survived for more than three billion years because it is robust, and almost no mutations can easily outwit the defense mechanisms built up through eons of exposure to potential pathogens.
areas became carefully continued field natural physics resentment time
Philosophy used to be a field that had content, but then 'natural philosophy' became physics, and physics has only continued to make inroads. Every time there's a leap in physics, it encroaches on these areas that philosophers have carefully sequestered away to themselves, and so then you have this natural resentment on the part of philosophers.
approve argue beings choose human individual might moral rationally subject
One might rationally argue that individual human beings should be free choose what moral behavior they approve of, and which they don't, subject to the constraints of the law.
best knowledge reflect
To me, what philosophy does best is reflect on knowledge that's generated in other areas.
explained extent imply massive number physics possible predict saying string universes
To the extent that we even understand string theory, it may imply a massive number of possible different universes with different laws of physics in each universe, and there may be no way of distinguishing between them or saying why the laws of physics are the way they are. And if I can predict anything, then I haven't explained anything.
belief certain future guide help keeps peaceful reason science ultimately
I don't know if science and reason will ultimately help guide humanity to a better and more peaceful future, but I am certain that this belief is part of what keeps the 'Star Trek' fandom going.
