"Ive always felt that copious use of the word something allows anyone to solve any problem, even insoluble ones."
"Cornelia would not be altogether surprised if she saw the grazing cow start tap dancing, lap dancing, or whatever quantum gravity might cause cows to do."
"The game of science can accurately be described as a never-ending insult to human intelligence."
"For instance, the blood of hibernating arctic squirrels may supercool to minus 3 degrees, when it would normally congeal. The supercooled blood still flows, since it remains a liquid, but the slightest disturbance will cause it to freeze, killing the squirrel; therefore, you should not disturb hibernating arctic squirrels."
"Ever since then, the place has accommodated people with the necessary level of imbalance required to come up with new ideas."
"And indeed, if VSL is correct, black holes may have very different properties than we thought. Collapsing stars could have a totally different demise and die a rather eccentric death."
