Prophets hold a key to the lock in a language. The mechanical image re — Universe

"I will shred this Universe down to its last atom, and then with the stones you have collected for me, create a new one; teaming with life, that knows not what it has lost but only what it has been given... A Grateful Universe."

"Mans need of self-esteem entails the need for a sense of control over reality – but no control is possible in a universe which, by ones own concession, contains the supernatural, the miraculous and the causeless, a universe in which one is at the mercy of ghosts and demons, in which one must deal, not with the unknown, but with the unknowable; no control is possible if man proposes, but a ghost disposes; no control is possible if the universe is a haunted house."

"With the cosmological term, Einstein had given other researchers an intriguing new variable to play with and manipulate in an attempt to fit their s with the new ideas they were considering and with the observations that were starting to be made. It also opened the door for theorists to experiment with the equations — with or without the newly introduced term — to see what other interpretations might be plausible, other than a universe that neither expands nor contracts. One could, of course, conjure up all kinds of conceivable universes with wildly different properties. However, among the conceivable universes, only those that satisfied general relativity’s could be deemed plausible. And among the possible universes sifted out through mathematics, perhaps one of those might bear a close resemblance to the universe we actually inhabit."

"An interersting thing to keep in mind is that the known universe is made of up quarks, down quarks, electrons, neutrinos, and gauge bosons. All the other quarks and leptons have been made at accelerators (and occasionally by collisions of energetic cosmic rays in the earths atmosphere), and existed at an early stage of the universe and play no known role in the universe today or since soon after the big bang."

"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
