This is the most important joke I've ever heard. Niels Bohr, the founder of Quantum Physics, had a friend to dinner. As the friend left, he noticed a horseshoe nailed above Bohr's front door. He said to Bohr, accusingly, "Niels, you're a great scientist. You can't believe in superstitions." Bohr answered, "I don't, but apparently it works anyway."As with confirmation bias, we tend to lean toward superstitions that benefit us.
John CleeseI used to desire many, many things, but now I have just one desire, and that's to get rid of all my other desires.
John CleeseSci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it's possible, so why not?
John CleeseI have a tendency sometimes to get too logical with what I'm writing, just because I want it to be kind of perfect.
John CleeseNo hope for planet at all. But I will be gone before the planet is gone, so it's your problem.
