Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

Please join me in applauding the ESA - European Space Agency’s historic efforts with the Rosetta Mission and landing a spacecraft on rotating comet. It may seem like a work of fiction, but it is very real, very impressive, and will help us to further uncover the mysteries surrounding the formation of the solar system. They made a beautiful short film using an imaginary landscape to illustrate today’s historic feat.

For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen.

If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist.

Real science can be far stranger than science fiction and much more satisfying.

If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.

A picture is worth a thousand words...and uses up a thousand times the memory.
