All of the full moons for the entire year are special in that they have particular names.
Our five senses are faulty data-taking devices, and they need help.
Photons are accurately and legitimately described as waves and particles at the same time. They are genuine wavicles.
UV is bad for molecules because its high energy breaks the bonds between a molecule’s constituent atoms. That’s why UV is bad for you, too: it’s always best to avoid things that decompose the molecules of your flesh.
Gamma rays are the sort of radiation you should avoid. Want proof? Just remember how the comic strip character “The Hulk” became big, green, and ugly.
If there were biologists among the extremophiles organisms that live in extreme conditions, they would surely classify themselves as normal and any life that thrived in room temperature as an extremophile.

Miniaturization of electronics started by NASA’s push became an entire consumer products industry. Now we’re carrying the complete works of Beethoven on a lapel pin listening to it in headphones.
Your center of mass is a place you cannot visit but you always carry with you. Like memories, it is part of life’s baggage.
Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the time. It’s whole universes coming into and out of existence.
What scientists want next is a thorough comparison of what we and exosolar planets and vagabonds look like. Only in this way will we know whether our home life is normal or whether we live in a dysfunctional solar family.
Deep in the world of atomic nuclei, life is not always tranquil.
My investment of time, as an educator, in my judgment, is best served teaching people how to think about the world around them. Teach them how to pose a question. How to judge whether one thing is true versus the other.
It seems that we’re better at finding someone to blame for our problems than we are at finding creative solutions to fix them.
Never presume that just because you disagree with an idea that you must be correct.
Words that make questions may not be questions at all.
You don’t take a dead cat to the vet. I mean you might, but why?
The only way you can invent tomorrow is if you break out of the enclosure that the school system has provided for you by the exams written by people who are trained in another generation.
If Pizza sizes were given in area not diameter, you’d see instantly that a 7 inch is less than half the size of a 10 inch pie.
We’re talking about a being whose very existence challenges our own sense of priority in the universe.
