Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors.

If I finish a book a week, I will read only a few thousand books in my lifetime, about a tenth of a percent of the contents of the greatest libraries of our time. The trick is to know which books to read.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. - Carl Sagan

Admitting they were fooled ('bamboozled') would mean facing the loss, feeling foolish, and acknowledging their poor judgment. It's often easier emotionally to dismiss the evidence and cling to their false beliefs.

Any modern-day examples that fit this?

Scientific method: The systematic process for investigating phenomena: observe, question, hypothesize, experiment, analyze, conclude and repeat. It ensures findings are objective, repeatable, and evidence based.

Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another.

Hi all, I am currently in my final year of my undergrad at U of Edinburgh. I was wondering if anybody knew of any interesting opportunities (internships/jobs) in astrobiology / space bioscience for recent graduates not yet enrolled in a graduate program.

I love physics #physicsteacher

Sir Isaac Newton was born today in 1642 (Julian calendar). He came up with his theory of gravity in 1687, as a force acting between two masses, after seeing an apple fall from a tree. It explained planetary motion very well, except Mercury.
