Evolutionary cosmology formulates theories in which a universe is capable of giving rise to and generating future universes out of itself, within black holes or whatever. – Robert Nozick
I always say to my students that being a scientist is like being an explorer, and I really mean that because, in a sense, I think in science we explore the world, the universe around us. – Roderick MacKinnon
I had always been told by my parents, not implicitly told, but every inference was that Britain was the hub of the universe. – Rolf Harris
I was a huge Muppet fan growing up, but that was the extent of my puppet knowledge. I really loved the art form and the whole Henson universe. – Rob McClure
I believe that we’re not alone. How can we be alone in an infinite universe? I’m using the word ‘alien’ with a little trepidation because I know that sparks so many different versions of that word, and there are so many different images that come into one person’s head when someone says it. – Rose Leslie
A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory. – Richard Dawkins
If Mr. Einstein doesn’t like the natural laws of the universe, let him go back to where he came from. – Robert Benchley
The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract. – Robert A. Heinlein
But that incessant drive to be out there in the literary universe that was important to me when I was in my twenties, like going to a Paris Review party or whatever, that seems totally irrelevant now. – Rick Moody
The fact that there is a unity in everything demonstrates that they are the works and artefacts of a single being. The universe is like a rosebud swathed in a thousand veils of unity. Or it is a single macroanthropos dressed in unities to the number of Divine Names and universal Divine works. – Said Nursi
Blogs with feminist content, from ‘Feministing’ and ‘Jezebel’ to ‘Racialicious’ and ‘Shakesville’ and ‘Feministe,’ have opened up and changed the scope of the feminist universe for women who might never have encountered contemporary feminism. – Rebecca Traister
It would be difficult to discover the truth about the universe if we refused to consider anything that might be true. – Richard Morris
I think scientific arrogance really does give a great degree of distrust. I think people begin to think that scientists like to believe that they can run the universe. – Robert Winston
Every fact in the universe will fit every other fact in the universe. A lie never did, never will fit anything but another lie made to fit it. Never, never! – Robert Green Ingersoll
Stephen Jones’ hats are what we used to call ‘creations’; extravagant, odd things for extravagant, odd people like Madonna or Lady Gaga. They’re worn in a parallel universe. – Peter York
‘Tammy,’ the new movie starring, produced, and co-written by Melissa McCarthy, could be an artifact from some alternate universe: the creatures there resemble Earthlings but have an entirely different and debased idea of what’s funny. – Richard Corliss
A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie. – Robert Green Ingersoll
You can either go down the stage like everybody else, or you can go through the crowd like Roman Reigns. I’d take going through the crowd, the WWE Universe, every day of the week. – Roman Reigns
Sure, our three-pound brains might be inadequate to understand the universe. But perhaps they’re just good enough to build something that can. – Seth Shostak
The universe doesn’t owe us condolence or consolation; it doesn’t owe us a nice warm feeling inside. – Richard Dawkins
Even if these stories are 3,000 years old, there’s still so much about the characters, about the dilemmas, about their understanding of the universe that still resonates. The whole idea of order and chaos, which is really central to the ancient Egyptian understanding of the world, is still very much with us. – Rick Riordan
A good character, like a Gibraltar, will stand against the testimony of all the rascals in the universe, no matter how they assail it. It will stand, and it will stand firmer and grander the more it is assaulted. – Robert Green Ingersoll
A universe that came from nothing in the big bang will disappear into nothing at the big crunch. Its glorious few zillion years of existence not even a memory. – Paul Davies
The limitless content of our universe might be only one instance of a large (and possibly infinite) number of other universes. – Seth Shostak
A lot of people will call me nuts or crazy, but I’ve always been pretty stable. By some people’s standards, I might be crazy. But I realize that I’m not going to harm anyone, and the only place that I live is within my own universe, really – so it’s O.K. – Rachel Miner
Three-fourths of the universe is hydrogen, and oxygen is incredibly abundant, too. So H2O is something you can find nearly everywhere. – Seth Shostak
One likes to think one grows as a writer as one ages, else all you get is an ‘old’ young writer. Beyond that is the changing landscape of the universe and the stories I choose to tell. – Raymond E. Feist
