Until the 1990s, there were few reliable observations about movement at the scale of the entire universe, which is the only scale dark energy effects. So dark energy could not be seen until we could measure things very, very far away. – Adam Riess
For where Kingman is located, the coral cover is unique in the world. I refer to it as a universe of hard corals. You are not going to find soft corals like in the western Pacific – places like Indonesia, Palau, or Fiji. – Brian Skerry
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. – Bill Watterson
If you have this idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old, you are denying, if you will, everything that you can touch and see. You’re not paying attention to what’s happening in the universe around you. – Bill Nye
Physicists explain creation by telling us that the universe began with the Big Bang, an intense energy singularity that continued expanding. But who created the singularity? – Ashwin Sanghi
I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck. – Aleister Crowley
The short story is an imploding universe. It has all the boil of energy inside it. A novel has shrapnel going all over the place. You can have a mistake in a novel. A short story has to be perfect. – Colum McCann
We’ve known for a long time that the universe is expanding. But about 15 years ago, my colleagues and I discovered that it is expanding faster and faster. That is, the universe is accelerating, and that was not expected, but it is now attributed to this mysterious stuff called dark energy which seems to make up about 70 percent of the universe. – Adam Riess
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former. – Albert Einstein
I would say my whole universe is probably categorized as guerilla marketing. For a long time, I had a line which was, ‘Whenever I hear the word ‘marketing,’ it makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth.’ – Brad Feld

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. – Carl Sagan
Nature, I have constantly argued in my work, is the real superpower of this godless universe. It is the ultimate disposer of human fate, randomly recarving geography over 10,000-year epochs. – Camille Paglia
I’m a big believer in quantum physics, which says that the universe is more incredible and mysterious than any of us can imagine, which is my way of saying, ‘Anything is possible, including angels.’ – Caroline Leavitt
I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn’t think anything about being famous or anything like that, I was just interested in the concepts involved. – Clyde Tombaugh
Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe. – Alan Watts
We have to balance the lineality of the known universe with the nonlineality of the unknown universe. – Carlos Castaneda
String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space. – Brian Greene
Owing to some peculiarity in my nervous system, I have perception of some things, which no one else has; or at least very few, if any… I can throw rays from every quarter of the universe into one vast focus. – Ada Lovelace
You can parody and make fun of almost anything, but that does not turn the universe into a caricature. – Bernard Berenson
In reality there is no cause or effect, there is only the indifference of the universe. – Al Goldstein
As scientists, we track down all promising leads, and there’s reason to suspect that our universe may be one of many – a single bubble in a huge bubble bath of other universes. – Brian Greene
