"We all have a thirst for wonder. It’s a deeply human quality. Science and religion are both bound up with it. What I’m saying is, you don’t have to make stories up, you don’t have to exaggerate. There’s wonder and awe enough in the real world. Nature’s a lot better at inventing wonders than we are."

"Of course, humans have been speculating about the origins of the universe far longer than thy have been dabbling in modern science. Telling stories about the universe is as old as telling stories. In Norse mythology, the universe begins when a giant cow licks the gods out of a salty lip of a primordial pit. In Japanese mythology, Japan arises from the incestuous embrace of the brother and sister gods Izanagi and Izanami. In one Hindu myth, all creatures rise out of the clarified butter obtained from the sacrifice of the thousand-headed Purusha. More recently, though, over the last century or so, astrophysicists and cosmologists have constructed a detailed history of the universe supported by observational evidence."

“When I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up—many people feel small, because they’re small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars.” - Neil DeGrasse Tyson [x]

"It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. It’s a crazy world out there. Be curious."
