Religion is part of the human make-up. It's also part of our cultural and intellectual history. Religion was our first attempt at literature, the texts, our first attempt at cosmology, making sense of where we are in the universe, our first attempt at health care, believing in faith healing, our first attempt at philosophy. Christopher Hitchens

Faith Health Religion History Healing Care First Sense Universe Our Philosophy Cosmology Attempt Part Also Health Care Making Cultural Intellectual Texts Human Where Literature Believing

The success of ordinary cosmology speaks against the idea that the universe was created in a random fluctuation. Leonard Susskind

Success Random Universe Fluctuation Cosmology Idea Ordinary Against Created Speaks

Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities. Lisa Randall

Mathematics Science Creativity Physics Humanities Other Beneficiaries Cosmology More Particle Essential Just Arts Acknowledged Fields Widely

I wouldn't say that 'The Fabric of the Cosmos' is a book on cosmology. Cosmology certainly plays a big part, but the major theme is our ever-evolving understanding of space and time, and what it all means for our sense of reality. Brian Greene

'Theogony' should be read before the great Homeric epics because it gives an account of the cosmology that is taken for granted by Homer. It does for paganism what the Old Testament attempted to do for monotheism. Tariq Ali

Traditional arguments for the existence of God and contemporary attempts to use fine-tuning and cosmology to back up the case for his existence always strike me as kinds of games, since hardly anyone believes on the basis of these arguments at all. Julian Baggini

God Me Argument Back Strike Back Up Kinds Cosmology Case Attempts Since Contemporary Always Traditional His Existence Up Anyone Use Games Believes Hardly Basis

For me, science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance. Paul Davies

General relativity is the cornerstone of cosmology and astrophysics. It has also provided the conceptual basis for string theory and other attempts to unify all the forces of nature in terms of geometrical structures. Paul Davies

Indeed, the history of 20th century physics was in large measure about how to avoid the infinities that crop up in particle theory and cosmology. The idea of point particles is convenient but leads to profound, puzzling troubles. Gregory Benford

History Physics Indeed Cosmology Crop About Point Troubles Idea Puzzling Leads Particle Particles How Up Convenient The History Of Century Measure Avoid Theory Large Large Measure Profound

All at once, funding was gone due to the Mansfield Amendment, which was a reaction to the Vietnam War. In the minds of the local RLE administrators, research in gravitation and cosmology was not in the military's interest, and support was given to solid-state physics, which was deemed more relevant. Rainer Weiss

War Physics Gone Research Military Local Minds Once Relevant Administrators Cosmology Given More Support Reaction Due Amendment Which Interest Vietnam Vietnam War Deemed Gravitation Funding

I have my own cosmology that's kind of like an esoteric mix of a lot of different things that work for me and that to me, are worth exploring. There is a little bit of the archetypal Christianity that I've kind of reconciled because when you're raised that way, inevitably that infrastructure will persist into your adulthood. Weyes Blood

My present work concerns the problems connected with the theory of elementary particles, the theory of gravitation and cosmology and I shall be glad if I can manage to make some contribution to these important branches of science. Andrei Sakharov
