Like a lover, no other molecule in nature provided such merciful pain relief, then hooked humans so completely, and punished them so mercilessly for wanting their freedom from it."]]> 2016-09-28 21:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/71umhssjwbmi/wish/127116047 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/71umhssjwbmi/wish/142273937 "However, if we do discover a complete theory [of space-time]. . .then we shall all, philosophers, scientists and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist.

I understood on some dim, detached level that the sweep of the earth beneath my feet was a spectacular sight. I'd been fantasizing about this moment, and the release of emotion that would accompany it, for many months. But now that I was finally here, actually standing on the summit of Mount Everest, I just couldn't summon the energy to care."]]> 2016-12-07 13:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/71umhssjwbmi/wish/142274015 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/71umhssjwbmi/wish/142274131 "Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from.

Upon reaching a secluded campsite in Dry Creek Canyon, he and Barzee conducted a weird, self-styled wedding ritual to "seal" the girl to Mitchell in "the new and everlasting covenant"—a Mormon euphemism for polygamous marriage. Barzee then demanded that Elizabeth remove her red pajamas...Faced with this prospect, Elizabeth complied, whereupon Mitchell consummated the marriage by raping his fourteen-year-old bride." ]]> 2016-12-07 13:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/71umhssjwbmi/wish/142274178 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/71umhssjwbmi/wish/142274256 "Governments from the top fail as often as those from the bottom; and every great failure brings a sad social reaction, thousands and millions of helpless men laying down their lives in the unhappy process.

What do we know about the universe, and how do we know it? Where did the universe come from, and where is it going? Did the universe have a beginning, and if so, what happened before then? What is the nature of time? Will it ever come to an end? Can we go back in time? Recent breakthroughs in physics, made possible in part by fantastic new technologies, suggest answers to some of these longstanding questions. Someday these answers may seem as obvious to us as the earth orbiting the sun – or perhaps as ridiculous as a tower of tortoises.
