Words matter. These are the best Robert Lanza Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
The farther we peer into space, the more we realize that the nature of the universe cannot be understood fully by inspecting spiral galaxies or watching distant supernovas. It lies deeper. It involves our very selves.
As children we were bombarded by competing answers. Church says one thing, school another. Now as adults it’s no surprise that if we discuss the nature of it all, we generally spout some combination of the two, depending on our individual inclination and mood.
Our instinctual understanding of reality is the same as most other animals.
We don’t have time to wait for President Bush to change his mind. How many breakthroughs have been missed as a result of this policy?
Time is not an absolute reality but an aspect of our consciousness.
We take for granted how our mind puts everything together.
Amazingly when you add life and consciousness to the equation you can actually explain some of the biggest puzzles of science.
Without consciousness, space and time are nothing.
Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.
Our thoughts have an order, not of themselves, but because the mind generates the spatio-temporal relationships involved in every experience.
We have these words ‘space’ and ‘time,’ but you can’t touch them. They’re not objects, they’re not things, they go forever. Space and time are really tools of animal sense perception, the way we organize and construct information.
We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.
I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.
That’s absolutely correct and in addition to that life just isn’t an accident of the laws of physics. There’s a long list of experiments that suggest just the opposite.
So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we’ll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We’ve also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.
When science tries to resolve its conflicts by adding and subtracting dimensions to the Universe like houses on a Monopoly board, we need to examine our dogmas.
Today’s preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science – to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift’s kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.
Death is simply a break in our linear stream of consciousness.
Physics tells us observations can’t be predicted absolutely. Rather, there’s a range of possible observations each with a different probability.
