"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." Horace Jackson Brown Jr.

Quote by Dr Rudolph Virchow about germs seeking diseased tissue, not causing itCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat-diseased tissue-rather than being the cause of dead tissue. In other words, mosquitoes seek the stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to become stagnant." Dr. Rudolph Virchow

Quote by Isaac Newton on the absurdity of action at a distance through a vacuumCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

""[…]that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it."" Isaac Newton

Quote by Jordan Maxwell about the true nature of banks, governments, police, and educational institutionsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters." Jordan Maxwell

A thoughtful quote on scientific knowledge by Karl Jaspers highlighting the importance of knowing one's limits and self-criticismCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"To be scientific, that is to know what one knows and what one does not know; unscientific is dogmatic knowledge. To be scientific is to know with reasons; to accept ready-made opinions is unscientific. Scientific is the knowledge with the consciousness of the respectively determined limits of the knowledge; unscientific is all total knowledge, as if one knew in the whole. Scientific is boundless criticism and self-criticism, the advancing questioning; unscientific is the concern that doubt could paralyze. Scientific is the methodical course, which step by step on the ground of experience penetrates to the decision; unscientific is the play of multiple opinions and possibilities and the murmuring." Karl Jaspers

Inspirational quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the power of commitment and boldnessCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would have never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"You imagine that I look back on my life’s work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track." Albert Einstein

Neil deGrasse Tyson quote about science and the universeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"So, what you learn when you study science in general, but astrophysics especially, is that you no longer invoke your senses to judge what makes sense, or you no longer invoke your personal philosophies to judge what should be true. The universe is what it is, and it really doesn't care about your senses." Neil deGrasse Tyson

"We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth's protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief. Those challenges are yours -- in many fields, not the least of which is space, because there lies human destiny" Neil Alden Armstrong

Quote about the hunt for stellar parallax and the shift from Ptolemaic to Copernican systems by Alan HirshfeldCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"In Newton’s day, the Ptolemaic system and the Keplerian version of the Copernican system were taught side by side in the universities of the world. But the pendulum of belief had swung irreversibly to the Copernican side. In the minds of most scientists, the heliocentric universe had become fact…Yet there remained a crucial missing element in what was otherwise a complete and compelling picture of the universe: Not one shred of indisputable observational proof existed that the Earth moved through space.Here then was the holy grail of many an astronomer. To prove that the Earth in fact revolved in a wide orbit around the Sun, the parallax of just one star – any star – had to be detected. The hunt for stellar parallax was on." Alan Hirshfeld

Quote by Albert Einstein about coordinate systems and perspectives in scienceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The struggle, so violent in the early days of science, between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless. Either CS [coordinate system] could be used with equal justification. The two sentences, “the Sun is at rest and the Earth moves,” or “the Sun moves and the Earth is at rest,” would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS." Albert Einstein

Quote by Lawrence Krauss discussing the cosmic microwave background and the unexpected correlation with the Earth's ecliptic plane.Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"“But when you look at CMB map (Cosmic Microwave Background), you also see that the structure that is observed, is in fact, in a weird way, correlated with the plane of the earth around the sun. Is this Copernicus coming back to haunt us? That's crazy. We're looking out at the whole universe. There's no way there should be a correlation of structure with our motion of the earth around the sun - the plane of the earth around the sun - the ecliptic. That would say we are truly the center of the universe. The new results are either telling us that all of science is wrong and we're the center of the universe, or maybe the data is (s)imply incorrect, or maybe it's telling us there's something weird about the microwave background results and that maybe, maybe there's something wrong with our theories on the larger scales.”" Lawrence Krauss

Quote by Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun about the challenges of a moon mission in 1953Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth. Furthermore, in order to give the expedition a margin of safety, we would not use one ship alone, but a minimum of three … each rocket ship would be taller than New York’s Empire State Building [almost ¼ mile high] and weigh about ten times the tonnage of the Queen Mary, or some 800,000 tons." Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun

Quote by John Francis Clauser about dangerous corruption of climate science and energy crisisCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people. Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s large population and an associated energy crisis. The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science." John Francis Clauser

Quote by Henrik Svensmark on the sun's effect on climate and CO2 influenceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"My work is about the effect of the sun on climate, and if the sun has a decisive influence on climate, that means that the influence of CO2 is smaller. That doesn't fit with the narrative that CO2 is supposed to be such a dominant factor in global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a UN organization that admits members based on area, political affiliation, and in some cases merit. My work is in fact ignored by it. In the Climategate emails, that went public in 2011, I noticed an email discussing possible authors for the IPCC's fifth assessment report. One qualification for an author had to be that he was 'anti-Svensmark'." Henrik Svensmark

Quote by Edwin Powell Hubble about the improbability of a privileged place in the universeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Such a condition would imply that we occupy a unique position in the universe, analogous, in a sense, to the ancient conception of a central earth. The hypothesis cannot be disproved but it is unwelcome and would be accepted only as a last resort in order to save the phenomena. [...] But the unwelcome supposition of a favoured location must be avoided at all costs." Edwin Powell Hubble

Quote by Stephen William Hawking about the universe and our place in itCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Now at first sight, all this evidence that the universe looks the same whichever direction we look in might seem to suggest there is something special about our place in the universe. In particular, it might seem that if we observe all other galaxies to be moving away from us, then we must be at the center of the universe. There is, however, an alternate explanation: the universe might look the same in every direction as seen from any other galaxy too. This, as we have seen, was Friedmann’s second assumption. We have no scientific evidence for, or against, this assumption. We believe it only on grounds of modesty" Stephen William Hawking

Quote by Hajo Funke about the deep state in Germany and its lack of oversightCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"For Germany, ‘deep state’ means a structure of its own—one that is not subject to oversight, not bound by the rule of law, and able to act according to its own interests and expediency, without legal constraints and without control by a democracy based on the separation of powers." Hajo Funke

Quote by Jimmy Carter on the impact of unlimited political bribery turning America into an oligarchyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over. … The incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody’s who’s already in Congress has a lot more to sell to an avid contributor than somebody who’s just a challenger." Jimmy Carter

Quote by Joe Dubs explaining government as an illusion of authority and mind controlCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Government is the illusion of authority, but more importantly government is mind control. Naturally, since if you want people to believe in this fictitious thing called ‘authority’ you first have to mold the minds of the collective to accept this false ideology. This is what government is. It’s the illusion of some “official” group of people out there who get to tell everybody else what to do and how to do it. The truth is there is no such thing as authority, and government is an illusion that we’ve imposed upon ourselves from the irrational thinking of a controlled mind. It’s generally agreed that the power of government ultimately comes from the people. Governments seem to have rights that individuals do not. And it’s agreed that it is these individuals that make up government. It doesn’t take much critical thinking to realize that individuals are granting power that they don’t possess to a group of other individuals who call themselves ‘government’. One cannot delegate a right that they do not possess individually. This is one of the fundamental reasons why government is completely and utterly fallacious." Joe Dubs

"The tactic of the ‘Querdenker’ movement is to gradually fight for control of the streets. The police must act—and if necessary, use pepper spray and batons. We must not give them an inch!" Saskia Lea Raquel Weishaupt

"'Enemies of science' are not the people who question numbers, studies, and measures, but those who want to suppress open debate about them. Blaming and excluding others may give us psychological relief, but it won’t solve the COVID crisis—which by now is more of a societal crisis than a purely health-related one." Dr. Alexander Zinn

Quote about vaccine mandates and individual freedom by Prof. Dr. Dr. Frauke Meta RostalskiCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"We must not forget how serious an infringement on fundamental rights a vaccination mandate would be. It does not only interfere with bodily integrity, but also affects an individual’s dignity if vaccination is carried out against their will. Given the significant uncertainty that still exists, I clearly believe that the individual’s interest in freedom outweighs everything else. In this situation, there must be no coercion to get vaccinated." Prof. Dr. Dr. Frauke Meta Rostalski

"We can’t wait for mandatory vaccination to become unnecessary just because infection levels in the population are very high. Omicron as a kind of ‘dirty vaccination’ is not an alternative to a vaccination mandate." Karl Lauterbach
