"Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it will become cancerous." Otto Heinrich Warburg

"I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books. I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me. My story is not a pleasant one; it is neither sweet nor harmonious, as invented stories are; it has the taste of nonsense and chaos, of madness and dreams -- like the lives of all men who stop deceiving themselves." Hermann Hesse

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." Nikola Tesla

"The most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those who have not viewed the world" Alexander von Humboldt

"What I relate is the history of the next two centuries. I describe what is coming, what can no longer come differently: the advent of nihilism […] For some time now, our whole European culture has been moving with a tortured tension that is growing from decade to decade, as toward a catastrophe: restlessly, violently, headlong, like a river that wants to reach the end, that no longer reflects, that is afraid to reflect." Friedrich Nietzsche

"The difference between a priest and a scientist? The color of the robe." yoice.net

"The truth that these papers don’t report is that the hypothesis that the JWST’s images are blatantly and repeatedly contradicting is the Big Bang Hypothesis." Eric J. Lerner

"To most professional astronomers and cosmologists, they [die JWST-Bilder] are also extremely surprising—not at all what was predicted by theory. […] One paper’s title begins with the candid exclamation: ‘Panic!’" Eric J. Lerner

"The Big Bang Hypothesis - which states the universe has been expanding since it began 14 billion years ago in a hot and dense state - is contradicted by the new James Webb Space Telescope images" Eric J. Lerner

"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there'd be a shortage of sand." Milton Friedman

"As the physicist Sabine Hossenfelder recently pointed out, a key assumption like ‘the cosmological principle’ - that the universe is on average the same in all directions - does not hold up well against observations." Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet

"Cosmology is different from other sciences in a fundamental way. The sheer scope of the subject matter covers the largest extent imaginable - literally - and it does so based only on observations from our own local place within it." Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet

"What if any of these hidden inferences happen to be fundamentally wrong? [...] Has the current standard model [Cosmology] become orthodoxy because it is very well-founded and proven - as the consensus view would have it? Or is it rather orthodoxy because it’s become ‘paradigm stuck’ - that is, path dependent and unable to generate a viable alternative?" Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet

"Before any physics or mathematics is involved, the framework is based on a series of logical inference leaps - we count 13 - that works as an invisible premise for the theory. Of these, some are not testable or are barely plausible. But they are necessary as simplifying conditions that enable scientists to articulate a scientifically consistent theory of the universe." Bjørn Ekeberg & Louis Marmet
