"today's multilayered theoretical edifice of the big bang paradigm would turn out to be a confusing mix of fictional beasts invented to uphold the model, along with empirically valid variables mutually reliant on each other to the point of making it impossible to sort science from fiction." Bjørn Ekeberg

"The big bang paradigm that emerged in the mid-20th century effectively stretches the model’s validity to a kind of infinity […] these limited observations have had an outsized influence on cosmological theory." Bjørn Ekeberg

"Each new discrepancy between observation and theory can, of course, in and of itself be considered an exciting promise of more research, a progressive refinement toward the truth. But when they add up, they could also suggest a more confounding problem that is not resolved by tweaking parameters or adding new variables." Bjørn Ekeberg

"This well-known story is usually taken as a self-evident scientific fact, despite the relative lack of empirical evidence—and despite a steady crop of discrepancies arising with observations of the distant universe." Bjørn Ekeberg

"They're both the same. An astrophysicist looking out there is thinking in terms of science fiction." William Shatner

"It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind." Albert Einstein

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances of survival of life on Earth as much as the development of a vegetarian diet." Albert Einstein

"Science that fails to embrace all living beings is far more dangerous than any virus!" Steve Simmons

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. Learning never exhausts the mind. Art is never finished, only abandoned. Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art. It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death. Water is the driving force of all nature.”" Leonardo da Vinci

"The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing." Henry Ford

"Plans are nothing. Planning is everything." Dwight D. Eisenhower

"He who fails to plan, plans his failure." Benjamin Franklin

"Hoping for change without doing anything about it yourself is like standing at the train station and waiting for a ship." Albert Einstein

"It must give every serious-minded person pause to reflect that, despite the best healthcare facilities, diseases continue to spread. We have high standards of hygiene that control factors such as diet, water, clothing, everyday items, industry, construction, waste, and climatic influences to prevent harm to health. Its most outstanding achievement is the eradication of epidemics; its most visible failure is the steady rise in disease rates, especially for heart disease and cancer." Dr. med. Heinrich Will
