Many physicists these days sound like the Delphic oracle - with equations. - John Twelve Hawks

Many of our leaders have gone past the old-fashioned politics of the democratic era and entered into the politics of fear. People running for national office no longer emphasize their views about the economy or social change. The leading political question of our time has become: who can ease our nightmares?

All language – everything we say – is just an approximation of reality.

What happens in our future can change the meaning of what has happened in our past.
