" "These are the limits of the scientific method and of logic itself, insofar as they must rely on language. Our words are built on the objects of our experience. They have acquired their effectiveness by adapting themselves to the occurrences of our everyday world. But when we approach realities of another scale, these words can become obstacles.

Additional quotes by Hubert Reeves
Si l'on ramène les 4,5 milliards d'années de notre planète à une seule journée terrestre, en supposant que celle-ci soit apparue à 0 heure, alors la vie naît vers 5 heures du matin et se développe pendant toute la journée. Vers 20 heures seulement viennent les premiers mollusques. Puis à 23 heures arrivent les dinosaures qui disparaîtront à 23h40. Quant à nos ancêtres, ils ne débarquent enfin que dans les 5 dernières minutes avant 24 heures et ne voient leur cerveau doubler de volume que dans la toute dernière minute. La révolution industrielle n'a commencé que depuis un centième de seconde.
