“One person's data is another person's noise.”
K.C. Cole

“There is a hole in the universe.

It is not like a hole in a wall where a mouse slips through, solid and crisp and leading from somewhere to someplace. It is rather like a hole in the heart, an amorphous and edgeless void. It is a heartfelt absence, a blank space where something is missing, a large and obvious blind spot in our understanding of the universe.

That missing something, strange to say, is a grasp of nothing itself. Understanding nothing matters, because nothing is the all-important background upon which everything else happens.”
K.C. Cole, The Hole in the Universe: How Scientists Peered over the Edge of Emptiness and Found Everything

“The earth doesn't move backward (very much) when you walk only because it's much more massive than you are.”
K.C. Cole, Sympathetic Vibrations: Reflections on Physics as a Way of Life
