“Zu den vielen Widersprüchlichkeiten des deutschen Nürnberg-Diskurses zählt daher, dass viele Deutsche zwar nach Kriegsende behaupteten, durch die Prozesse erstmals von den Gräueltaten an den Juden und anderen Minderheiten erfahren zu haben, an dererseits jedoch mit derselben Vehemenz versichert wurde, die Gerichtsverhandlung habe nichts zu Tage gefördert, was nicht schon vorher bekannt gewesen sei.”
― Annette Weinke, Die Nürnberger Prozesse

“Dazu gehörten nach Vorstellungen des Finanzministers nicht nur eine komplette Deindustrialisierung und Demilitarisierung Deutschlands, sondern auch harte Vergeltungsmaßnahmen gegen deutsche Kriegsverbrecher.”

“... the origin of our modern word ‘brain’ has a similar derivation for it is believed to come from ‘braegen’, an Old English word (c. 1000) that appears to be related to a yet older French word ‘bran’ meaning refuse.”

“According to the classical view, at best one would expect to find copies of complete genes hidden within the ENCODE regions under study. As with the rest of the genome, gene transcripts made up only a fraction of the sequences. Instead, it turned out that not one percent but between 74 and 93 percent of the DNA was copied into RNA. Four out of every five bases had been transcribed into at least one RNA molecule. In other words, an enormous amount of “junk” must have been transcribed.”
― Bernhard Kegel, Epigenetik. Wie Erfahrungen vererbt werden

“We know that at least some terrestrial microbes can survive on Mars. What is necessary is a program of artificial selection and genetic engineering of dark plants—perhaps lichens—that could survive the much more severe Martian environment. If such plants could be bred, we might imagine them being seeded on the vast expanse of the Martian polar ice caps, taking root, spreading, blackening the ice caps, absorbing sunlight, heating the ice, and releasing the ancient Martian atmosphere from its long captivity.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos
