Michio Kaku
“The material world may come and go, but consciousness remains as the defining element, which means that consciousness, in some sense, creates reality.”
Michio Kaku, The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind

Mark Buchanan
“These are all problems in non-equilibrium physics, the physics of complex systems, or, to coin a new term historical physics. If the laws of physics are ultimately simple, why is the world so complex? Why don't eco-systems and economies reveal the same simplicity as Newton's laws? The answer, in a word, is history.”
Mark Buchanan, Ubiquity ?? The Physics Of Complex Systems
