Extinction Crisis Quotes

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions,”

“Listen, the riddle of what consciousness is and why we have it is still a rather sticky question in the scientific community. Fundamentally, if all of us are only a bunch of atoms strung together, then we’re not that different from a rock or a star. So if we’re conscious, why aren’t they?”
― James D. Prescott, Extinction Crisis

“Einstein called quantum entanglement ‘spooky action at a distance,’ because those entangled particles I mentioned earlier collapsed into the exact same state no matter how far apart they were from one another. Einstein probably didn’t like it since it defied the speed of light predicted by his theory of relativity.”
― James D. Prescott, Extinction Crisis

“Particles exist in a certain spin or a quantum state. When two particles created at the same time share the same composite state, we say they are entangled. Each individual particle’s spin could be up, down or anywhere in between, but the combined spins of the two particles are restricted if they’re entangled. Because the quantum world is one of infinite probabilities, each particle’s spins are said to have all spins at once until the particle is observed, then they collapse into a specific value.”

“I suppose because each of us thinks of ourselves as the hero of our own story. At heart, that’s what we are, as humans. We’re storytellers. Sometimes those stories are mostly true and sometimes they’re not true at all. But however you slice it, each of us always has to come out on top. When the facts don’t support that conclusion, it normally means the story has to change to fit the desired outcome.”
― James D. Prescott, Extinction Crisis
