The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook Quotes

“Galaxies aren’t the only astronomical objects with large redshifts. When the first telescopes that could detect radio waves were built, they discovered very bright, very compact sources in the sky. This is odd, because if you see a single point of light in the sky, it’s usually a star. But stars usually don’t emit a lot of radio waves. These mysterious sources of light were called quasi-stellar objects, or quasars for short.”

“The Middle Ages saw the establishment and advancement of the university, where every future physician, lawyer, and clergyman in Europe was required to learn logic, geometry, algebra, and astronomy, informed by a synthesis of the recently rediscovered Greek science and more modern thought. Isaac Newton (1642–1726), the greatest physicist of the scientific revolution (and arguably of all time), acknowledged his debt to his predecessors: If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
