Quotes by Iwan Rhys Morus (?)

“Life for Faraday was, by definition, beyond any kind of mere human meddling. That meant that anything that turned out as a matter of fact, amenable to experimental investigation, simply could not be the principle of life.”

“Armstrong’s hydro-electric machine – to its visitors. This gargantuan piece of equipment could be used to mount a truly spectacular extravaganza of sparks and explosions. The press was duly primed to note its substantial dimensions, with a boiler 7.5ft long and 3.5ft in diameter, to produce steam; the steam then came gushing out of a series of nozzles to produce the electricity, which powered the whole contraption.”
― Iwan Rhys Morus, Shocking Bodies: Life, Death and Electricity in Victorian England

“The electrical universe meant that ‘eternal life and perpetual motion are almost, or altogether, synonymous’ – that is to say, impossible.30 Time therefore, for revolution on earth since there was no hope of heaven.”
