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

“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.”

“Everything is made of invisible particles.
The elementary particles of matter—“the seeds of the things”—are eternal.
The elementary particles are infinite in number but limited in shape and size.
All particles are in motion in an infinite void.
The universe has no creator or designer.
Everything comes into being as a result of a swerve.
The swerve is the source of free will.
Nature ceaselessly experiments.
The universe was not created for or about humans.
Humans are not unique.
Human society began not in a Golden Age of tranquility and plenty, but in a primitive battle for survival.
The soul dies.
There is no afterlife.
Death is nothing to us.
All organized religions are superstitious delusions.
Religions are invariably cruel.
There are no angels, demons, or ghosts.
The highest goal of human life is the enhancement of pleasure and the reduction of pain.
The greatest obstacle to pleasure is not pain; it is delusion.
Understanding the nature of things generates deep wonder.”

“Proteins often bind to small molecules. Sometimes that binding behavior is central to the protein’s function: the main role for a given protein can involve binding to particular molecules. For example, signaling transduction in cells often passes messages via the mechanism of a protein binding to another molecule. Other times, the molecule binding to the protein is foreign: possibly a drug we’ve created to manipulate the protein, possibly a toxin that interferes with its function.”

“The smallest living things known, the viroids, are composed of less than 10,000 atoms. They cause several different diseases in cultivated plants and have probably most recently evolved from more complex organisms rather than from simpler ones. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a still simpler organism that is in any sense alive. Viroids are composed exclusively of nucleic acid, unlike the viruses, which also have a protein coat. They are no more than a single strand of RNA with either a linear or a closed circular geometry. Viroids can be so small and still thrive because they are thoroughgoing, unremitting parasites. Like viruses, they simply take over the molecular machinery of a much larger, well-functioning cell and change it from a factory for making more cells into a factory for making more viroids.”
