"A lot of metaphors and similes about being under water
Harriet, the main character, has moods that feel like diving under water, and stirring up the green algae dust and mud on the bottom of a pond or lake.
Harriet practices holding her breath under water for as long as she can at the country club pool.
And…”the house was as silent as a submarine.” page 569" — 3 hours, 7 min ago

"Fiction, but infused with just as many facts.
A biopic.. of both scientists and their theories/laws but some of both are fictional.
Creative license.
To read this feels dangerous and unnerving, like the off-base versions of Marie Antoinette.. But I get why the author felt compelled to fuse fact and fiction.
It’s up to us, the reader, to learn the truth." — Jan 17, 2026 08:26AM

"“The world will always be beautiful to those who look for beauty…
Apocalyptic stories always get the apocalypse wrong. The tragedy is not the failed world's barren ugliness. The tragedy is its clinging beauty even as it fails. Until the very last cricket falls silent, the beauty-besotted will find a reason to love the world.”" — Jan 17, 2026 09:13AM

“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.”
