“An elementary structure of the world is emerging, generated by a swarm of quantum events, where time and space do not exist. Quantum fields draw together space, time, matter, and light, exchanging information between one event and another. Reality is a network of granular events; the dynamic that connects them is probabilistic; between one event and another, space, time, matter, and energy melt into a cloud of probability.”
― Carlo Rovelli, Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity

“To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one.”
