“An explosion in space makes no sound, as there is no air to transmit the sound waves.”
― Kip S. Thorne, The Science of Interstellar

“Because the Muse persists.”
― Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles

“Matthew Choptuik, a postdoctoral student at the University of Texas, carried out a simulation on a supercomputer that he hoped would reveal new, unexpected features of the laws of physics; and he hit the jackpot. What he simulated was the implosion of a gravitational wave.47 When the imploding wave was weak, it imploded and then disbursed. When it was strong, the wave imploded and formed a black hole. When its strength was very precisely “tuned” to an intermediate strength, the wave created a sort of boiling in the shapes of space and time. The boiling produced outgoing gravitational waves with shorter and shorter wavelengths. It also left behind, at the end, an infinitesimally tiny naked singularity”

“No matter how hard we may try, we can only travel forward. The relativistic laws guarantee it.”
