“El número absoluto de planetas parecidos a la Tierra es tan grande en el universo, que por muy difícil que sea combinar átomos hasta formar moléculas, y que estas se junten para formar vida microscópica o incluso multicelular, en algún sistema solar no muy lejano a la Tierra debe existir por fuerza un planeta con vida. De hecho, debe haber millones de planetas con vida en el universo, y encontrar alguno será cuestión de tiempo, puntería y algo de suerte.”

“Gender stereotype beliefs may not seem like they are influencing you, but at a subconscious level they can even censor and influence your memories. This is what Dan Gilbert calls the ‘stereotype proof of memories’. For example, in a study that asked participants to think about how they were feeling a few months earlier, when volunteers were prompted to think about their gender, female volunteers remembered feeling more intense emotion, and male volunteers remembered feeling less intense emotion. For the others in the survey who were not asked to think about their gender, both males and females reported feeling the same levels of emotion. Yet, when the concept of gender was introduced females recalled feeling more stereotypically feminine emotions like sympathy and guilt, and males recalled feeling more stereotypically masculine emotions like anger and pride.”
