“In the early universe—when the universe was small enough to be governed by both general relativity and quantum theory—there were effectively four dimensions of space and none of time. That means that when we speak of the “beginning” of the universe, we are skirting the subtle issue that as we look backward toward the very early universe, time as we know it does not exist! We must accept that our usual ideas of space and time do not apply to the very early universe. That is beyond our experience, but not beyond our imagination, or our mathematics.”

“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”

“С Решение "Б" N;27 от 7 август 1951 г. Политбюро създава аналог на съветското ОСО (Особое совещание) - Специалното съвещание при НКВД, като орган за извънсъсдебна репресия, когато липсват доказателства за съд или те не могат да бъдат огласени по оперативни съображения. ОСО налага изпращане в лагер, принудително заселване или изселване само по материалите на следствените и оперативните работници, без участие на защита, в отсъствието на обвиняемия и с експедитивност, която позволява масовост на репресията.[...] Създадената от Политбюро комисия, неформално наричана Специална комисия, също така по административен ред, без защита и в отсъствие на обвиняемия, налага срокове на въдворяване до 7 години, въпреки че според закона срокът не може да бъде по-голям от 1 година.”
