Sonner or later we all have to pay for what we do - Mrs.Cheveley -

Questions are never indiscreet , answers sometimes are ! -Mrs. Cheveley -

nowadays people marry as often as they can don't they? It's most fashionable -lady Markby-

من البديهي ان النص المترجم لا يحافظ على معاني النص الاصلي مهمى تحرى المترجم الدقه فالنص الاصلي يبقى قابلا للتأويل والتحليل وقد تكون عباراته تحمل معاني متعدده الحرفيه منها و المجازيه و الرمزيه لكن النص المترجم يصبح جامدا فيختار المترجم من المعاني المتعدده المعنى الاقرب الى فهمه

كانت امي حريصه على تعليمنا الدبن اليهودي اما ميشال فقد رباه والده على المسيحيه لكننا تعلمنا ان ذلك لا يغير من اخوتنا شيئا لان الله واحد للجميع

National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatical ethnic or religious or national chauvinisms are a little difficult to maintain when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars. Travel is broadening.

There is no other species on Earth that does science. It is, so far, entirely a human invention, evolved by natural selection in the cerebral cortex for one simple reason: it works. It is not perfect. It can be misused. It is only a tool. But it is by far the best tool we have, self-correcting, ongoing, applicable to everything

It has the sound of epic myth, and rightly.But it is simply a description of cosmic evolution as revealed by the science of our time. Our achievements rest on the accomplishments of 40,000 generations of our human predecessors, all but a tiny fraction of whom are nameless and forgotten.

Every aspect of Nature reveals a deep mystery and touches our sense of wonder and awe.

As we look deep into space we also look far back into time.The nearest quasar is perhaps half a billion light- years away.The farthest may be ten or twelve or more billions. But if we see an object twelve billion light-years away, we are seeing it as it was twelve billion years ago in time.By looking far out into space we are also looking far back into time back toward the epoch of the Big Bang.

If the universe truly oscillates, still stranger questions arise.First the ripples spread from a point on the water’s surface,then I throw a stone into the pond.First the torch bursts into flame and then I light it.We cannot pretend to understand what such causality inversion means.Will people at such a time be born in the grave and die in the womb?Will time flow backwards?Do these questions have any meaning?

Supernova shock waves may have contributed to accretions of matter at every scale.The epic of cosmic evolution had begun,a hierarchy in the condensation of matter from the gas of the Big Bang clusters of galaxies, galaxies, stars,planets, and, eventually,life and an intelligence able to understand a little of the elegant process responsible for its origin.

Ten or twenty billion years ago,something happened the Big Bang,the event that began our universe.All the matter and energy now in the universe was concentrated at extremely high density a kind of cosmic egg .It was not that all the matter and energy were squeezed into a minor corner of the present universe rather the entire universe,matter and energy and the space they fill,occupied a very small volume.

The Galaxy is an unexplored continent filled with exotic beings of stellar dimensions. We have made a preliminary reconnaissance and have encountered some of the inhabitants. A few of them resemble beings we know. Others are bizarre beyond our most unconstrained fantasies. But we are at the very beginning of our exploration

quarks the ultimate constituents of matter, or are they too composed of still smaller and more elementary particles? Will we ever come to an end in our understanding of the nature of matter, or is there an infinite regression into more and more fundamental particles? This is one of the great unsolved problems in science.

Traveling close to the speed of light is a kind of elixir of life. Because time slows down close to the speed of light, special relativity provides us with a means of going to the stars. But is it possible, in terms of practical engineering, to travel close to the speed of light? Is a starship feasible?

Light, travels in a vacuum. There are restrictions on how molecules of air can move which do not apply to a vacuum. Light from the Sun reaches us across the intervening empty space, but no matter how carefully we listen, we do not hear the crackle of sunspots or the thunder of the solar flares.

The rising and falling of the surf is produced in part by tides.The Moon and the Sun are far away. But their gravitational influence is very real and noticeable back here on Earth.
