It's just one thing after another. Cars that won't run. Planes that will never fly again. Computer systems we can barely use, let alone re-create. It's like...time is flowing backward. We're caveman archeologists in the ruins of the future. ↗

يا طير هجت الطائرينا ... و فتنت لب العالمينا لله درك ساحرا ... أبطلت كيد الساحرينا أظهرت معجزة العلوم... لنا و كنا كافرينا إنا لقوم يعشقون... النابغين الباسلينا يتسابقون حفاوة ... بالأقربين الأكرمينا ↗

A metric fuckton of dumb so epically mind-destroyingly beyond a bad idea that there's not a chance they would go there. ↗

One day a wolf bit a man and the man caught it. Magic or science, it's all the same. The only thing magical about it is that we can't explain it." ~Sam ↗

We believe that it is possible for scientific work to gain some knowledge about the reality of the world, by means of which we can increase out power and in accordance with which we can arrange our life. If this belief is an illusion, then we are in the same position as you. But science has given us evidence by its numerous and important successes that it is no illusion. ↗

Comprehending and knowing better and deeper are the best guarantees we can have to attain ideas and criteria of our own; i.e. to stop depending on what other people say. In summary, to be freer to choose our own path in life. ↗

ولا تظنن أن معرفة درجات الوحي تستدعي منصب الوحي إذ لا يبعد أن يعرف الطبيب المريض درجات الصحة ويعلم العالم الفاسق درجات العدالة وإن كان خاليا عنها فالعلم شيء ووجود المعلوم شيء آخر فلا كل من عرف النبوة والولاية كان نبيا ولا وليا ولا كل من عرف التقوى والورع ودقائقه كان تقيا ↗

For a God that created everything, it is mystifying why he created so much competition. ↗

He was a physicist, more precisely an astrophysicist, diligent and eager but without illusions: the Truth lay beyond, inaccessible to our telescopes, accessible to the initiates. This was a long road which he was traveling with effort, wonderment, and profound joy. Physics was prose: elegant gymnastics for the mind, mirror of Creation, the key to man's dominion over the planet; but what is the stature of Creation, of man and the planet? His road was long and he had barely started up it, but I was his disciple: did I want to follow him? ↗
