أنت تجد في الشرق أحد اثنين .. تجد من يرفض العلم اكتفاء بالدين و القرآن .. و تجد من يرفض الدين اكتفاء و عبادة للعلم المادي و الوسائل المادية . و كلا الاثنين سبب من أسباب النكبة الحضارية في المنطقة .. و كلاهما لم يفهم المعنى الحقيقي للدين و لا المعنى الحقيقي للعلم . ↗

In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. Indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. Future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. They will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe......We live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time. ↗

His eyes were eggs of unstable crystal, vibrating with a frequency whose name was rain and the sound of trains, suddenly sprouting a humming forest of hair-fine glass spines. ↗
