The Monday Morning Memo

“You can take one of the greatest of all cosmic perspectives that exist, and it’s the revelation that emerged – mid 20th century – that the atoms of our body are traceable to the crucibles in the centers of stars, that then later exploded, scattering that enrichment into pristine gas clouds that then formed star systems with planets, one of which was the sun, with earth, so that we’re not simply alive in this universe, the universe is alive within us. That is a gift of modern astrophysics to civilization that borders on the spiritual, so that when you stand out in the night sky and look up, do you say, ‘Well I’m small and the universe is big?” You might say that and it be true,  but a bigger fact is you are made of the same ingredients as those stars. We’re not just poetically, we are literally stardust that achieved consciousness to contemplate the extent of the universe in which we live.”
– Neil deGrasse Tyson, speaking with Ari Melber on MSNBC, Sept. 22, 2022

Random Quote:

“By early June the houses were inhabited, at the weekends at least, but I was still taking my duties quite seriously. For instance, at least once a day I’d go up the hill and conduct my usual surveillance through binoculars. First I’d monitor the houses, of course. In a sense, houses are living creatures that coexist with Man in exemplary symbiosis. My heart swelled with joy, for now it was plain to see that their symbionts had returned. They had filled the empty interiors with their comings and goings, the warmth of their own bodies, their thoughts. Their dainty hands were mending all the little cuts and bruises left by the winter, drying out the damp walls, washing the windows and fixing the ballcocks. Now the houses looked as if they had awoken from the deep sleep into which material sinks when it’s not disturbed. Plastic tables and chairs had already been carried into the front yards, the wooden shutters had been opened, and finally the Sunlight could get inside.”

- Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, p. 145, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
