You know what I believe? I remember in college I was taking this math class, this really great math class taught by this tiny old woman. She was talking about fast Fourier transforms and she stopped midsentence and said, ‘Sometimes it seems the universe wants to be noticed.’ That’s what I believe. I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is improbably biased toward consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it - or my observation of it - is temporary?

Sometimes you have to find your own way of understanding concepts, whether it’s mnemonics, pictures, acronyms.. or even poems. Yes, poems can be written in the wonderful world of science, though not as whimsical as Dr. Seuss, they do however, get the material down pat.
Wouldn’t you rather read a poem than figure this out?

Is it possible, finally, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another? We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close are we able to come to that person’s essence. We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?
