The Fabrics of the Cosmos: Part 3

"Physicists spend a large part of their lives in a state of confusion... To excel in physicsis to embrace doubt while walking the winding road to clarity... en route to explanation... theorists must tread with considered step through the jungle of bewilderment, guided mostly by hunches, inklings, clues, and calculations.... nothing comes easily. Nature does not give up her secrets lightly" (470). This quote gives me a reason to be who I am and to love what I love. This quote gives me the reason to become a physicist, that there is still more out there to explore, for me and thousands of others to discover about life and the universe. We have so little time on this earth and it is amazing to me that people would dedicate their live to finding out about the cosmos. I can remember one night I was camping in the alps and I lay down and look at the stars and think To only think that star is right near the Constellation of Orion, is a solar system, with a sun and planets, just like ours that just like our sun and all the rest of the planets, we bend space and create gravity. And in there there are trillions upon trillions of atoms that too bend space. This is what this book means to me. It is more that just pages, but an opening and a way to show me into a different world. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone because maybe you too can be inspired.
