The creation of the universe.

The creation of the universe.

"Among the many curious implications of Linde's theory, one stands out for our present purposes: It doesn't take all that much to create a universe. Resources on a cosmic scale are not required. It might even be possible for someone in a not terribly advanced civilization to cook up a new universe in a laboratory. Which leads to an arresting thought: Could that be how our universe came into being?"

"La tradition fârâbîenne

L'intellectuel collectif a sans doute été thématisé explicitement et pensé avec rigueur pour la première fois entre le Xe et le XIIe siècle, en milieu musulman, par une lignée de théosophes persans et juifs qui se référaient à une interprétation néo-platonicienne d'Aristote. Al-Fârâbî (872-950), Ibn Sina (l'Avicenne des traductions latines, 980-1037), Abû'l-Barakât al-Baghdâdî (mort en 1164) et Maïmonide (1135-1204) comptent parmi les principaux penseurs de cette tradition (1)."

9 inspiring thoughts from Bill Clinton on interconnectedness : TreeHugger

"Our consciousness, particular when under the kind of economic pressure we've been under, is still not where it needs to be to develop the solutions that are most-likely to work. What do I mean by that? If you want a future of shared responsibilities, shared opportunities and shared sense of community, you have to believe certain things. You have to believe that creative cooperation is better than constant conflict. You have to believe that we're all in this together. You have to believe that are differences are interesting, they make life more interesting. They are exciting, but our common humanity matters more. You have to be willing to look at science and let your eyes overcome your ideology."

"The symptoms of the current crises can be summarized in terms of three divides that disconnect self from the primary sources of life: ecological, social, and spiritual. The ecological divide manifests in symptoms like environmental destruction. We currently use 1.5 times the regeneration capacity of planet earth.  In other words, we actually use 1.5 planets! The social divide manifests in increasing rates of poverty, inequity, fragmentation and polarization. And the spiritual divide shows up in increased rates of burnout, depression and in an increasing disconnect of GDP from the actual well-being of people."
