GreekTTC Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I'm looking for quotes about astrophysics, space, life, interesting facts about the universe, etc. I'd like to find a place with many quotes on these topics all in one place, if possible. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 We have a "Quotes" thread here which we are hoping to turn into a regular feature (ie, display quotes at the top of the forums). But we can't claim to have a good list of quotes organized by the different branches of science... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a place to read quotes from scientists on the topics mentioned. For example, Kaku has GREAT quotes. If there were only a place to find his quotes and others' in his field all in one place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
