When you see reference to a new paradigm you should always, under all circumstances, take cover. because ever since the great tulipmania in 1637, speculation has always been covered by a new paradigm. there was never a paradigm so new and so wonderful as the one that covered john law and the south sea bubble - until the day of disaster.

The religious paradigm and the science fiction paradigm are different. apologies to science fiction fans, but the paradigm there is to create a new world and describe it with a kind of specificity that we describe the world we inhabit. religiosity, on the other hand, does none of that.

The most revolutionary aspect of technology is its mobility. anybody can learn it. it jumps easily over barriers of race and language. ... the new technology of microchips and computer software is learned much faster than the old technology of coal and iron. it took three generations of misery for the older industrial countries to master the technology of coal and iron. the new industrial countries of east asia, south korea, and singapore and taiwan, mastered the new technology and made the jump from poverty to wealth in a single generation.

Given our inevitably incomplete knowledge about key structural aspects of our ever-changing economy and the sometimes asymmetric costs or benefits of particular outcomes, a central bank... need to consider not only the most likely future path for the economy but also the distribution of possible outcomes about that path. they then need to reach a judgment about the probabilities, costs, and benefits of the various possible outcomes under alternative choices for policy.

Jesus went into the temple and boldly drove out those that bought and sold. and when all was cleared, there was nobody left but jesus. observe this, for it is the same with us: when he is alone he is able to speak in the temple of the soul. if anyone else is speaking in the temple of your soul, jesus will keep still, as if he were not at home. and he is not at home wherever there are strange guests-guests with whom the soul holds conversation, guests who are seeking to bargain. if jesus is to speak and be heard, the soul must be alone and quiet.

The historian of science may be tempted to claim that when paradigms change, the world itself changes with them. led by a new paradigm, scientists adopt new instruments and look in new places. even more important, during revolutions, scientists see new and different things when looking with familiar instruments in places they have looked before. it is rather as if the professional community had been suddenly transported to another planet where familiar objects are seen in a different light and are joined by unfamiliar ones as well.

A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended is its area of applicability. therefore the deep impression which classical thermodynamics made upon me. it is the only physical theory of universal content concerning which i am convinced that within the framework of the applicability of its basic concepts, it will never be overthrown.

From an entertainment point of view, the solar system has been a bust. none of the planets turns out to have any real-estate potential, and most of them are probably even useless for filming dune sequels.

It was basic research in the photoelectric field-in the photoelectric effect that would one day lead to solar panels. it was basic research in physics that would eventually produce the cat scan. the calculations of today's gps satellites are based on the equations that einstein put to paper more than a century ago.

It is much better to learn the elements of geology, of botany, or ornithology and astronomy by word of mouth from a companion than dully from a book.
