“Dark energy is incredibly strange, but actually it makes sense to me that it went unnoticed, because dark energy has no effect on daily life, or even inside our solar system.”

We’re really just the frosting on a cake and we don’t know what’s inside the cake.

We know there is gravity because apples fall from trees.

It’s everywhere, really. It’s between the galaxies. It is in this room.

We can observe gravity in daily life. If we could throw an apple to the edge of the universe, we would observe it accelerating.

I think the mystery of what’s out there in the universe is just very compelling.

We believe that everywhere that you have space, empty space, that you cannot avoid having some of this dark energy.

So dark energy could not be seen until we could measure things very, very far away.

Until the 1990s, there were few reliable observations about movement at the scale of the entire universe, which is the only scale dark energy effects.

Your chemistry high school teacher lied to you when they told you that there was such a thing as a vacuum, that you could take space and move every particle out of it.

Enticing hope is like lighting candle in the dark room.

The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.

When there is spirit and light, the dark forces of whatever is hidden and suppressed – like hatred and separation – become more powerful.

Powers that be can’t stay in control if you have everybody in love and in tune with each other and with the planet, and in tune with the electrons and the dark matter that’s moving at the speed of light.

Sometimes we smile at a child thats afraid of the dark.

Someone asked me…how it felt and I was reminded of a story that a fellow-townsman of ours used to tell–Abraham Lincoln.

It’s everywhere, really. It’s between the galaxies. It is in this room.

Time that is moved by little fidget wheels Is not myTime, the flood that does not flow.
