• Time dilates as the speed of light approaches. To the extent that light consists of particles, it is in its own way timeless.
  Through simple perturbations of the temporal manifold, we can refract or repel photons most efficiently....
• We have reached an informational threshold which can only be crossed by harnessing the speed of light directly.
  The quickest computations require the fastest possible particles moving along the shortest paths....

• Remember, genes are NOT blueprints. This means you can't, for example, insert "the genes for an elephant's trunk" into a giraffe and get a giraffe with a trunk.
  There -are- no genes for trunks. What you CAN do with genes is chemistry, since DNA codes for chemicals....
• To map the very stuff of life; to look into the genetic mirror and watch a million generations march past.
  That, friends, is both our curse and our proudest achievement....
• Time travel in the classic sense has no place in rational theory, but temporal distortion does exist on the quantum level, and more importantly it can be controlled.

• There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge
  and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries....
• The substructure of the universe regresses infinitely towards smaller and smaller components.
  Behind atoms we find electrons, and behind electrons quarks....
• What actually transpires beneath the veil of an event horizon?
  Decent people shouldn't think too much about that....
