It's cloaked in cultural mumbo jumbo, but I assure you that it is very hard science.

The world' is man's experience as it appears to, and is moulded by, his ego. It is that less abundant life, which is lived according to the dictates of the insulated self. It is nature denatured by the distorting spectacles of our appetites and revulsions. It is the finite divorced from the Eternal. It is multiplicity in isolation from its non-dual Ground. It is time apprehended as one damned thing after another. It is a system of verbal categories taking the place of the fathomlessly beautiful and mysterious particulars which constitute reality. It is a notion labelled 'God'. It is the Universe equated with the words of our utilitarian vocabulary.

Aldous Huxley

Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.

William Penn

Ese mismo año, un grupo de astrónomos encabezado por Cornell H. Mayer recibió ondas deradio procedentes de Venus y quedó atónito al ver que la intensidad de esas ondas equivalía a la quecabía esperar de un objeto mucho más caliente de lo que se creía que era Venus. De ser eso cierto, nopodría haber océano planetario en Venus; de hecho, no podía haber agua líquida de ninguna clase (y asíse echó a perder mi pobre novela, que sólo hacía dos años que había sido publicada).
