Quote by Robert Woodrow Wilson

Cosmology is a science which has only a few observable facts to work with.

Cosmology is a science which has only a few observable facts

Summary

This quote suggests that cosmology, the study of the origin, structure, and evolution of the universe, faces limitations due to its reliance on a limited amount of observable facts. Cosmologists often have to work with patterns, data, and evidence gathered from the observable universe to construct models and theories about the larger cosmic reality. As our understanding of the universe is based on what can be observed and measured, the capabilities of cosmology to provide definitive answers and explanations may be bound to the available evidence at any given time.

We didn't care if we were well-liked as long as the movies were good. We served the movie - that was our master at Miramax. In our second incarnation, the movie is still the master but we're getting the same results in more subtle ways.
