Quote by Alan H. Guth

Despite its name, the big bang theory is not really a theory of a bang at all. It is really only a theory of the aftermath of a bang.

Despite its name, the big bang theory is not really a theory

Summary

This quote highlights a common misconception about the big bang theory. It suggests that the theory itself is not focused on explaining the actual moment of the "bang" that initiated the universe, but rather focuses on the consequences and events that followed it. The big bang theory primarily explores the expansion, evolution, and development of the universe, rather than offering a detailed explanation of the initial event itself. It implies that the term "big bang" may be misleading when thinking about the full scope of the theory.

And wilt thou have me fashion into speechThe love I bear thee, finding words enough,And hold the torch out, while the winds are rough,Between our faces, to cast light on each? -I dropt it at thy feet. I cannot teachMy hand to hold my spirits so far offFrom myself--me--that I should bring thee proofIn words, of love hid in me out of reach.Nay, let the silence of my womanhoodCommend my woman-love to thy belief, -Seeing that I stand unwon, however wooed,And rend the garment of my life, in brief,By a most dauntless, voiceless fortitude,Lest one touch of this heart convey its grief.

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
