Summary

This quote suggests that the imagination is driven by emotions that are not under the direct influence or control of one's conscious mind. It implies that the subconscious or unconscious mind plays a significant role in shaping and fueling the creative and imaginative processes. Rather than being a product of deliberate thought, the imagination draws upon deep-seated emotions and feelings that may not always be fully understood or harnessed by the conscious mind.

In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. Indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. Future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. They will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe......We live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time.
