Quote by Michio Kaku

In some sense, gravity does not exist; what moves the planets and the stars is the distortion of space and time.

In some sense, gravity does not exist; what moves the planet

Summary

This quote suggests that gravity, as traditionally understood, does not actually exist. Instead, it proposes that objects in space are propelled by the bending or warping of the fabric of spacetime itself. Rather than a force, the movement of planets and stars is attributed to the influence of the distortion caused by massive objects, creating the illusion of gravitational effects. This perspective challenges the conventional notion of gravity and promotes a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of the fundamental properties of space and time.

The prophet who fails to present a bearable alternative and yet preaches doom is part of the trap that he postulates. Not only does he picture us caught in a tremendous man-made or God-made trap from which there is no escape, but we must also listen to him day in, day out, describe how the trap is inexorably closing. To such prophecies the human race, as presently bred and educated and situated, is incapable of listening. So some dance and some immolate themselves as human torches; some take drugs and some artists spill their creativity in sets of randomly placed dots on a white ground.

Among the very rich you will never find a really generous man, even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egoistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.
