From "The Kybalion" by The Three Initiates - "And if Man, owing to half-wisdom, acts and lives and thinks of the Universe as merely a dream (akin to his own finite dreams) then indeed does it so become for him, and like a sleep-walker he stumbles ever around and around in a circle, making no progress, and being forced into an awakening at last by his falling bruised and bleeding over the Natural Laws which he ignored. Keep your mind ever on the Star, but let your eyes watch over your footsteps, lest you fall into the mire by reason of your upward gaze. Remember the Divine Paradox, that while the Universe IS NOT, still IT IS. Remember ever the Two Poles of Truth the Absolute and the Relative. Beware of Half-Truths."

I don’t think I’ve posted this yet! An old piece from grad school.

Pistol shrimp, or snapping shrimp, have a disproportionately large claw from where it derives its name. As a defense mechanism and for hunting, when the claw closes with a quick snap, it emits a bubble. This bubble, upon bursting, causes an extremely powerful sound wave (sonic boom!) which can kill small fish and stun larger ones.

From "A World Without Time: The Forgotten Legacy of Godel and Einstein" by Palle Yourgrau {"Gödel...felt most secure when he had formulated a problem in symbolic, mathematical terms. “If you had a particular problem in mind,” wrote Taussky-Todd, “he would start by writing it down in symbols.” Yet Gödel also believed, famously, that in mathematics too there are intuitions (a doctrine for which logicians still have not forgiven him)."}
