“فالسعى إلى رضا عن فهم الكون هو من الأشياء النادرة التى تسمو بالإنسان فوق مستوى الترهات ،وتنعم عليه بشىء من شرف المشاركة فى هذه المسرحية المأساوية .”
― Steven Weinberg, quote from The First Three Minutes: A Modern View Of The Origin Of The Universe


“في البدء ، حدث انفجار ، لكنه ليس انفجارا كالذي يمكن ان نشاهده على الأرض ، (فهذا الانفجار الأخير ينطلق من مركز معين ويمتد حتى يشمل حجما متزايدا من الهواء المحيط به) وإنما هو انفجار حدث في كل مكان وفي آن واحد”
― Steven Weinberg, quote from The First Three Minutes: A Modern View Of The Origin Of The Universe


“النظرية القياسية"
مما يثير اهتمامنا في نهاية هذه النظرية هو أننا نستطيع ان نقول بالضبط كيف كان الكون في نهاية الثانية الأولى . إن اطمئنان الفيزيائي يأتي من أنه يستطيع معالجة هذه المسائل حتى الجانب العددي منها ، وأنه يستطيع أن يذكر لنا درجة حرارة الكون في هذه اللحظة أو تلك ، وكثافته ، ومسلكه الكيماوي ... ليس لدينا يقين مطلق في هذا المجال إلا أنه من المثير حقا أن نعتقد أنا نستطيع الآن أن نتحدث عن هذه القضايا بشيء من الطمأنينة..”

“Fine Structure Constant: Fundamental numerical constant of atomic physics and quantum electrodynamics, defined as the square of the charge of the electron divided by the product of Planck's constant and the speed of light.”
― Steven Weinberg, quote from The First Three Minutes: A Modern View Of The Origin Of The Universe



“Si no hay alivio en los frutos de nuestra investigación, hay al menos algún consuelo en la investigación misma. Los hombres no se contentan con consolarse mediante cuentos de dioses y gigantes, o limitando sus pensamientos a los asuntos cotidianos de la vida. También construyen telescopios, satélites y aceleradores, y se sientan en sus escritorios durante horas interminables tratando de discernir el significado de los datos que reúnen. El esfuerzo para comprender el Universo es una de las pocas cosas que eleva la vida humana por sobre el nivel de la farsa y le imprime algo de la elevación de la tragedia.”
― Steven Weinberg, quote from The First Three Minutes: A Modern View Of The Origin Of The Universe

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
