Speculativity

One wave may be bigger than another, but it is not wetter.

Memory is a crazy woman that hoards colored rags and throws away food.

Time, distance, weight, etc., all those qualities (mental states, hypothetical constructs) which give extention to the otherwise groundless ego, are merely lapses, pauses, outright errors in the nature of thought. If everything occurred perfectly — if a person's perceptions were perfect — the universe would be instantaneous, weightless, and eternal!

Only because the sun is so large is its total production of energy so enormous. Pound for pound, the sun actually produces less heat than the human body.
Sun = 2 calories/pound
Human body = 10 calories/pound

Paraphrase of Hubble:
Every place is the center of the expansion in regard to the universe.

Mountains and ocean beds are the youngest portions of the Earth. Flat central plate regions are the oldest. High and low tend to become level with the passage of time — gravity is actually horizontal. It stretches outward on the dish of the Earth and the bowl of the sky and not (concave) an inward, downward force on the old spherical Earth.

When you concentrate on doing some act, you cannot at the same instant "think about" that act. The "sphere of consciousness" slides about the mind examining any other element(s) but cannot at the same instant examine itself (the sphere of consciousness as it is then constituted). This "sphere of consciousness" may be constituted of varying numbers and relations of "mind" elements.

People on the bottom should be better than people on the top, or there's no hope for mankind.
