Sublime

According to the principles of quantum mechanics, anything that can move does move, spontaneously. As a result, the distance between two points fluctuates. Upon combining general relativity with quantum mechanics, we calculate that space is a kind of quivering Jell-O, in constant motion.

The Feynman technique is a powerful mental model for self-development. It forces you to strip away unnecessary complexity, distil a concept to its purest essence, and develop a rich, in-depth understanding of whatever discipline you seek to master.

Any great discovery of a new law is useful only if we can take more out than we put in.

No history of the subject would be complete without some reference to the semi-legendary, almost anonymous Murphy[d.][xiv] (floreat circa 1940?) who chose to disguise his genius by stating a fundamental Systems Theorem in commonplace, almost pedestrian terminology. This Law, known to schoolboys the world over as Jelly-bread always falls jelly side
