Solar Magnetic Quotes & Sayings

You know we're in a planet surrounded by certain kinds of frequencies and noise. The earth's magnetic sphere makes weird sounds. The sun you know the heart of our solar system makes noise. Even interstellar phenomena like black holes. You know people have studied them and a black hole can emit sound in like the range of 20,000 octaves below B flat. — DJ Spooky

Being a writer-director can sometimes make you incredibly blinkered. — Anthony Minghella

You're not just looking up into a curtain of black. You're looking into the eye of the universe.

This physical conception is to be presented through calculation and geometry. — Johannes Kepler

After dinner, Edwart took me upstairs to see his room. At the top of the stairs was a giant wooden cross.
"Ironic, huh?" Edwart said.
"Why?" I asked with trepidation, imagining that, at any second, Edwart would turn into dust, which I would then sweep up and disperse over my furniture so he would always be with me.
