Andrew O'Hagan Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wir vergessen manchmal, dass menschliche Erfindungen auch Gegenstand menschlicher Erfindungen sein können: Dies mag eine moderne oder postmoderne Vorstellung sein, aber Romanschriftsteller haben sich Zeit genommen - manchmal haben sie sich von ihren realistischen Fixierungen Zeit genommen -, um die Sprache und die Macht, die wir haben, zu beschaffen und zu satirisieren sich verlassen auf.

Today's particle physics describe light as a crumple in space, and we may have deformed space in such a way that they noticed something peculiar - and they had the ability to investigate it.

I am usually a fun-loving person, and I say most of the things in a jest. Sometimes I get in trouble, but over a period of time, I think people now realise that most of the things I say are in jest.

The years of space flight since the orbiting of Sputnik I back in 1957 had produced many fascinating results, but they had also brought a realization of the many problems that surrounded the use of rockets for space flight.
