Julian Baggini Zitate

Science works because the phenomenon being described can be relied on to remain the same. Even in quantum physics, where phenomena are changed by observation, the way in which observation interferes is regular and falls within a limited range of possibilities. Human culture, however, has the nasty habit of never staying the same for very long.

Die Wissenschaft funktioniert, weil man sich darauf verlassen kann, dass das beschriebene Phänomen gleich bleibt. Selbst in der Quantenphysik, wo Phänomene durch Beobachtung verändert werden, ist die Art und Weise, wie Beobachtung interferiert, regelmäßig und fällt in einen begrenzten Bereich von Möglichkeiten. Die menschliche Kultur hat jedoch die unangenehme Angewohnheit, nie lange gleich zu bleiben.

My parents met because my father was an actor friend of one of my mom's brothers, but my mother has never set foot on the stage - she's quite shy. So it's a strange thing because people say, 'Oh, coming from acting parents,' when the idea of acting would literally make my mother just want to throw up.
