My friends, you have seen this incident, based on sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn't happen? Perhaps on your way home, ...someone will pass you in the dark. And you will never know it, for they will be from outer space. Many scientists believe that another world is watching us this moment. We once laughed at the horseless carriage, the airplane, the telephone, the electric light, vitamins, radio and even television. And now some of us laugh at outer space. God help us in the future.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Greetings, my friends. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. ...And remember, my friends, future events such as these will effect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown, the mysterious, the unexplainable. That is why you are here. And now for the first time we are bringing to you the full story of what happened on that fateful day. We are giving you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimony of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places, my friends, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty, let us reward the innocent. My friends, can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave-robbers from outer space?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Though most of us don't hunt, our eyes are still the great monopolists of our senses. To taste or touch your enemy or your food, y...ou have to be unnervingly close to it. To smell or hear it, you can risk being further off. But vision can rush through the fields and up the mountains, travel across time, country, and parsecs of outer space, and collect bushel baskets of information as it goes. Animals that hear high frequencies better than we do--bats and dolphins, for instance--seem to see richly with their ears, hearing geographically, but for us the world becomes most densely informative, most luscious, when we take it in through our eyes. It may even be that abstract thinking evolved from our eyes' elaborate struggle to make sense of what they saw. Seventy percent of the body's sense receptors cluster in the eyes, and it is mainly through seeing the world that we appraise and understand it. Lovers close their eyes when they kiss because, if they didn't, there would be too many visual distractions to notice and analyze.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
At the rate science proceeds, rockets and missiles will one day seem like buffalo--slow, endangered grazers in the black pasture o...f outer space.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We've only just begun to learn about the water and its secrets, just as we've only touched on outer space. We don't entirely rule ...out the possibility that there might be some form of life on another planet. Then why not some entirely different form of life in a world we already know is inhabited by millions of living creatures?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to... where we came from.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Just like those other black holes from outer space, Hollywood is postmodern to this extent: it has no center, only a spreading dea...d zone of exhaustion, inertia, and brilliant decay.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science--to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about t...he earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
