"The fallacy originated from the unhesitating belief of Müller that Christianity and Europe blossomed forth ahead of the growth of any civilization at any point of time in human history. All his efforts were in tune with the resurrection of those lost kins. As he spoke in the Hibbert lecture series on 21 June 1878, ‘I hope the time will come when the subterranean area of human religion will be rendered more and more accessible,… and that the Science of Religion, which at present is but a desire and a seed, will in time become a fulfillment and a plenteous harvest. When that time of harvest has come, when the deepest foundations of all the religions of the world have been laid free and restored’. Of course, his other labour of love was, to explain his critics that his efforts are actually dedicated towards Christianity—‘I feel very certain, that this translation of the Sacred Books of the East , which some of the good people here consider most objectionable, will do a great deal towards lifting Christianity into its high historical position’. Müller wrote to lady Welby on July 27, 1879."

"In a letter dated 5 January 1883, he wrote—‘I saw the other day that some Buddhists in Japan meant to start what they call a „Bible Society“ for printing and distributing portions of the Tripitaka. I prefer to speak of „Sacred Books.“ Strictly speaking, “Sacred Books” are such only as have received some canonical sanction, and form a body of writings to which nothing could be added. They need not be considered of Divine origin or revealed, but they must have been formally recognized as authoritative by a religious body or their representatives’."

"These Sacred Books of the East will become in future the foundation of a short but universal religion."

"In a letter dated 4 September 1881, he wrote to B. Malabari, an Indian poet and social reformer, on his perceived influence that Hibbert lectures would have on Indian minds—‘the views put forward in my Hibbert lectures are the result of the studies which have not ignored any one of the objections raised against religion whether in England or in India…There is no religion which does not contain some truth, none which contains the whole truth…The first duty which every student of religion has to perform is to make himself acquainted with the books on which each religion claims to be founded. Hence my publication of the Sacred Books of the East , i.e. of the world, for all religions comes from the East’."

"It was in the 1880s that Max Müller ’s arch-rival at Oxford, Monier-Williams , began to move away from his previously liberal position on ‘Oriental’ religions and to become increasingly critical of the ‘limp-wristed comparative scholarship’ exemplified by Müller’s Sacred Books, a project which he denounced in 1887 as an ‘unmanly’ example of ‘jelly-fish tolerance’."

"Words are like numbers, if you say 2, you mean 2. You don't mean 3."

"You'll never learn medicine with books or without them."

"It has been a long-standing challege for to construct a theory of quantum gravity. String theory is the leading candidate for a quantum theory of gravity. General Relativity has the seeds of its own destruction in it, since smooth can evolve into singular field configurations ... Classically this is not a problem if the singularities are hidden behind s ... since this means that nothing can come out from the region containing the singularity. However, Hawking showed, under very general assumptions, that quantum mechanics implies that black holes emit particles ... In his approximation this radiation is exactly thermal and contains no information about the state of the black hole. This leads to the , since particles can fall in carrying information but what comes out is featureless thermal radiation ... Hawking argued that this would lead to non-unitary evolution, so that one of the basic principles of quantum mechanics would have to be modified."

"In most situations, the contradictory requirements of quantum mechanics and general relativity are not a problem, because either the quantum effects or the gravitational effects are so small that they can be neglected or dealt with by approximations. When the of spacetime is very large, however, the quantum aspects of gravity become significant. It takes a very large or a great concentration of mass to produce much spacetime curvature. Even the curvature produced near the sun is exceedingly small compared with the amount needed for quantum gravity effects to become apparent. Though these effects are completely negligible now, they were very important in the beginning of the big bang, which is why a quantum theory of gravity is needed to describe how the big bang started. Such a theory is also important for understanding what happens at the center of black holes, because matter there is crushed into a region of extremely high curvature. Because gravity involves spacetime curvature, a quantum gravity theory will also be a theory of quantum spacetime ..."

"These of are very powerful. Let us recall the situation in flat space. If we have a massive in flat space then we can always boost to a . In AdS it is the same: if we consider the oscillating trajectory of a massive particle then we can "boost" to a frame where the particle is at rest. Thus, the moving particle does not know that is moving and, despite appearances, there is no "center" in AdS. The is part of the (as in the ) and there are several choices of Hamiltonian. Once we choose a Hamiltonian ... then we have chosen a "center" and a notion of the , in which a particle sits at this "center.""

"Interestingly, both quantum entanglement and s date back to two articles written by Albert Einstein and his collaborators in 1935. On the surface, the papers seem to deal with very different phenomena, and Einstein probably never suspected that there could be a connection between them. In fact, entanglement was a property of quantum mechanics that greatly bothered the German physicist, who called it How ironic that it now may offer a to extend his relativity theory to the quantum realm."

"... spacetime as a concept leads to some … where the equations fail. This happens in the interiors of the black holes when spacetime somehow collapses ... And, also, most importantly it happened in the beginning of the Big Bang."

"If you go through the pain and survive, then it becomes very good. That's something money can't buy."

"At the end of the day, I stayed so true to myself. And the person that I am, intrinsically, I guess, is also interesting pala to other people—I just had to wait it out."

"All of us have that within us. You know, you don't need to become another person to be interesting. The people or the world is just not ready yet. But there will come a time when the world is ready to meet you, and then you realize, everything has paid off."

"“We all know that scent, for instance, is linked to memory and brings us back to a different time.""

"This freedom of fixing my own schedule; of saying, 'No, I'm not going to work today, I'm going to go to the park. I'm not going to write today; I'll spend the day in a museum.' I have that big liberty now and I am relishing every minute of it."

"We're literally required to be on set for more than 24 hours—I went through all of that. And yet, we are underrepresented on the global stage, and that is because we don't have a sense of ourselves. We don't have a culture that represents us. We're not proud of the culture that we have. And we don't represent well in our films because every budget, I feel, for now at least, is just something to tide you over until the next one. But it shouldn't be viewed that way.""

"I feel like that is taken so lightly nowadays. Something that people take for granted. They're just happy to attach their name to something or they don't care if the project came out well or if the project actually is nice. So maybe it's time. We've all gone through a global pandemic. Maybe it's time now to really take things seriously again and to really think about what we put out there."

"I would love now to see what I can do— not just in my comfort zone."

"Obviously, everyone has big dreams, but I don't want to think about it, yet. Maybe in 10 years, I would have achieved something already, toward that direction. Or maybe not. Maybe I have a family and I just settled down and I'm done with all of it. We don't know."
