Science is primarily an investigation of our place of the Universe — the place that people occupy in a world which ranges from the tiniest subatomic particles to the furthest reaches of space and time. We do not exist in isolation, and science is a human cultural activity, not a purely dispassionate striving after truth, no matter how hard we might try. It is all about where we came from, and where we are going. And it is the most exciting story ever told.

- John Gribbin, in Almost Everyone’s Guide to Science: The Universe, Life and Everything

It really is the most exciting story ever told.

Christina Perri - Arms

This is one of the “happier” songs from her emotastic album, Lovestrong. Good for cheesy, late-night HOHOL moments with your labidabs. BAD for sleepless nights alone in your room contemplating what you could have done terribly wrong to deserve all the shit that is happening in your sick, sad life right now.
