Science Quotes by Tom Stoppard (1)

We were quite happy with Aristotle's cosmos. Personally, I preferred it. Fifty-five crystal spheres geared to God’s crankshaft is my idea of a satisfying universe. I can’t think of anything more trivial than the speed of light. Quarks, quasars—big bangs and black holes—who [cares]?
— Tom Stoppard
In the play, Acadia (1993), 61.
