  1. 😬 Buďme rádi, jak naše soustava dnes vypadá! Podle simulací by třeba taková pátá terestriální planeta mezi Marsem a Jupiterem byla schopna vytlačit Merkur, Venuši, Uran a možná i Zemi ze Sluneční soustavy – a zničit život na naší planetě dřív, než by měl šanci vzniknout.

  2. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    Even the acquisition of knowledge is often much facilitated by the advantages of society: he that never compares his notions with those of others, readily acquiesces in his first thoughts, and very seldom discovers the objections which may be raised against his opinions; he, therefore, often thinks himself in possession of truth, when he is only fondling an errour long since exploded. He that has neither companions nor rivals in his studies, will always applaud his own progress, and think highly of his performances, because he knows not that others have equalled or excelled him. And I am afraid it may be added, that the student who withdraws himself from the world, will soon feel that ardour extinguished which praise or emulation had enkindled, and take the advantage of secrecy to sleep, rather than to labour.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1754-01-19), The Adventurer, No. 126
