Metrics Quotes

• En los cielos descubrimos [las estrellas] por su luz, y sólo por su luz... la única prueba de la existencia de estos mundos distantes... que cada uno de ellos está formado por moléculas de los mismos tipos que encontramos en la Tierra. Una molécula de hidrógeno, por ejemplo, ya sea en Sirio o en Arcturus, ejecuta sus vibraciones exactamente al mismo tiempo. Así pues, cada molécula del universo lleva impreso el sello de un sistema métrico tan claramente como el metro de los Archivos de París o el codo real del Templo de Karnac.
