Even Hubble hasn't found yet the end of this universe, and we don't know that it has any end.

When my father died, those years when he was working on the Hubble came back to me, and it seemed fitting to imagine him as having somehow merged with the large mystery that the universe represents.

Hubble knows there is interesting stuff out there, but Hubble isn't quite big enough.

I wondered had I really oversold the Hubble. I have to admit that, since, I have been convinced that I didn't.

With the Hubble telescope and all the other things that are out there, I believe something would have come through. Today, I really believe we are unique.

When we see what the universe has to show us, we can go no further.

I don't know how anyone can see the Hubble 'Deep Field' image and not feel like something else is going about its business out there.

A unified theory would put us at the doorstep of a vast universe of things that we could finally explore with precision.

Observations indicate that the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate. It will expand forever, getting emptier and darker.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
