About This Quote
The greatest mystery the universe offers is not life but size. When you think about it, size is one of the most important things in the universe. Life, for instance, can be quite complex. But size? Size is simply a matter of quantity.
A coffee cup will always be the same size because it’s made up of the same amount of coffee. So every time you take a drink of your coffee, you are taking an equal amount. Or, take a piece of bread that’s 1 inch thick.
That’s 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch or 1000 pieces that are all equal. Size is important because it tells you how much certain things are. But size isn’t ever-changing either.
Once you have an apple, it will always be an apple even if the size changes slightly over time.
