Original: Je suis catholique sincère comme l’ont été Corneille, Racine, La Bruyère, Bossuet, Bourdaloue, Fénelon ; comme l’ont été et le sont encore un grand nombre des hommes les plus distingués de notre époque, de ceux qui ont fait le plus d’honneur à la science, à la philosophie, à la littérature, qui ont le plus illustré nos académies. Je partage les convictions profondes qu'ont manifestées par leurs paroles, par leurs actions et par leurs écrits tant de savants de premier ordre , les Rutfini, les Haûy, les Laennec, les Ampère, les Pelletier, les Freycinet, les Coriolis; et si j'évite de nommer ceux qui restent, de peur de blesser leur modestie, je puis dire du moins que j'aimais à retrouver toute la noblesse, toute la générosité de la foi chrétienne dans mes illustres amis, dans le créateur de la cristallographie (le chanoine Haùy), dans le navigateur célèbre que porta l'Uranie (Claude-Marie de Freycinet), et dans l'immortel auteur de l'électricité dynamique (André-Marie Ampère)

“We detect light and particles that have traveled billions of light years on their way across the universe to us. During the billions of years of travel, very small effects due to quantum gravity can be amplified to the point that we can detect them.”

“Since the universe is infinitely old, you should see some very old stars. According to the big bang theory the universe is only 13 billion years old. No stars should be older than 13 billion years. In our cosmology, stars older than this should exist. So we are on the lookout for very old stars. We made some observations [a year ago] which we are still trying to explain but the simplest explanation seems to be that there stars that are 20 billion years old.”
