Science, 1985
The farthest of the galaxies that can be seen through the large ground-based telescopes of modern astronomy, such as those on La Palma in the Canary Islands, are so far away that they appear as they did close to the time of the origin of the universe, perhaps some 10 billion years ago.

This chapter first distinguishes five challenges for ultimate explanations: epistemological, metaphysical, thermodynamic, causal, and that of infinities. In a Kantian manner, I then turn the question of the origin upside down and ask: What do we cognitively expect to be a satisfying answer to the ultimate origin of the universe?

The origins of research into the origins of life
Endeavour, 2006Most scientists at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century chose to ignore the question of the origin of life on Earth, regarding it as too mysterious and complex to handle. Yet, in the early 1950s an experimental field devoted to the study of the problem made its first steps. The pioneering theories of several scientists in the first

Meteoritics, 1958
Abstract— The origin of tektites has been obscure because of the following dilemma. The application of physical principles to the data available on tektites points strongly to origin from one or more lunar volcanoes; but few glasses of tektite composition have hitherto been reported from the lunar samples.
