Inherently Unstable

On This Day In History
1942: Michael Crichton is born

Quote Of The Day
"Living systems are never in equilibrium. They are inherently unstable. They may seem stable, but they're not. Everything is moving and changing. In a sense, everything is on the edge of collapse."
(Michael Crichton)

Bonus Quote Of The Day
"The only constant in life is change."
(Heraclitus)

Robots are bound to malfunction and kill their masters. Captive dinosaurs are bound to eat their captors. Alien bacteria is bound to find its way to Earth and wipe out humanity. Mountain gorillas are bound to kill diamond hunters who enter their secret abode. Like Dr. Ian Malcolm, I expect Michael Crichton would probably say, "I hate being right all the time."

"Anything passes when you need glasses."
