From a cosmic point of view, the velocity of human thought is more or less fixed - attuned in sometimes useful ways to the velocity of an apple falling from a tree, to the rate of the Earth's spin, to the leaping speed of a predacious coyote, to the gentle passing of the seasons, to the wavelengths of visible light and audible sound. We are defined by these velocities, among others.
- James Gleick
