[The black hole] teaches us that space can be crumpled like a piece of paper into an infinitesimal dot, that time can be extinguished like a blown-out flame, and that the laws of physics that we regard as ’sacred,’ as immutable, are anything but.
- - John Archibald Wheeler in “Black Holes & Quantum Foam: A Life in Physics”.
Quoted in his New York Times Obituary, April 14, 2008.
