The Universe is Made of Stories, Not Atoms
Written on April 18, 2008 – 2:13 pm | by Paull Young
I was walking back to the office past the New York Library on one of New York’s first lovely April days when I spotted this on the sidewalk footpath.
Love it! I think I’ll print this photo and sit it on my desk. A mission statement of sorts for the new generation of PR professionals.

I can’t quite say why, but there’s something very captivating about that.

What a compelling find, thank you for sharing it with your readers. Does the blank space signify something or is it a picture of something? Maybe it’s there and I can’t see it.

I like it too Paull.
The logical next step of course is stories are made of sentences…Sentences are made of words…Words are made of letters…
I’m not really sure where that’s heading.
Hope things are going well for you. I’m heading to the Gold Coast for a conference in a few weeks, and I was thinking about our coffee up there the other day.
Lets chat soon, I’d love to hear how NYC is going.

I love this quote.
On an warmish/average aussie day (20 degree C), oxygen atoms are roaring past us at 478 m/sec.
Even better, the little Hydrogren suckers travel at nearly 2 km per sec. Great stuff.

I really like this. I am a firm believer that life is just a series of experiences. So it all makes sense if the universe is a series of stories. Was this part of a campaign to get kids to read more? Either way… AWESOME.
