“We need to develop a better descriptive vocabulary for lying, a taxonomy, a way to distinguish intentional lies from unintentional ones, and a way to distinguish the lies that the liar himself believes in â€� a way to signal those lies that could be more accurately described as dreams. Lies â€� they make for a tidy little psychological Doppler effect, tell us more about a liar than an undistorted self-report ever could.”
Rivka Galchen, Atmospheric Disturbances

“Physics advances by accepting absurdities. Its history is one of unbelievable ideas proving to be true.”
Rivka Galchen

“I’m interested in [meteorology], but I’m more interested in gross misappropriations of the authoritative language of science. It feels rife with clarity, and yet you don’t understand what it means. And I think that’s beautiful.”
Rivka Galchen
