Breathe Brutus


“It is hard to appreciate the atomic hypothesis because atoms are so small and there are so many of them. For example, in your last breath, it is almost certain that you have inhaled at least one atom from the dying breath of Julius Caesar as he lamented, ‘Et tu, Brute.’”

- The Cosmic Code (1982), by Heinz Pagels


I don’t know whether to utter a “Whoa” a la Neo or cry out “Excellent” a la Ted, but something Keanu-ish (Keanu-ic? Keanic?) is called for here.
