- A picture about Bragg's principle: "Everything in the future is a wave, everything in the past
is a particle".

[Quote attributed to Bragg in "Dynamical Solution to the Quantum
Measurement Problem, Causality, and the Paradoxes of the Quantum Century", by
V.P. Belavkin, Open Sys. and Information Dyn. 7: 101-129, 2000]

- A picture about Chris Freiling's principle: "Throwing darts at the real line" is a principle, not involving large
cardinals at all, from which ~CH [Continuum Hyp.] follows.

Freiling's paper: "Axioms of Symmetry: Throwing Darts at the Real Line", Journal of Symbolic Logic, 51, pages 190-200,
(1986).
