Physicist John A. Wheeler dies at 96 - Houston Chronicle:

"In his 1998 autobiography, 'Geons, Black Holes & Quantum Foam: A Life in Physics,' he wrote that 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.'"
