Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that’s been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.

I’ve seen children’s eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang.

The absolute worst thing that you ever can do, in my opinion, in bringing science to the general public, is be condescending or judgmental. It is so opposite to the way science needs to be brought forth.

Needs Opposites Way
Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent.

Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.

But can we really understand that or put rigorous mathematics or testable experiments against that? Not yet. So one of the big holy grail of physics is to understand why there is something rather than nothing.

I love it when real science finds a home in a fictional setting, where you take some real core idea of science and weave it through a fictional narrative in order to bring it to life, the way stories can. That’s my favorite thing.

To tell you the truth, I’ve never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it’s hard to say.

Claim Dimensions Three
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.

I believe that through its rational evaluation of truth and indifference to personal belief, science transcends religious and political divisions and so does bind us into a greater, more resilient whole.

String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space.

It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.

You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.
