A watch worn by a particle of light would not tick at all. Light realizes the dreams of Ponce de Leon and the cosmetics industry: it doesn’t age.

For most people, the major hurdle in grasping modern insights into the nature of the universe is that these developments are usually phrased using mathematics.

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

I like ‘The Simpsons’ quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It’s great.

We’re on this planet for the briefest of moments in cosmic terms, and I want to spend that time thinking about what I consider the deepest questions.

So many galaxies, so many planets out there in the universe circling so many stars… it just feels like there’s a very good chance that there is another Earth-like planet out there that is able to support some kind of life similar to what we’re familiar with.

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

The strings of string theory are vibrating the particles, vibrating the forces of nature into existence, those vibrations are sort of like musical notes. So string theory, if it’s correct, would be playing out the score of the universe.

Quantum mechanics, that big, new, spectacular remarkable idea is that you only predict probabilities, the likelihood of one outcome or another. That’s the new idea.

The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.

Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules… Mathematicians are more like classical composers.

In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter.

I would say in one sentence my goal is to at least be part of the journey to find the unified theory that Einstein himself was really the first to look for.

Cosmology is among the oldest subjects to captivate our species. And it’s no wonder. We’re storytellers, and what could be more grand than the story of creation?

Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.
