When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It’s like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?

Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There’s something wrong with a society that drives a car to work out in a gym.

I say to the grown-ups, ‘If you want to deny evolution and live in your world that’s completely inconsistent with everything we’ve observed in the universe that’s fine. But don’t make your kids do it.’

In another couple centuries I’m sure that worldview won’t even exist. There’s no evidence for it.
