“You can’t say A is made of B or vice versa. All mass is interaction.”

Quantum mechanics describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is – absurd.

Everything is made of atoms.

For those who want some proof that physicists are human, the proof is in the idiocy of all the different units which they use for measuring energy.

Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty – some most unsure, some nearly sure, none absolutely certain.

I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.

That was a very good way to get educated, working on the senior problems and learning how to pronounce things.

If I could explain it to the average person, I wouldn’t have been worth the Nobel Prize.

Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning.

I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There are no miracle people. It happens they get interested in this thing and they learn all this stuff, but they’re just people.

How much do you value life? Sixty-four.

The game I play is a very interesting one. It’s imagination, in a tight straightjacket.

In the 20th century philosophy of time for a great many theorists became part of science because it was time as is studied in physics that became the object of philosophical speculation. That’s very different from the way time has normally been understood.

I entertain no doubts as to the truths of the tranfinites, which I recognized with God’s help and which, in their diversity, I have studied for more than twenty years; every year, and almost every day brings me further in this science.

The transfinite numbers are in a sense the new irrationalities they stand or fall with the finite irrational numbers.

Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think.

You have to understand your own personal DNA. Don’t do things because I do them or Steve Jobs or Mark Cuban tried it. You need to know your personal brand and stay true to it.

We are not trapped in what the science of management says we can do. We are capable of doing what the art of leadership says is possible.

Science, in the broadest sense, includes all reasonable claims to knowledge about ourselves and the world.

What’s needed today, now, more than ever, is ‘Star Peace’ for there is an ominous, mutual threat to all science fiction. It’s called ‘Twilight’. And it is really, really bad.
