In general, the larger the breeding population, the slower the rate of evolution.

I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence.

To a physicist, we have the 'I' word, the I-word is 'impossible.' That's dangerous.

It's pointless to have a nice clean desk, because it means you're not doing anything.

We've done a miserable job of preparing people for today's world, let alone tomorrow's.

Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.

Growing new organs of the body as they wear out, extending the human lifespan? What's not to like?

Restrictions on mobility will be removed as cars become driverless. We'll be chauffeured, basically.

Reality has always proved to be much more sophisticated and subtle than any preconceived philosophy.
