The history of science shows that great mysteries get solved. It may be that there’s an answer that humans are too stupid to understand. I’m intrigued by that possibility Picture Quote #1

When we try to look farther into the universe we come to what appears to be the end of space but actually it’s the beginning of time Picture Quote #1

Relativity. Gravity. Quantum. Electrodynamics. Evolution. Each of these theories is true, whether or not you believe in them Picture Quote #1

You have the illusion of free will, but, in fact, that illusion comes about because you don’t know the future. Because you are a prisoner of the present, forever locked in transition, between the past and the future Picture Quote #1

I want people to see that the cosmic perspective is simultaneously honest about the universe we live in and uplifting, when we realize how far we have come and how wonderful is this world of ours Picture Quote #1

The limits on your enlightenment come not from the age you stopped going to school but from the age you stopped being curious Picture Quote #1

We’re talking about a being whose very existence challenges our own sense of priority in the universe Picture Quote #1

I want to encourage people to not think in terms of gifts, but think in terms of, wow. You work hard to succeed at that, because that’s exactly what I do Picture Quote #1

We’re an elective democracy where science and technology will define where the economically strong countries in the world will be. And science and technological literacy is important for security, as well Picture Quote #1

Exploration is what you do when you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s what scientists do every day. If a scientist already knew what they were doing, they wouldn’t be discovering anything, because they already knew what they were doing Picture Quote #1
