Some people try to tell me that science will never answer the big questions we have in life. To them I say: baloney! The real problem is your questions aren't big enough.

Teach a man to reason and he will think for a lifetime.

The Universe is cool enough without making up crap about it.

Just like people, stars can be important without being terribly bright.

A lot of them complain because they say the word denial puts them in the same bin as holocaust deniers. That's too bad. But the thing is, they do have something in common: a denial of evidence and of scientific consensus.

They say that even the brightest star won't shine forever. But in fact, the brightest star would live the shortest amount of time. Feel free to extract whatever life lesson you want from that.

Sixty-five million years ago the dinosaurs had a bad day.
