In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity. Quantum mechanics, that big, new, spectacular remarkable idea is that you only predict probabilities, the likelihood of one outcome or another. That's the new idea.

The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.

The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.

There's no way that scientists can ever rule out religion, or even have anything significant to say about the abstract idea of a divine creator.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that's been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.
