I like 'The Simpsons' quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It's great.

In any finite region of space, matter can only arrange itself in a finite number of configurations, just as a deck of cards can be arranged in only finitely many different orders. If you shuffle the deck infinitely many times, the card orderings must necessarily repeat.

All you are is a bag of particles acting out the laws of physics. That to me is pretty clear.

I was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, 'Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.' And she turned to me and said, 'Daddy, universe or multiverse?'

Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent.
