I believe the process of going from confusion to understanding is a precious, even emotional, experience that can be the foundation of self-confidence.

We're on this planet for the briefest of moments in cosmic terms, and I want to spend that time thinking about what I consider the deepest questions.

String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space.

The universe is incredibly wondrous, incredibly beautiful, and it fills me with a sense that there is some underlying explanation that we have yet to fully understand. If someone wants to place the word 'God' on those collections of words, it's OK with me.

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.

Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.
