A unified theory would put us at the doorstep of a vast universe of things that we could finally explore with precision.

When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline's mass into energy, in accord with Einstein's formula.

When we benefit from CT scanners, M.R.I. devices, pacemakers and arterial stents, we can immediately appreciate how science affects the quality of our lives.

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.

Understanding requires insight. Insight must be anchored.

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

When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity to advanced high school students.
