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

...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance.

No matter how hard you try to teach your cat general relativity, you're going to fail.

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

I may be a Jewish scientist, but I would be tickled silly if one day I were reincarnated as a Baptist preacher.

Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you've built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink.

Before the discovery of quantum mechanics, the framework of physics was this: If you tell me how things are now, I can then use the laws of physics to calculate, and hence predict, how things will be later.
