Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

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?'

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

But if you think about a practical implication of enriching your life and giving you a sense of being part of a larger cosmos and possibly being able to use this [gravitational waves] as a tool in the future maybe to listen not just to black holes colliding, but maybe listen to the big bang itself, those kind of applications may happen in the not too distant future.

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

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