If you reject the infinite, you are stuck with the finite, and the finite is parochial... the best explanation of anything eventually involves universality, and therefore infinity. The reach of explanations cannot be limited by fiat.

The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.

Where we have good, testable explanations, they then have to be tested, and we drop the ones that fail the tests.

The overwhelming majority of theories are rejected because they contain bad explanations, not because they fail experimental tests.

No precautions, and no precautionary principle, can avoid problems that we do not yet foresee. We need a stance of problem-fixing, not just problem-avoidance.

Science is objective. And in my view we cannot take any experimental results seriously except in the light of good explanations of them.

Every problem that is interesting is also soluble.
