If anyone wants a hole in the ground, nuclear explosives can make big holes

Today, nothing is unusual about a scientific discovery's being followed soon after by a technical application: The discovery of electrons led to electronics; fission led to nuclear energy. But before the 1880's, science played almost no role in the advances of technology. For example, James Watt developed the first efficient steam engine long before science established the equivalence between mechanical heat and energy.

U.S. has lost a battle more important and greater than Pearl Harbor.

No endeavor that is worthwhile is simple in prospect; if it is right, it will be simple in retrospect.

In the theater you create a moment, but in that moment, there is a touch, a twinkle of eternity. And not just eternity, but community. . . . That connection is a sense of life for me.

I claim that relativity and the rest of modern physics is not complicated. It can be explained very simply. It is only unusual or, put another way, it is contrary to common sense.

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
