When religion talks about our aspirations and our sense of morality, I do not believe that science can contradict it. However, when religion contradicts science on matters of fact, religion must yield.

Why is there something rather than nothing?

In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself - nature does it for you.

If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake.

I'm convinced that art and science activate the same parts of the brain.

The brain rewards us for interacting with beautiful things. In this way, evolution wants to encourage us to do what is good for us.
