I went off to college planning to major in math or philosophy-- of course, both those ideas are really the same idea.

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

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

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

An ordinary mistake is one that leads to a dead end, while a profound mistake is one that leads to progress. Anyone can make an ordinary mistake, but it takes a genius to make a profound mistake.

Why is there something rather than nothing?

I believe that everything you've said is not even wrong.
