Nothing can create something all the time due to the laws of quantum mechanics, and it's - it's fascinatingly interesting.

Now, almost one hundred years later, it is difficult to fully appreciate how much our picture of the universe has changed in the span of a single human lifetime. As far as the scientific community in 1917 was concerned, the universe was static and eternal, and consisted of a one single galaxy, our Milky Way, surrounded by vast, infinite, dark, and empty space. This is, after all, what you would guess by looking up at the night sky with your eyes, or with a small telescope, and at the time there was little reason to suspect otherwise.

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: you are all stardust.

I can't prove that God doesn't exist, but I'd much rather live in a universe without one.

You shouldn't be afraid of science. Accepting the reality of nature makes life more exciting and even more precious.

The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.

Organized religion, wielding power over the community, is antithetical to the process of what modern democracy should define as liberty. The sooner we are without it, the better.
