I think it's a problem that people are considered immoral if they're not religious. That's just not true. If you do something for a religious reason, you do it because you'll be rewarded in an afterlife or in this world. That's not quite as good as something you do for purely generous reasons.

We certainly don't yet know all the answers. But the universe is about to be pried open.

When I was in school I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective.

When people try to use religion to address the natural world, science pushes back on it, and religion has to accommodate the results. Beliefs can be permanent, but beliefs can also be flexible. Personally, if I find out my belief is wrong, I change my mind. I think that's a good way to live.

It's hubris to think that the way we see things is everything there is.

You can be only a modest distance away from the gravity brane, and gravity will be incredibly weak.
