Imagine a world in which we are all enlightened by objective truths rather than offended by them.

The most accessible field in science, from the point of view of language, is astrophysics. What do you call spots on the sun? Sunspots. Regions of space you fall into and you don’t come out of? Black holes. Big red stars? Red giants. So I take my fellow scientists to task. He’ll use his word, and if I understand it, I’ll say, “Oh, does that mean da-da-da-de-da?

Last I checked, Bill Gates was worth $50 billion. If the average employed adult, who is walking in a hurry, will pick up a quarter from the sidewalk, but not a dime, then the corresponding amount of money given their relative wealth that Bill Gates would ignore if he saw it lying on the street is $25,000.

People like it when they understand something that they previously thought they couldn't understand. It's a sense of empowerment.

It turns out that the history of astrophysics is where we perfected time keeping.

Science literacy is the artery through which the solutions of tomorrow's problems flow.

When we try to look farther into the universe we come to what appears to be the end of space but actually it's the beginning of time.
