I don't need my name anywhere.

Science is not just a topic we can step around or ignore.

If all that you see, do, measure and discover is the will of a deity, then ideas can never be proven wrong, you have no predictive power, and you are at a loss to understand the principles behind most of the fundamental interconnections of nature.

I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people's politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true.

There's no denying the public's appetite for cosmic discovery.

I don't even think much about politicians. I think about the people in the audience who applaud the politicians. They are your fellow countrymen and they're the ones you live with - that should be who we target for education and enlightenment.
