Welcome to science. You’re gonna like it here.

I'm tired of ignorance held up as inspiration.

You can experience the thrill of discovery, the incredible, visceral feeling of doing something no one has ever done before, see things no one has ever seen before, know something no one has ever known before. ... Welcome to science, you're gonna like it here.

Some people try to tell me that science will never answer the big questions we have in life. To them I say: baloney! The real problem is your questions aren't big enough.

The Universe is cool enough without making up crap about it.
