The Quantum Universe has a quotation from me in every chapter - but it's a damn good book anyway.

People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me!

If an apple was magnified to the size of the Earth, then the atoms in the apple would be approximately the size of the original apple.

So, ultimately, in order to understand nature it may be necessary to have a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships. But the real reason is that the subject is enjoyable, and although we humans cut nature up in different ways, and we have different courses in different departments, such compartmentaliz ation is really artificial, and we should take our intellectual pleasures where we find them.

Nature...cannot be fooled!
