Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.

Religion and science look at reality differently.

I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. These experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point. I think that these experiments are very clearly telling us that consciousness is limitless and the ultimate reality.

Until we recognize the essential role of biology, our attempts to truly unify the universe will remain a train to nowhere.

The laws of nature are structured so that we grow and change, and get to experience the full spectrum of biological existence.

Amazingly when you add life and consciousness to the equation you can actually explain some of the biggest puzzles of science.

We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.
