Not to take this web of dualities as a sign we are on the right track would be a bit like believing that God put fossils into the rocks in order to mislead Darwin about the evolution of life.

It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.

Religion believes in miracles, but these aren't compatible with science.

So Einstein was wrong when he said, "God does not play dice." Consideration of black holes suggests, not only that God does play dice, but that he sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen.

Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.
