Real science can be far stranger than science fiction and much more satisfying.

What could define God, [is thinking of God] as the embodiment of the laws of nature. However, this is not what most people would think of that God. They made a human-like being with whom one can have a personal relationship. When you look at the vast size of the universe and how insignificant an accidental human life is in it, that seems most impossible.

If I have questions about the universe on my mind when I go to bed, I can't turn off. I dream equations all night.

Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.

I'd say I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid He might hear me.

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
