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

You can't regulate every lab in the world.

For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein's general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.

It should soon be possible dramatically to increase the intelligence and life span of a few individuals. They and their offspring could become a master race. Evolution pays no regard to social justice. It was not fair on the Neanderthals they were replaced by modern humans.

Science can explain the universe without the need for a Creator.

Many badly needed goals, like fusion and cancer cure, would be achieved much sooner if we invested more.

I am damned if I'm going to die before I have unraveled more of the universe
