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.

There are no black holes - in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. There are however apparent horizons which persist for a period of time.

Perhaps we could write code to optimize code, then run that code through the code optimizer?

You cannot understand the glories of the universe without believing there is some Supreme Power behind it.

If what we regard as real depends on our theory, how can we make reality the basis of our philosophy? But we cannot distinguish what is real about the universe without a theory. It makes no sense to ask if it corresponds to reality, because we do not know what reality is independent of a theory.

Only time - whatever that may be - will tell.

Quiet people have the loudest minds.
