Someone told me that each equation I included in my book would halve the sales. I did put in one equation, Einstein's famous equation, E = MC squared. I hope that this will not scare off half of my potential readers.

It is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.

A picture is worth a thousand words...and uses up a thousand times the memory.

We are very, very small, but we are profoundly capable of very, very big things.

Only time - whatever that may be - will tell.

There is nothing bigger or older than the universe.

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