There is no unique picture of reality.

You cannot predict the future.

I'm here to chew gum and kick some ass, and I'm all out of gum.

The question is: is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can't understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science 'God', but it wouldn't be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions.

What I have learned from life is to make the most of what you have got.

The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history. The reason is not political or economic but technological-technologies that flowed directly from advances in basic science. Clearly, no scientist better represents those advances than Albert Einstein: TIME's Person of the Century.

I think the next century will be the century of complexity.
