The problem is that modern fundamental physics is so far from you and me. The mathematics has become so much more complicated that you need at least 10 years to understand it. Fundamental physics has advanced so far from the understanding of most people that there is really a big disconnect.

I must analyze, from what I do now, what will be the impact two or three or five years in the future. What is the statement I want to make?

Facebook now is mostly about people you know. In the future it could be about people you know less but are more important.

It’s not how much something’s worth today, it’s what it’s worth in five or 10 years.

Science is one of a handful of things that defines us as a very special species. It is amazing how far we have been able to get and how accurate our predictions are. I think understanding how the universe was born is very important. It really gives us a perspective on many things.

Social is a better way to interact with digital world. It is better than search. Implications for... everything. Total change.

Fundamental physics is like an art more or less. It's completely non-practical, and you can't use it for anything. But it's about the universe and how the world came into being. It's very remote from your daily life and mine, and yet it defines us as human beings.
