Computers are very powerful tools, but in the simulated world of the computer, everything has to be calculated.
Wave particle duality is a core feature of our world. Or rather, we should say, it is a core feature of our mathematical descriptions of our world. But what is critical to note here is that, however ambiguous our images, the universe itself remains whole and is manifestly not fracturing into schizophrenic shards. It is this tantalizing wholeness and the thing itself that drives physicists onward like an eternally beckoning light that seems so teasingly near. It is always out of reach.
I believe that there is a love that moves the sun and the other stars.
It turns out that hyperbolic structures are very common in nature, and the place where lots of people encounter them is coral reefs.

If I could do anything in my life and be remembered for anything, I would like to be remembered for helping the world see the value of physical engagement with ideas.
Nature doesn't feel compelled to stick to a mathematically precise algorithm; in fact, nature probably can't stick to an algorithm.
We cannot fail in following nature.
My views are heretical to people who believe in political correctness.
In Paris there are two dens, one for thieves, the other for murderers. The den of thieves is the Stock Exchange; the den of murderers is the Courthouse.
One thing that these Buddhists have certainly gotten right is that attention to attention is the key to taking control of your mental life.
