More quotes by Lawrence M. Krauss
The universe is the way it is , whether we like it or not. The existence or nonexistence of a creator is independent of our desires . A world without God or purpose may seem harsh or pointless, but that alone doesn ' t require God to actually exist.
Lawrence M. Krauss
We should provide the meaning of the universe in the meaning of our own lives. So I think science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of kind of spiritual fulfillment.

If you have nothing in quantum mechanics, you will always have something.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The ultimate goal of physicists is to arrive at an equation that explains everything and could fit on a t-shirt. That may happen but the t-shirt would have to be 10-dimensional.
Lawrence M. Krauss
At the heart of quantum mechanics is a rule that sometimes governs politicians or CEOs-as long as no one is watching, anything goes.
Lawrence M. Krauss
There are a lot of legislators who are afraid that kids will learn science and lose their faith.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Science is not just there for technology. It's part of what addressing who you are in the universe and understanding your place in the cosmos. Good art, good literature, good music - all of that is for that and science is a part of it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Empirical explorations ultimately change our understanding of which questions are important and fruitful and which are not.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
