If you have nothing in quantum mechanics, you will always have something.

The root cause of the looming energy problem - and the key to easing environmental, economic and religious tensions while improving public health - is to address the unending, and unequal, growth of the human population. And the one proven way to reduce fertility rates is to empower young women by educating them.

Image
[The writers of the holy books] did not even know the earth revolves around the sun. Why are we listening?

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.

Science is only truly consistent with an atheistic worldview with regards to the claimed miracles of the gods of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Most people don't base their morality on religion in spite what they say. If you ask people, If you didn't believe in God, would you go out and kill your neighbour? Most people will say, No.

Image
People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.

Whatever the evolutionary basis of religion, the xenophobia it now generates is clearly maladaptive.

We now know that we are more insignificant than we ever imagined. If you get rid of everything we see, the universe is essentially the same. We constitute a 1 percent bit of pollution in a universe . . . we are completely irrelevant.
