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.

More quotes by Lawrence M. Krauss
You shouldn't be afraid of science. Accepting the reality of nature makes life more exciting and even more precious.
Lawrence M. Krauss
A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The ultimate arbiter of truth is experiment, not the comfort one derives from one's a priori beliefs, nor the beauty or elegance one ascribes to one's theoretical models.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The fact is that people would rather cling when they're afraid of something to a priori beliefs than rather open their minds about it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
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.
Lawrence M. Krauss
If you have nothing in quantum mechanics, you will always have something.
Lawrence M. Krauss
If we wish to draw philosophical conclusions about our own existence, our significance, and the significance of the universe itself, our conclusions should be based on empirical knowledge. A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa, whether or not we like the implications.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The universe is the way it is, whether we like it or not.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
A significant fraction of evangelical voters appear more likely to ignore the candidates' specific economic and foreign policy platforms in favor of concerns about gay marriage or abortion.
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
When a person's religious beliefs cause him to deny the evidence of science, or for whom public policy morphs into a battle with the devil, shouldn't that be a subject for discussion and debate?
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
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.
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 is a maxim about the universe which I always tell my students: That which is not explicitly forbidden is guaranteed to occur.
Lawrence M. Krauss
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.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Philosophy used to be a field that had content, but then natural philosophy became physics, and physics has only continued to make inroads. Every time theres a leap in physics, it encroaches on these areas that philosophers have carefully sequestered away to themselves, and so then you have this natural resentment on the part of philosophers.
Lawrence M. Krauss
It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: you are all stardust.
Lawrence M. Krauss
I like to say that while antimatter may seem strange, it is strange in the sense that Belgians are strange. They are not really strange it is just that one rarely meets them.
Lawrence M. Krauss
