Today, we’re very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted – all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

Often one postulates that a priori, all states are equally probable. This is not true in the world as we see it. This world is not correctly described by the physics which assumes this postulate.

You have a row of dominoes set up; you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is that it will go over very quickly.

The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

The same thing is to be understood of all bodies, revolved in any orbits.

Today we say that the law of relativity is supposed to be true at all energies, but someday somebody may come along and say how stupid we were.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
