Science is a self-correcting discipline that can, in subsequent generations, show that previous ideas were not correct.
Even when I wasn't doing much 'science for the public' stuff, I found that four or five hours of intense work in physics was all my brain could take on a given day.
My dad was a composer and a musician, but he never finished high school. His formal education was rather minimal from the standards of today's college graduates and Ph.D.'s, but he had a deep interest in questions of science and questions of the universe.
We might be the holographic image of a two-dimensional structure.
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.
My view is that science only has something to say about a very particular notion of God, which goes by the name of 'god of the gaps'.
Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic.
One of the strangest features of string theory is that it requires more than the three spatial dimensions that we see directly in the world around us. That sounds like science fiction, but it is an indisputable outcome of the mathematics of string theory.
When we benefit from CT scanners, M.R.I. devices, pacemakers and arterial stents, we can immediately appreciate how science affects the quality of our lives.
