The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.

This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it.

Liberty according to my metaphysics is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power.

The fundamental concept in social science is Power in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.

I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.

The nerds are my favourite sort of boys - any guy with a passion - whether it be physics or film or writing or poetry even I think it's super sweet and it's very attractive for a female.

It's always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It's hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.

Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.

I'd love to go back to Europe in the '20s and '30s for the beginning of the Psychoanalytic Movement and Freud and Jung and all that was going on with discoveries in quantum physics. The whole nature of reality was changing and being challenged.

The possibilities that are suggested in quantum physics tell us that everything that we're looking at may not be in fact there so the underlying nature of being is weird.
