Ninety-five per cent of my time is virtually wasted.

I think the universe is pure geometry - basically, a beautiful shape twisting around and dancing over space-time.

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works. And it tells us our reality is continually branching into different possibilities, just like a coral.

You cannot think when you're ecstatic.

Everything that can happen, does. That's quantum mechanics. But this does not mean everything happens. The rest of physics is about describing what can happen and what can't.

There are a lot of good things about string theory, and it's great that some people want to work on it.

Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.

Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.

Science is our last and greatest frontier.

Coral is a very beautiful and unusual animal. Each coral head consists of thousand of individual polyps. These polyps are continually budding and branching into genetically identical neighbors.

What physics tells us is that everything comes down to geometry and the interactions of elementary particles. And things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced.

One who does wrong is considered illusioned (mithyatvi - ignorance of the Self). One who does right is considered enlightened (samkit).

The one red leaf, the last of its clan, That dances as often as dance it can, Hanging so light, and hanging so high, On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky.

Just because you're done with the past doesn't mean the past is done with you.

Talent without money, coach, vision and mission is a piteous adventure.

You don’t tell a boy that he is a boy. You simply act like a man.

In 'thinking up' music I usually have some kind of a brass band with wings on it in back of my mind.

Enjoy every minute. There's plenty of time to be dead.

Canonization in modern times is a very, almost scientific process.

Integrity simply means a willingness not to violate one's identity, in the many ways in which such violation is possible.

One day we will see our animals again in eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all God’s creatures.
