“I think there are arguments like that, how entropy is changing from the beginning of the universe to today.”
02 / belief
“I think that’s always fascinating when we’re in a situation where we’re pressure testing our own ideas.”
03 / belief
“I just like to experiment with life, I think. Making the magazine was a big, wild experiment.”
04 / belief
“I think dark matter might be less peculiar than dark energy. My hope is that they’re tied together, because that would be very gratifying.”
05 / belief
“Whether or not there are extra dimensions, or whether or not there’s life in another membrane, I think we know that even just in our galaxy, which is a very small part of the universe, 300 billion stars, something like that, a whole kind of variety of possibilities to be explored, by nature in the same way that we’re describing it.”
06 / belief
“I think everybody would say, the closer you get to the singularity, for sure, you have to include quantum mechanics.”
07 / belief
“Yeah, actually it might. It’s positive energy and a negative pressure, which is kind of like a rubber band sort of quality because we think of pressure is pushing things outward and dark energy has a very strange sort of quality that as things move outward, you feel more energy as opposed to less energy.”
08 / belief
“I think the mechanisms are still ongoing attempts to understand exactly the ordering of these things.”
09 / belief
“In sense, if they’re just allowed to directly collapse very early in the universe’s history, they can do that more easily. It’s so much so that we think that there’s one of these supermassive black holes in the center of every galaxy.”

“I mostly just look with interest at what others are doing, and if I think I can jump in, I would, but I’m not jumping into the fray.”
