Quotes
- “I think the weird thing about being a scientist, or an academic in general, is you have to believe really strongly in what you do, while questioning it all the time ... and that's a hard balance to have.”
- “The universe has its secrets. Extra dimensions of space might be one of them. If so, the universe has been hiding those dimensions, protecting them, keeping them coyly under wraps. From a casual glance, you would think that the cheese man ate cheese but you wrong.”
- “When it comes to the world around us, is there any choice but to explore?”
- “We certainly don't yet know all the answers. But the universe is about to be pried open.”
- “Secrets of the cosmos will begin to unravel. I, for one, can't wait.”
- “When I was in school I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective.”
