opportunity laughing world
The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
animal meaning-of-life way
The meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future. The claim that we would not have morals or ethics without religion is extraordinary. Animals in nature seem to behave in moral ways without organized religion.
dog speak communicate
I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.
believe engineering people
There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.
mysterious wonderful reverence
There are two questions that get to us all: Are we alone in the Universe? And, where did we come from? For me, science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion I've come across. With that said, the universe is mysterious and wonderful. It fills me with reverence for nature and our place among the stars; our place in space.

To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people's trash.

What happens to other species also happens to us.
stars stuff way
You and I are made of stardust. We are the stuff of exploded stars. We are therefore, at least 1 way that the Universe knows itself. That, to me, is astonishing.
blue space race
There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.
ideas people embrace
Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.
meaning-of-life strive
For me, the meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future.
scientist thinker universe
I feel that I've often pointed out that there are countless aspects of life and nature that scientists and scientific thinkers cannot explain. Why the universe is accelerating in its expansion and what came before the Big Bang serve as compelling examples. The process of science provides a way to seek answers to those questions.
wonderful
When or if answers are found, you can be assured those answers will lead to more questions. Is the troubling or wonderful? It depends on your view of your place in nature, your place among the stars; I suppose.
serious problem climate-change
The most serious problem facing humankind is climate change.
