atheist italian people
Italy valued cathedrals while Spain valued explorers. So worldwide, five times as many people speak Spanish than Italian.
night sky special
The universe has really never made things in ones. The Earth is special and everything else is different? No, we've got seven other planets. The sun? No, the sun is one of those dots in the night sky. The Milky Way? No, it's one of a hundred billion galaxies. And the universe--maybe it's countless other universes.
intelligent earth aliens
Perhaps we've never been visited by aliens because they have looked upon Earth and decided there's no sign of intelligent life.
technology thinking innovation
Spin-off technologies are changing the culture. Even if you don't become an engineer you could be a poet, a journalist, a lawyer, but you will be thinking innovation and your actions within society, who you vote for, what you value, all become a participant in an innovation economy.
discovery
The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don't expect.
dream powerful agency
By the way, how much does NASA cost? It's half a penny on a dollar. Did you know that? ... The most powerful agency on the dreams of a nation is currently underfunded to do what it needs to be doing, and that's making dreams come true ... How much would you pay for the universe?
wrestling mind study
when I wrestled, I would set aside the time to wrestle, so that in my mind it didn't interfere with my study time. That helped me psychologically. When I'm wrestling, I'm not studying the universe. And when I'm studying the universe, I'm not wrestling.
trying taught chemistry
I try to show the public that chemistry, biology, physics, astrophysics is life. It is not some separate subject that you have to be pulled into a corner to be taught about.
nice thinking eggs
It would be great if we were on multiple planets, but I think that's unrealistic. Hawking says we have to be on multiple planets so an asteroid could come and you'd still have some humans left. It's a nice idea. It satisfies the multiple-eggs-in-multiple-baskets concept.
doors pretending findings
Pretending to know everything closes the door to finding out what's really there.
volunteer people feels
I never volunteer to talk about god or religion, but people feel compelled to talk about it.
intelligent earth examination
I wonder if, in fact, we have been observed by aliens and upon close examination of human conduct and human behavior they have concluded that there is no sign of intelligent life on Earth.
cosmos evidence
Follow the evidence wherever it leads, and question everything.
dark law four
In terms of the most astonishing fact about which we know nothing, there is dark matter and dark energy. We don't know what either of them is. Everything we know and love about the universe and all the laws of physics as they apply, apply to four percent of the universe. That's stunning.
