spooky mathematician physicist
It is positively spooky how the physicist finds the mathematician has been there before him or her.
seems pointless universe
The more comprehensible the universe becomes the more pointless it seems.
humanity purpose way
Though aware that there is nothing in the universe that suggests any purpose for humanity, one way that we can find a purpose is to study the universe by the methods of science, without consoling ourselves with fairy tales about its future, or about our own.
today programming evidence
A theorist today is hardly considered respectable if he or she has not introduced at least one new particle for which there is no experimental evidence.
arrows finals century
If history is any guide at all, it seems to me to suggest that there is a final theory. In this century we have seen a convergence of the arrows of explanation, like the convergence of meridians toward the North Pole.
reason-why boring reason
Elementary particles are terribly boring, which is one reason why we're so interested in them.
avoids errors grand sweeping
An expert is a person who avoids the small errors while sweeping on to the grand fallacy.
