Physicists Are Made Of Atoms. A Physicist

For Relaxation, I Like To Figure Skate. Being On The Ice And Spinning And Jumping, I Feel Very Close To Nature. In Particular, I Feel Very Close To Newton's Laws Of Motion. On The Ice, You Can Experience Newton's Laws Of Motion In Their Purest, Most Elegant Form.

One In 200 Stars Has Habitable Earth-like Planets Surrounding It - In The Galaxy, Half A Billion Stars Have Earth-like Planets Going Around Them - That's Huge, Half A Billion. So When We Look At The Night Sky, It Makes Sense That Someone Is Looking Back At Us.

I Often Think That We Are Like The Carp Swimming Contentedly In That Pond. We Live Out Our Lives In Our Own "pond," Confident That Our Universe Consists Of Only The Familiar And The Visible. We Smugly Refuse To Admit That Parallel Universes Or Dimensions Can Exist Next To Ours, Just Beyond Our Grasp. If Our Scientists Invent Concepts Like Forces, It Is Only Because They Cannot Visualize The Invisible Vibrations That Fill The Empty Space Around Us. Some Scientists Sneer At The Mention Of Higher Dimensions Because They Cannot Be Conveniently Measured In The Laboratory.
