But logic is not all, one needs one’s heart to follow an idea.
Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?
Tell your son to stop trying to fill your head with science – for to fill your heart with love is enough.
What did you ASK at school today?
I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell. Possibly. It doesn’t frighten me.

It’s amazing how many people even today use a computer to do something you can do with a pencil and paper in less time.
To not know math is a severe limitation to understanding the world.
If an apple was magnified to the size of the Earth, then the atoms in the apple would be approximately the size of the original apple.
Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself.
The ‘paradox’ is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality ’ought to be.
