I tend to approach things from a physics framework. And physics teaches you to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.

It is theoretically possible to warp spacetime itself, so you’re not actually moving faster than the speed of light, but it’s actually space that’s moving.

I went to Princeton specifically to study physics.

Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It’s really counterintuitive.

Mediocre theoretical physicists make no progress. They spend all their time understanding other people’s progress.

Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree.

My interest in matters more directly concerned with the handling of particles was growing, in the meantime, stimulated by many contacts with people understanding accelerators.

It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.

If you miss one day in physics, that’s it.

Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.
