Reformed Jews don't have to quite believe in God.

If one just tried to invent a universe on one's own, it would probably end up being a much less colorful and interesting universe than the one that we live in.
- Matter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Relativity can, for instance, explain that the universe had once been clumped into a dense fireball. But it can never explain how matter actually behaved.

We don't have a solid theory of how the universe originated, but that doesn't mean we have to invoke a deity.

Space is certainly something more complicated than the average person would probably realize. Space is not just an empty background in which things happen.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Now, what space ultimately is - I should confess, I think most physicists believe - we don't yet know.
- Level
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory.

When one studies the properties of atoms, one found that the reality is far stranger than anybody would have invented in the form of fiction. Particles really do have the possibility of, in some sense, being in more than one place at one time.
- Fact

My parents were not at all involved in science. In fact, neither of them went to college.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
I had considered MIT a place where brilliant people came.
- Feet

- Nov 07, 2020
In high school, I was the best broad jumper on our team, and I kind of thought that when I got to MIT, I'd probably still be the best broad jumper, 'cause why do broad jumpers come to MIT? But it turned out to actually be the other way around. There was another person in my class who could jump about 3 feet further than I could.
- Big

The Big Bang theory says nothing about what banged, why it banged, or what happened before it banged.

It's not a coincidence that the Bible starts with Genesis. Most people really want to know where we came from and where everything around us came from. I like to strongly push the scientific answer. We have evidence. We no longer have to rely on stories we were told when we were young.
- Fluctuation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is rather fantastic to realize that the laws of physics can describe how everything was created in a random quantum fluctuation out of nothing, and how over the course of 15 billion years, matter could organize in such complex ways that we have human beings sitting here, talking, doing things intentionally.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If laws are just properties of objects, how can those laws continue to operate when the object is not really there?
- Handled
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It was sort of assumed, from the time I was born, really, that I would go to college. That's sort of the way that Jewish families in New Jersey handled things; that was the norm.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I always wanted to go into physics. What always fascinated me about science was the desire to understand what underlies it all, and I think physics is basically the study of that.
- Pretty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm pretty slow at writing papers.
- Nov 07, 2020
I do worry about the fact that science is becoming a slower process as society is becoming less patient.
- Hard
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From a theoretical point of view, it is very hard to imagine how gravity could avoid being quantized.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am not aware of any sensible theory of how classical gravity could interact with quantum matter, and I can't imagine how such a theory might work.
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a cosmologist. All I do is cosmology.
