It's not surrendering to the Universe, he told me, if all you're doing is sitting around waiting for it to turn out like you hope. —Partial Surrender

Newton's law of gravitation. That's all you need (with a spot of calculus to crunch the numbers) to work out how the Earth will orbit the Sun or how an apple will fall if you let it go at a certain height. The only trouble is that Newton had no idea how this gravity thing worked. His model was simply: 'There is an attraction between bits of stuff, and let's not bother about why.

La teoría de cuerdas tiene un inconfundible regusto a la Grecia antigua, pues en lugar de ser deducida de las observaciones del universo que nos rodea, es una posibilidad surgida de la pura matemática y luego ajustada al mundo

The aim of particle physics is to understand what everything's made of, and how everything sticks together. By everything I mean me and you, the Earth, the Sun, the 100 billion suns in our galaxy and the 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Absolutely everything.

We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.

Every carbon atom in every living thing on the planet was produced in the heart of a dying star.

Light is the only connection we have with the Universe beyond our solar system, and the only connection our ancestors had with anything beyond Earth. Follow the light and we can journey from the confines of our planet to other worlds that orbit the Sun without ever dreaming of spacecraft. To look up is to look back in time, because the ancient beams of light are messengers from the Universe's distant past.

Life, just like the stars, the planets and the galaxies, is just a temporary structure on the long road from order to disorder. But that doesn't make us insignificant, because we are the Cosmos made conscious. Life is the means by which the universe understands itself. And for me, our true significance lies in our ability to understand and explore this beautiful universe.

You are exporting disorder [in the form of heat into the Universe] now as you read this book. You are hastening the demise of everything that exists, bringing forward by your very existence the arrival of time known as the heat death, when all stars have died, all black holes have evaporated away and the entirety of creation is a uniform bath of photons incapable of storing a single bit of information about the glorious adolescence of our wonderful Universe.

You have to get old because of the geometry of spacetime.

about our origins, our destiny, and our place in the universe. We have no right to expect answers; we have no right to even ask. But ask and wonder we do. Human Universe is first and foremost a love letter to humanity; a celebration of our outrageous fortune

I have found it impossible to get a chest of drawers in the back of a Ford Fiesta and a tent back in its bag, so fitting a universe into a melon boggles me and my mind.

Biblical writers did not teach their cosmography as scientific doctrine revealed by God about the way the physical universe was materially structured, they assumed the popular cosmography to teach their doctrine about God's purposes and meaning. To critique the cosmic model carrying the message is to miss the meaning altogether, which is the message.

Einstein comes along and says, space and time can warp and curve, that's what gravity is. Now string theory comes along and says, yes, gravity, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism — all together in one package, but only if the universe has more dimensions than the ones that we see.

I was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, 'Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.' And she turned to me and said, 'Daddy, universe or multiverse?'
