Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low.
Although September 11 was horrible, it didn't threaten the survival of the human race, like nuclear weapons do.
Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.
As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control.
As Irving Good realised in 1965, machines with superhuman intelligence could repeatedly improve their design even further, triggering what Vernor Vinge called a 'singularity.'
As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us - aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.
Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.

Exploration by real people inspires us.
For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein's general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.
