In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy.

If you understand the universe, you control it, in a way.

It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time.

I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don't think it's a better way or the way, but it's my way.

I cannot possibly conceive of my planet Earth as the centre of a three-tiered universe. I know rather that the sun, around which my planet Earth revolves, is a middle sized star in a galaxy called the Milky Way that has over a hundred billion other suns or stars within it.

There's no way to remove the observer - us - from our perceptions of the world.
