Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.

Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?

If one is working from the point of view of getting beauty into one's equation, ... one is on a sure line of progress.

While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
