The Essence of Scientific Discovery: "It's the friendships that underlie the interactions of scientists, which, caused the creation of this great thing."

"The Importance of the Big Picture in Scientific Training": "But you cannot lose sight of the one thing that impassion people to go into the subject, which is that you have to have the big picture. And the big picture has to be with you every single day while you're working on this."

"Rethinking Education for the Future": "The future is is going to be that we make well rounded people who can still do the, detailed expert things."

"Impact of George Gamow's Unification Ideas": "And he was trying to do a grand unification in essentially late forties, early fifties of how you could think about how everything came together from the early universe through to the formation of life on earth and geology and all of that."

Title: The Essence of the Universe's Story

Quote: "Every single aspect of the development of the universe is nicely cast into this framework, and it gives me an underlying vision to try and describe along the lines, if you like, with a little bit of hubris, perhaps attached to one, two, three infinity, where you're trying to do a, well, you're trying to do a, great leap at the approaching end of my scientific career."

Science and Humility: "I think what's more important for the lay public to see is that the scientists are struggling just like everybody else with answers of, you know, the reason for being and all of that and how it fits in."

The Feynman Effect: "It was, because it was a very natural way of thinking and it was irreverent and the irreverence was what you really need in trying to deal with mother nature who, doesn't necessarily applaud your irreverence, but it's the best way to approach it."

The Uncertainty Principle and Localization in Quantum Mechanics: "But the main thing that what the equations of quantum mechanics show you is that if you try and concentrate information, then the information will spread."

"Exploring Quantum Realities": "But the fundamental equation, Schrodinger's equation, says that there is a effective pressure, it's often called the quantum pressure or quantum potential, that is a force which is beyond the usual classical forces that's responsible for spreading things out."

Understanding the Universe's Expansion: "The question is, is the change actually spatial, or is it, time? Or is it associated with well, there are many things that could be it could also be associated with density, which is actually what I think it might be, which is that, as the universe expands, the density falls."
