Math Is Discovered. To Be Invented Requires

I Often Think That We Are Like The Carp Swimming Contentedly In That Pond. We Live Out Our Lives In Our Own "pond," Confident That Our Universe Consists Of Only The Familiar And The Visible. We Smugly Refuse To Admit That Parallel Universes Or Dimensions Can Exist Next To Ours, Just Beyond Our Grasp. If Our Scientists Invent Concepts Like Forces, It Is Only Because They Cannot Visualize The Invisible Vibrations That Fill The Empty Space Around Us. Some Scientists Sneer At The Mention Of Higher Dimensions Because They Cannot Be Conveniently Measured In The Laboratory.

If You Could Meet Your Grandkids As Elderly Citizens In The Year 2100 … You Would View Them As Being, Basically, Greek Gods… That's Where We're Headed.

I Hope We Find Evidence Of Dark Matter In The Lab And In Outer Space. This Would Go A Long Way To Proving The Correctness Of String Theory, Which Is What I Do For A Living. That Is My Day Job. So String Theory Is A Potentially Experimentally Verifiable Theory.

The Most Complex Object In The Known Universe: Brain, Only Uses 20 Watts Of Power. It Would Require A Nuclear Power Plant To Energize A Computer The Size Of A City Block To Mimic Your Brain, And Your Brain Does It With Just 20 Watts. So If Someone Calls You A Dim Bulb, That's A Compliment.

One Theory Is That The Universe Came From Nothing. I.e. Perhaps Bubble-universes Collided, As In A Bubble Bath, And Gave Birth To The Universe. Or Perhaps The Big Bang Was Created By A Bubble-universe Which Split Into Two Universes. The Universe Does Seem To Be Compatible With Nothing.
