Science Is The Process That Takes Us

The Main Challenge That Television Presents Is That I Have A Tendency To Say Things With A Great Deal Of Precision And Accuracy. Often A Description Of That Sort, Which Will Work In A Book Because People Can Read It Slowly - They Can Turn The Pages Back And So On - Doesn't Really Work On Tv Because It Interrupts The Flow Of The Moving Image.

For Me It's Been Very Exciting To Contribute To The Public's Understanding Of How Rich And Wondrous Science Is.

The Central Idea Of String Theory Is Quite Straightforward. If You Examine Any Piece Of Matter Ever More Finely, At First You'll Find Molecules, Atoms, Sub-atomic Particles. Probe The Smaller Particles, You'll Find Something Else, A Tiny Vibrating Filament Of Energy, A Little Tiny Vibrating String.

All You Are Is A Bag Of Particles Acting Out The Laws Of Physics. That To Me Is Pretty Clear.

Einstein's Theory Of Relativity Does A Fantastic Job For Explaining Big Things. Quantum Mechanics Is Fantastic For The Other End Of The Spectrum - For Small Things.
