Surfing is simply the most fun I know how to have on this planet.
From Antony Garrett Lisi
Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.
Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.
Deep down, everybody wants to do what they want to be doing. They just feel that they can't.
I've gotten e-mails asking, 'Are you taking students?' Well, come visit and I'll be happy to talk to you. But I'm not a degree-granting institution.
Being poor sucks... It's hard to figure out the secrets of the universe when you're trying to figure out where you and your girlfriend are going to sleep next month.
My friends are all geeks. And many of them are scientists who love playing outside as much as I do.
What physics tells us is that everything comes down to geometry and the interactions of elementary particles. And things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced.
The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works.
As with any large investment, it can be emotionally difficult to abandon a line of research when it isn't working out. But in science, if something isn't working, you have to toss it out and try something else.
