If our species is to survive, our future will probably require outposts beyond our own planet.

From Lawrence M. Krauss

Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can't even measure them.

From Lawrence M. Krauss

From Lawrence M. Krauss

One might rationally argue that individual human beings should be free choose what moral behavior they approve of, and which they don't, subject to the constraints of the law.
