One can't predict the weather more than a few days in advance.
From Stephen Hawking
Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible.
No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.
My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.
Time travel was once considered scientific heresy, and I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a 'crank.'
I was never top of the class at school, but my classmates must have seen potential in me, because my nickname was 'Einstein.'
Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
