I study myself more than any other subject; it is my metaphysic, and my physic.

As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn't make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to scientists.

Physics is a hobby of mine, as much as a person of limited intelligence can understand physics.

In some ways I'm a frustrated scientist or mathematician. The amount of times I've thought I'd go back to university and do theoretical physics because I like the big questions, but really I know now that that's not quite me. What's me is to do it in novels.

Well, I'm leaning probably toward the sciences like physics.

My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.

I have expertise in five different fields which helps me to easily understand the analogy between my scientific problems and those occurring in nature.

I have a funny mental framework when I do physics. I create an imaginary audience in my head to explain things to - it is part of the way I think. For me, teaching and explaining, even to my imaginary audience, is part of the process.

I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.
