From our point of view, the most exciting thing would be if we discovered something really fundamental in our understanding was just off a bit - and that now we have a chance to revisit it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.
There is nothing more exciting than having a life devoted to fundamental knowledge and to contributing to advance the borders of knowledge.
For me it's been very exciting to contribute to the public's understanding of how rich and wondrous science is.
Anything that gives us new knowledge gives us an opportunity to be more rational.
The process of discovery in my field is very incremental. But there are moments when you realize you know something about the world nobody else knows. That's extraordinarily exhilarating.
With time, many of the facts I learned were forgotten but I never lost the excitement of discovery.
The most exciting thing in the twentieth century is science.
We will always have more to discover, more to invent, more to understand and that's much closer to art and literature than any science.
What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.
What I really want out of life is to discover something new: something mankind didn't know was possible to do.
