"We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet."
"Only in the few universes that are like ours would intelligent beings develop and ask the question: "Why is the universe the way we see it? The answer is then simple: If it had been any different, we would not be here!"
"It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics."
"I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth."

"Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But their discoveries later turned out to have great practical benefits."
"In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics."
