"An immovable object and an unstoppable force don't exist in universe which ruled by single ruler."

"Strings of gravity vibrate at a different frequency than strings of light."

"If someone says that he can think or talk about quantum physics without becoming dizzy, that shows only that he has not understood anything whatever about it."

"Everything is fields, and a particle is just a smaller version of a field.There is a harmonic relationship involved.Disturbing ideas like those of Einstein in 1905 and Feynman Pocono Conference in 1948.Here we go;1) The universe is ringing like a bell. Neil Turok's Public Lecture: The Astonishing Simplicity of Everything.2) The stuff of the universe is waves or fields.3) Scale is relative, not fixed because all of these waves are ratios of one another.4) The geometry is fractal. This could be physical or computational.5) If the geometry is computational then, there is no point in speaking about the relationship of the pixels on the display."

"Every engine takes advantage of a difference."

"We are like some particle in motion always moving and meeting other particle."

"Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics."

"The work requires a moderately large investment in technological and theoretical developments and long periods of time to carry them out, without the pressure to achieve quick or short term results."

"This field is not necessarily glamorous, nor does it often produce immediate results, but it seeks to increase our basic understanding of living processes."

"This work made me more and more interested in biological matter, and I decided that I really wanted to work on the X-ray analysis of biological molecules."
