"There are many different kinds of radioactive waste and each has its own half-life so, just to be on the safe side and to simplify matters, I base my calculations on the worst one and that's plutonium."

"The idea is if you use those two shapes and try to colour the plane with them so the colours match, then the only way that you can do this is to produce a pattern which never repeats itself."

"As for morality, well that's all tied up with the question of consciousness."

Morality

"As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string should behave and so on."

Consistency

"Ordinary photons do have spin, they have a notion of helicity so they spin around their direction on motion."

Direction

"But I think it is a serious issue to wonder about the other platonic absolutes of say beauty and morality."

Beauty

"I'm pretty tenacious when it comes to problems."

"Well I didn't actually see the Matrix but I've seen other movies where with similar sorts of themes."

Movies

"In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't know if either one of them is the right approach to nature."

Nature

"People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that."
