The correct statement of the laws of physics involves some very unfamiliar ideas which require advanced mathematics for their description. Therefore, one needs a considerable amount of preparatory training even to learn what the words mean.

You can’t regulate every lab in the world.

We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.

I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time.
