The Development Of Artificial Intelligence May Well Imply That Man Will Relinquish His Intellectual Supremacy In Favor Of Thinking Machines. With Oceans Of Time Available For Future Innovation, There Seems To Be No Reason Why Machines Cannot Achieve And Surpass Anything Of Which The Human Brain Is Capable.

For Me, Science Is Already Fantastical Enough. Unlocking The Secrets Of Nature With Fundamental Physics Or Cosmology Or Astrobiology Leads You Into A Wonderland Compared With Which Beliefs In Things Like Alien Abductions Pale Into Insignificance.

Cancer Cells Come Pre-programmed To Execute A Well-defined Cascade Of Changes, Seemingly Designed To Facilitate Both Their Enhanced Survival And Their Dissemination Through The Bloodstream.

Through My Scientific Work I Have Come To Believe More And More Strongly That The Physical Universe Is Put Together With An Ingenuity So Astonishing That I Cannot Accept It As A Brute Fact....i Cannot Believe That Our Existence In This Universe Is A Mere Quirk Of Fate, An Accident Of History, An Incidental Blip In The Great Cosmic Drama.

Through Conscious Beings The Universe Has Generated Self-awareness. This Can Be No Trivial Detail, No Minor Byproduct Of Mindless, Purposeless Forces. We Are Truly Meant To Be Here.
