You see, this universe we inhabit is made up of billions of galaxies literally beyond counting and this is only one universe.
For myself, I like a universe that, includes much that is unknown and, at the same time, much that is knowable. A universe in which everything is known would be static and dull, as boring as the heaven of some weak-minded theologians. A universe that is unknowable is no fit place for a thinking being. The ideal universe for us is one very much like the universe we inhabit. And I would guess that this is not really much of a coincidence.
The miracle is that the universe created a part of itself, to study itself,?and that this part in studying itself finds the rest of the universe in its own natural inner realities.

We inhabit a universe that is characterized by diversity.
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.

For all our conceits about being the center of the universe, we live in a routine planet of a humdrum star stuck away in an obscure corner ... on an unexceptional galaxy which is one of about 100 billion galaxies. ... That is the fundamental fact of the universe we inhabit, and it is very good for us to understand that.
To create the life you deserve, you have to go after it. The universe that you inhabit flows from you - you don't flow from it.
The liquid metal battery story is more than an account of inventing technology. It's a blueprint for inventing inventors.
Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!
The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I'd been up all night inventing the Camcorder.
A man should keep inventing and re-inventing himself.
It's just a weird idea to me because each book is a complete universe unto itself, so why would I want this other universe from this other galaxy that has nothing to do with mine? That's how I really feel about it. Let's be honest - I'm still the writer, so certain things will be common denominators. But that I just want to keep natural and not studied.
