To understand the universe in the state that it began in, the so-called Big Bang, we need laws of physics that work better than our current set of rules and procedures, which break down when we try to push them back to the beginning.
In order to achieve a true understanding of string theory, some new idea will be required, and most likely, some break with the concepts on which we've traditionally based physical theory.
I know those rules. I know which rules not to break and I know how to get around everything else. You know, so cash is no problem.
We would be sorely disappointed not to have a document at all, but that would be better than to have a bad document.
We challenge our companies to leverage their global leadership by developing and implementing a set of meaningful best practices.
Every check we deposited ... is verified and accounted for. So this is a shock. We listen but don't condemn until we know the whole story.
Until I see an announcement that they officially have a league, I'm not going to comment. The NLL throws some things out there. They talked about having a second indoor league, the NLL2, and they've talked about expanding to something like 29 teams. None of that has come to fruition.
What's gonna happen is they're gonna say holy -- who is this guy that can raise this kind of money and everyone else will come and try to hire you,
We will not agree to the U.N. taking over the management of the Internet, ... Some countries want that. We think that's unacceptable.
We will not agree to the UN taking over the management of the internet,
We will not agree to the United Nations taking over management of the internet.
We think that that's inappropriate, ... The genius of the Internet is that it has been flexible (and) private sector led.
We will be looking at all of the proposals through the eyes of what they will do to freedom of expression.
The main reason why people should care about research in fundamental physics is the same reason they care about astronomy and cosmology. People, children, want to know what we're made out of, how it works, and why the universe is the way it is.
