The Big Bang theory is the idea that if we go back early enough in the history of the universe - and we can do this, of course, by looking at starlight coming to us from billions of years ago - we will see a very hot and dense period where the universe was much smaller, denser, and hotter.
Some wonder whether some day we will arrive at a theory of everything and run out of new problems to solve - much as the effort to explore the earth ran out of new continents to explore.
Quantum field theory was originally developed for the treatment of electrodynamics, immediately after the completion of quantum mechanics and the discovery of the Dirac equation.
I had set out to disprove quantum field theory - and the opposite occurred! I was shocked.
When I was at Berkeley, the framework of quantum field theory could calculate the dynamics of electromagnetism. It could roughly describe the motion of the weak nuclear force, radiation. But it hit a brick wall with the strong interaction, the binding force.

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 challenge our companies to leverage their global leadership by developing and implementing a set of meaningful best practices.
The United Nations will not be in charge of the internet. Period,

Science is truly a wonderful way of life. Most of the questions that need to be answered have not been answered. There are marvelous questions waiting for answers that need marvelous young minds to attack them.
Science is shaped by ignorance. Great questions themselves evolve, of course, because their answers spawn new and better questions in turn.
