It's a pity that nobody has found an exploding black hole. If they had, I would have won a Nobel prize.
Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap - it is all in the mind.
I have wondered about time all my life.
Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world, especially in my field.
According to 'M' theory, ours is not the only universe. Instead, 'M' theory predicts that a great many universes were created out of nothing.
