I don’t know if science and reason will ultimately help guide humanity to a better and more peaceful future, but I am certain that this belief is part of what keeps the ‘Star Trek’ fandom going. Lawrence M. Krauss Read Quote
To the extent that we even understand string theory, it may imply a massive number of possible different universes with different laws of physics in each universe, and there may be no way of distinguishing between them or saying why the laws of physics are the way they are.

Symmetries are the playing field on which the physical world works and which determine the rules of the game. The symmetries of nature determine for us things that remain constant, that can’t be changed. Those are the guideposts in physics, the quantities like energy and momentum. Lawrence M. Krauss Read Quote
By no definition of any modern scientist is intelligent design science, and it’s a waste of our students’ time to subject them to it. Lawrence M. Krauss Read Quote
Keeping religion immune from criticism is both unwarranted and dangerous. Lawrence M. Krauss Read Quote
Imagining living in a universe without purpose may prepare us to better face reality head on. I cannot see that this is such a bad thing. Lawrence M. Krauss Read Quote
