You just have to accept it. And the most necessary, the most natural matter on this planet is death." "Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality." "In a society which is structured the wrong way, piety has no effect."
