String theory is currently the only theory that has survived scrutiny and attempts to unify the theories of the small and the big in physics.

I don't think we're in a straightforward simulation, but I do believe that underlying physics is rooted in information theory.

The tools of physics are incredibly helpful for understanding and making progress in any field. First principles mean breaking things down to the fundamental elements that are most likely to be true and reasoning up from there as cogently as possible.

Our understanding of right and wrong is beyond the scope of physics and string theory, as it involves ethics and morality.

There's a fundamental connection between symmetry and conservation laws in physics, which holds true in both classical and quantum mechanics.

In quantum mechanics, particles like electrons can explore every possible route from emission to detection, which many physicists now accept as a correct description of reality.

Exploring how physicists explain complex concepts can provide valuable insights for effective communication in any field.

The Hamiltonian is a central concept in both classical and quantum mechanics, illustrating how perspectives in physics can evolve over time.

Physics is a victim of its own success; general relativity and quantum mechanics are so effective that they cover 99.9% of observations, making it hard to find deviations to combine them.
