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

Teaching physics to the public is not only enjoyable but also essential for formulating new ideas, as explaining complex concepts helps deepen one's understanding.

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.

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.

Twistor theory, which I started in 1963, has had many developments and has spread interest in different areas of physics.

The reputation of being a radical physicist is a myth; I consider myself the most conservative physicist imaginable.

Richard Feynman was about as mainstream as you can be, but he had his own very special scientific personality.

The physical sciences have reality on their side, but they are losing credibility in the current academic environment.

The next generation models will need to understand physics and chemistry better, and while they may grasp Newtonian physics, discovering new chemistry or novel theoretical physics remains uncertain.
