      I think the worst thing about it is that there is so much to learn, and still so much we don’t know – we’ll never figure everything out! But maybe that’s for the best. We’d get bored otherwise, right?

      Not having enough time to learn in detail many different sciences and the amazing convergence points among them

      I don’t really think there’s anything bad about science itself – that’s just discovering how the world works – but I think some technology is dangerous and I suppose that’s built on our scientific knowledge. Also, I do think there are some problems with how science is funded and how scientific papers are published. I think those things will change quite a lot over the next decade or two.

      It’s unavoidable, and determines everything that happens in the universe.

      There’s a lot of science that we have yet to work out or discover, but that’s one of the interesting things about it. It’s a continuously broadening field.
