Lawrence M. Krauss / quote

09Undated

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 / quote

10Undated

Neutrinos alone, among all the known particles, have ethereal properties that are striking and romantic enough both to have inspired a poem by John Updike and to have sent teams of scientists deep underground for 50 years to build huge science-fiction-like contraptions to unravel their mysteries.

Lawrence M. Krauss / quote
