I am very aware of the preciousness of
time
Seize the moment
act now.
I have spent my life traveling
across the universe inside my mind
through theoretical physics I have
thought to answer some of the great
questions but there are other challenges.
Other big questions which must be
answered and these will also need a new
generation who are interested, engaged
and with an understanding of science. How will we feed an ever-growing population,
provide clean water, generate renewable
energy, prevent any newer disease and slow
down global climate change. I hope that
science and technology will provide the
answers to these questions but it will
take people, human beings with knowledge
and understanding to implement these
solutions. One of the great revelations
of the Space Age has been the
perspective it has given humanity on
ourselves. When we see the Earth from
space we see ourselves as a whole. We see
the unity and not the deficiency. It
is such a simple image with a compelling message
One planet.
One human race.
We are here together and we need to live
together with tolerance and respect. We
must become global citizens. I have been
enormously privileged through my work
to be able to contribute to our
understanding of the universe but it
would be an empty universe indeed if it
were not for the people I love and who
love me.
We are all time travelers learning
together into the future. But let us work
together to make that future a place we
want to visit. Be brave, be determined
overcome the odds.
It can be done.
