To be honest, I wasn't a sci-fi geek at all. But I do love a good sci-fi film, especially one that can really take you away.

We do it in science all the time - there's no reason why we can't do it in other endeavors. ↗

Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them. ↗
