We Could Tell Them [alien Civilization] Things That We Have Discovered In The Realm Of Mathematical Physics, But There Is Stuff That I Would Like To Know. There Are Some Famous Problems Like How To Bring Gravitation And Quantum Physics Together, The Long-sought-after Theory Of Quantum Gravity. But It May Be Hard To Understand The Answer That Comes Back.

The Vast Majority Of Terrestrial Species Are In Fact Microbes, And Scientists Have Only Begun Scratching The Surface Of The Microbial Realm. It Is Entirely Possible That Examples Of Life As We Don't Know It Have So Far Been Overlooked.

It Is Possible That A Scientific Discovery Will Be Made That Humans Will Later Regret Because It Has Awful Consequences. The Problem Is, We Probably Would Not Know In Advance And, Once The Discovery Is Made, It Cannot Be Undiscovered.

For Me, Science Is Already Fantastical Enough. Unlocking The Secrets Of Nature With Fundamental Physics Or Cosmology Or Astrobiology Leads You Into A Wonderland Compared With Which Beliefs In Things Like Alien Abductions Pale Into Insignificance.

It Is Hard To Resist The Impression That The Present Structure Of The Universe, Apparently So Sensitive To Minor Alterations In Numbers, Has Been Rather Carefully Thought Out...the Seemingly Miraculous Concurrence Of These Numerical Values Must Remain The Most Compelling Evidence For Cosmic Design.

Cancer Is Not Something Confined To Human Beings. It's Found In All Multi Cellular Organisms Where The Adult Cells Proliferate, So It's Widespread In The Biosphere. It's A Phenomenon That Is Deeply Related To The History Of Life Itself, So By Studying Cancer I Think We Can Illuminate The History Of Life Itself And Vice Versa.
