There's something really beautiful about science, that human beings can ask these questions and can answer them. You can make models of nature and understand how it works.

At least in part, people are attracted to subjects where they can identify at a basic level with the people who do it. The extraordinary aesthetic of the natural world is not obvious to someone who never leaves the inner city. Appreciation of the elegance and power of physical law is an acquired taste.

There are things done under the name of science which are ridiculous. But there is also stuff done which sounds funny but is really serious.
