To declare that Earth must be the only planet with life in the universe would be inexcusably bigheaded of us.

• If an artist is reaching for the universe as a source of creative muse, then I'm there. I'm gonna say, "Yeah. Here's Saturn. Here's a black hole. Here's twisted space-time. Talk to me. What do you need? What do you want?" And I'll just feed you, because I think only then does science become mainstream - when science becomes a legitimate topic for artists.

• If humans one day become extinct from a catastrophic collision, there would be no greater tragedy in the history of life in the universe. Not because we lacked the brain power to protect ourselves but because we lacked the foresight. The dominant species that replaces us in post-apocalyptic Earth just might wonder, as they gaze upon our mounted skeletons in their natural history museums, why large headed Homo sapiens fared no better than the proverbially peabrained dinosaurs.

• Imagine a life-form whose brainpower is to ours as ours is to a chimpanzee’s. To such a species, our highest mental achievements would be trivial. Their toddlers, instead of learning their ABCs on Sesame Street, would learn multivariable calculus on Boolean Boulevard. Our most complex theorems, our deepest philosophies, the cherished works of our most creative artists, would be projects their schoolkids bring home for Mom and Dad to display on the refrigerator door.

• En ciencia, si no lo haces tú, lo hará otro. Mientras que en el arte, si Beethoven no compuso la "Novena Sinfonía", nadie antes ni después va a componer la "Novena Sinfonía" que él compuso; nadie más va a pintar la "Noche estrellada" de Van Gogh.

• En el fondo de cualquier persona hay una llama que tal vez había quedado dormida y que puede avivarse o encenderse en caso de que se hubiera apagado.

• Aunque el principio copernicano no ofrece garantías de que vaya a guiarnos para siempre hacia las verdades cósmicas, hasta ahora ha funcionado bastante bien: no sólo la Tierra no está en el centro del sistema solar, sino que el sistema solar no está en el centro de la Vía Láctea, la Vía Láctea no está en el centro del universo, y puede que nuestro universo sea sólo uno de los muchos que componen un multiverso. Y por si eres de los que piensan que el borde puede ser un lugar especial, tampoco estamos en el borde de nada.
