Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low Picture Quote #1

After finishing the gymnasium in Muenchen with 9 years of Latin and 6 years of ancient Greek, history and philosophy, I decided to become a physicist. The great theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, an university colleague of my late father, advised me to begin with an apprenticeship in precision mechanics Picture Quote #1

The brain is biology’s greatest challenge. Perhaps in a sense it is the greatest challenge for science as a whole, beyond moon landings, the ultimate particles of the physicist and the depths of astronomical space Picture Quote #1

I think the appropriate response for a physicist is: ‘I do not find the concept of God very interesting, because I cannot test it.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m not a science fiction writer, I’m a physicist. These are scientists who are making the future in their laboratories Picture Quote #1
