The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable.

Unweaving the Rainbow (1998)

Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we came to wake up in it?
