A lot of people think that  somehow gaining knowledge

detracts from its mystery,  detracts from its beauty.

The more we understand,  the more we can appreciate,

whereas remaining in ignorance,  that's just darkness,

is called "The World  According to Physics."

I tend to think of our  knowledge of the Universe

The interior of the island is  the well-established science

and beyond it, is the  ocean of the unknown.

Of course, we don't know whether  that ocean goes on forever.

As we gain in our knowledge  and our understanding,

We can take a paddle out  into the water to see

some of the mysteries that  we're trying to tackle now

There are certain questions  that we have always asked

They're certainly the big  questions in science today,

but they've been questions  we've been asking for millennia.

They may be questions that  we'll never find answers to.

the nature of humankind;  that we want the answers

There's this notion  that somehow scientists

have this sterile, clinical,  logical, rational view

On the contrary, everything I learn about how the world is

The idea that Newton discovered  that the invisible force

is exactly the same force  keeping the moon

in orbit around the Earth  is utterly profound;

I remember, as a student,  sitting in a lecture

being told about the equations  of electromagnetism;

the professor wrote down  equations on the board.

And he said, "And that  is the speed of light.

And that tells you that light  is an electromagnetic wave."

and, you know, even as  I'm telling you this now,

I have that same shiver  going down my spine.

So our growing understanding  really tells us

That is not to say that we  haven't come a long way.

We do know a lot about the  building blocks of matter,

is down in the fine  nitty-gritty detail.

And it may well be that some  of the ideas we have today,

Ten, twenty years from now,  I probably wouldn't be saying

something too different  to what I'm saying today.

But 100 years from now, and  certainly 1,000 years from now,

I may look back on the Jim  of the early 21st century

and think that I was just as  naive as the medieval scholars

I think a lot of scientists  are realizing

that having this silo  mentality of having expertise

in one field to address  some of the big questions,

We're getting ever more interdisciplinary.

I'm a physicist, so I  would argue that physics

is, of course, the best way  of learning about the world.

It's an arrogant view, and I  think it's not exactly true.
