Physics and computer science help in the programming aspects of making a game. Math helps in balancing game-play and making rules and fine art is obviously helpful in just making a game look good.

I don't think Brian Cox does 'The Wonders of the Solar System' because he believes the world would be a better place if people understood about the rings of Saturn; I just think he finds physics extremely interesting. It brings him joy, and he wants to spread the love. I feel the same about economics.

Following graduation from high school in 1948, I attended Harvard University where I became a physics major. Having grown up in a small town, I found Harvard to be an enormously enriching experience. Students in my class came from all walks of life and from a great variety of geographical locations.

Extra dimensional theories are sometimes considered science fiction with equations. I think that's a wrong attitude. I think extra dimensions are with us, they are with us to stay, and they entered physics a long time ago. They are not going to go away.

I'm doing physics because I'm curious about how it works - full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes, don't worry about whether somebody is going to be able to do an experiment next week, just figure it out.

Wireless carriers, they have a proud history of working with local communities and trying to meet their wireless needs, and also their wishes about where would be best to put infrastructure. That is a tough challenge. People will say we want wireless service but we don't want those towers, but the laws of physics don't allow you to have it both ways.

We will continue to invest in whatever the laws of semiconductor physics will allow on a 32-bit architecture for servers and workstations, ... As long as we can deliver benefit and value and meet customer needs, 32-bit processors will be available. We will introduce Cascades (a 32-bit upgrade) at the end of this year and Foster (another 32-bit upgrade) next year, and then we show (on our roadmap) some unnamed bubbles beyond that into 2001.

The reshaping of education through e-learning leads me to observe that international course-taking is on the horizon, ... Imagine students at UCLA taking courses at Oxford, and students in Tokyo learning physics from a professor at Duke.

Quantum physics is a bit of a passion of mine. It's extraordinary. There's a branch of mathematics that is based on lunacy, and that's wonderful.

When they did the Pentium M, they were under tight constraints on power. Now, desktop and server are facing similar kinds of constraints. It's not so much battery life as it is noise, just the physics of cooling a really hot, small chip.
