Quote of the day:
“It doesn’t take a great leap of faith to imagine science a few thousand years into the future will be very different from what it is today. Down the line, I imagine what we intuitively feel or describe as spiritual will fall into the domain of science, but it will be a type of science that in today’s terms we wouldn’t recognize at all.”
