Science is what's called an infinite game.

There is no winning.

I can't win science.

You specialize in one field and it's incredible competition.

But as many of these people say, they basically are relay racers in this infinite chain, this race that goes back to prehistoric times when the first person came out of a cave and said, what are those dots in the night?

What are those things up there?

Where do they come from?

Where do I come from?

So you're in this race, in this really race, and you get the baton for a very short amount of time.

You run your leg, but your job is to pass it on.

So be a hero to other people.

Be in awe of other people that came before you.

But realize you're one part in this infinite race against an unbeatable, in Mother Nature's undefeated.

Yeah, likewise, man.

I've been following you and you're blowing up like the Big Bang yourself.

So it's a pleasure to be back on the show again.

We shouldn't wait, you know.

for just every presidential election cycle to be together.

It's so funny that you say that because, A, Edwin Hubble, who's the famous namesake of the Hubble Space Telescope, is the man who 100 years ago proposed that the universe is expanding and discovered evidence for it.

He was a great athlete too.
