And to understand that we do not know anything about it.

Stephen Hawking

In the "selfish gene" Dawkins writes about the evolution of how living things adapt to their environment, and it is why we are what we are.

Christopher Nolan

To science as many people as possible, it is necessary to make interesting for the mass audience. It managed to do by a Nolan film "Interstellar".
