What do You do with Your Time?

"We have these big brains, and a limited amount of time. So what to do? A lot of people spend their time making money, sometimes with the hope that they'll be able to do what they want after they make it. But you never get that time back. Theoretical physics is the most abstractly beautiful and challenging pursuit there is. It's what I want to spend my time thinking about, so that's what I do. But all thinking and no action would make for a dull life. So I surf."
– Garrett Lisi, theoretical physicist, in an interview with Sabine Hossenfelder, Aug. 5, 2007
