A few thoughts from Prof. Pollock...
Future Plans ?
"to make God laugh, tell him your plans"
(from "A Weekend in the Country", film, 1995)
The pursuit of physical understanding of our universe is a noble undertaking. It is unlikely to lead to fame or fortune - its rewards lie inwards, as in the fleeting moments of satisfaction when one glimpses a new insight into the workings of nature, and shares this with colleagues and students.
Having been privileged to play a small role in this quest over nearly four decades, I can imagine no better future than to continue this work.
Comment on Research
"When you don't know where you're going, every road will take you there",
presented as an old Yiddish proverb by the actor playing Rabbi Alan Schulman
on the last episode of the television series "Northern Exposure".
Thought for Today
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do
nothing", attributed to Edmund Burke, 1729-1797.
