Said on The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss

“Now, I didn't believe it for a second, because I was sure the observations were wrong. Because it's crazy that empty space has energy. It means if you take a part of space and you get rid of all the matter and all the radiation, anything, it weighs something. And that's absurd… And I was more shocked than anyone else that our prediction was correct.” — Lawrence M. Krauss, The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss

“This sounds like people complaining about string theory today. It could have easily been written by many physicists, but of course, it actually was written by Aristotle. He was so upset that the idea that mathematics, which is just a tool, should become a real descriptor of the universe.” — Lawrence M. Krauss, The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss

“His eponymous equation, the Drake equation, is absolutely ready for the ash heap of history. It's completely worthless from beginning to end.” — John Gertz, The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss
