>>Neil Turok: Well, as a child, I got into
science, collecting beetles, playing with
experiments, doing mathematics. The '60s were
-- was an era of great hope and optimism.
And we left South Africa -- after my parents
had both been to jail, we left South Africa
and we lived in East Africa in Kenya and Tanzania,
young countries really with incredible hope
for the future at that time.
And after that, we went to London, to the
U.K, and arrived just in time to see this,
Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon. And that
was the spirit of my childhood, is that there
was nothing that couldn't be done if you put
your mind to it.
