Writing for the stage is different from writing for a book. You want to write in a way that an actor has material to work with, writing in the first person not the third person, and pulling out the dramatic elements in a bigger way for a stage presentation.

Brian Greene

I’ve seen children’s eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang.

Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules… Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
BRIAN GREENE

Mathematics Science
But can we really understand that or put rigorous mathematics or testable experiments against that? Not yet. So one of the big holy grail of physics is to understand why there is something rather than nothing.
BRIAN GREENE

Holy Rather Something Testable Understand
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?

Heaven Specks Views
Quantum mechanics, that big, new, spectacular remarkable idea is that you only predict probabilities, the likelihood of one outcome or another. That’s the new idea.
BRIAN GREENE

Another Predict Probabilities The Likelihood
The absolute worst thing that you ever can do, in my opinion, in bringing science to the general public, is be condescending or judgmental. It is so opposite to the way science needs to be brought forth.
BRIAN GREENE

Needs Opposites Way
$Brian Greene Quote - That is, you can have nothingness, absolute nothingness for maybe a tiny fraction of a second, if a second can be defined in that arena, but then it falls apart into a something and an anti-something. And that something is then what we call the universe.$

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

Cosmology is among the oldest subjects to captivate our species. And it’s no wonder. We’re storytellers, and what could be more grand than the story of creation?
BRIAN GREENE

Creation Stories Wonder
…things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice.
BRIAN GREENE

Notice Universe Way
Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you’ve built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink.
BRIAN GREENE

Challenges Space Thinking
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
BRIAN GREENE

Confusion Process Understanding
Every moment is as real as every other. Every ‘now,’ when you say, ‘This is the real moment,’ is as real as every other ‘now’ – and therefore all the moments are just out there. Just as every location in space is out there, I think every moment in time is out there, too.
BRIAN GREENE

Real Space Thinking
To tell you the truth, I’ve never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it’s hard to say.
BRIAN GREENE

Claim Dimensions Three
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.
BRIAN GREENE

Needs Should States
If someone wants to place the word ‘God’ on those collections of words, it’s OK with me.
BRIAN GREENE

God OK Out Someone Word
