I believe that through its rational evaluation of truth and indifference to personal belief, science transcends religious and political divisions and so does bind us into a greater, more resilient whole.

Brian Greene

String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner.

The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.

According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large across the sky. To me, this realization is one of the greatest wonders of the modern scientific age.

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.

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.

For most people, the major hurdle in grasping modern insights into the nature of the universe is that these developments are usually phrased using mathematics.

The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.

Answers Asking May
We do not know whether there are extra dimensions or multiverse. Let’s go forward with the possible ideas that come out of the mathematics. It’s hard for us to imagine a universe that would have no time at all.

Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent.

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.

Challenges Space Thinking
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.

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

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

But if you think about a practical implication of enriching your life and giving you a sense of being part of a larger cosmos and possibly being able to use this [gravitational waves] as a tool in the future.

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
