The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality.

Brian Greene

Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.

Quantum Mechanics is different. Its weirdness is evident without comparison. It is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition, because quantum mechanics shatters our own personal, individual conception of reality

The real question is whether all your pondering and analyses will convince you that life is worth living. That’s what it all comes down to.

I was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, ‘Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.’ And she turned to me and said, ‘Daddy, universe or multiverse?’

Evidence in support of general relativity came quickly. Astronomers had long known that Mercury’s orbital motion around the sun deviated slightly from what Newton’s mathematics predicted. In 1915,

Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

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.

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.

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

Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.
