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

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.

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.
BRIAN GREENE

Dimensions Ideas Imagine
String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space.

I can’t stand clutter. I can’t stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away.

Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.

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.

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

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

When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline’s mass into energy, in accord with Einstein’s formula.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that’s been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.

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

I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life.

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

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

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