Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

Brian Greene

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
BRIAN GREENE

Mind Reality Tuition
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.

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

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.

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.

Enjoy Not Interested Reading
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.

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

…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
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.
