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

Brian Greene

We’re on this planet for the briefest of moments in cosmic terms, and I want to spend that time thinking about what I consider the deepest questions.

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.

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

In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity.

Ideas Issues Real
I love it when real science finds a home in a fictional setting, where you take some real core idea of science and weave it through a fictional narrative in order to bring it to life, the way stories can. That’s my favorite thing.

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

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.

Book Different Writing
There’s no way that scientists can ever rule out religion, or even have anything significant to say about the abstract idea of a divine creator.

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

And putting together the probabilities of quantum mechanics with the certainty of general relativity, that’s been the big challenge and that’s why we have been excited about string theory, as it’s one of the only approaches that can put it together.

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

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.
