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

Brian Greene

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

Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.

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

I like to think that Einstein would look at string theory’s journey and smile, enjoying the theory’s remarkable geometrical features while feeling kinship with fellow travelers on the long and winding road toward unification.

In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.

Hard Passion Teaching
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.
