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.

Brian Greene

I would say in one sentence my goal is to at least be part of the journey to find the unified theory that Einstein himself was really the first to look for.

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

But can we really understand that or put rigorous mathematics or testable experiments against that? Not yet. So one of the big holy grail of physics is to understand why there is something rather than nothing.

Holy Rather Something Testable Understand
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.

The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.

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

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

Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.

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

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.

Cosmology is among the oldest subjects to captivate our species. And it’s no wonder. We’re storytellers, and what could be more grand than the story of creation?

A watch worn by a particle of light would not tick at all. Light realizes the dreams of Ponce de Leon and the cosmetics industry: it doesn’t age.

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

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

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.

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