To tell you the truth, I’ve never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it’s hard to say.

Brian Greene

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

Evidence in support of general relativity came quickly. Astronomers had long known that Mercury’s orbital motion around the sun deviated slightly from what Newton’s mathematics predicted. In 1915,

You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.

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

The strings of string theory are vibrating the particles, vibrating the forces of nature into existence, those vibrations are sort of like musical notes. So string theory, if it’s correct, would be playing out the score of the universe.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of the universe endlessly twist and vibrate, rhythmically beating out the laws of the cosmos.

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.

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.

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

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