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

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

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.
BRIAN GREENE -
Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.

BRIAN GREENE -
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?
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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 enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
BRIAN GREENE -
When I give this talk to a physics audience, I remove the quotes from my ‘Theorem’.
BRIAN GREENE -
Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.
BRIAN GREENE -
I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
