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

Brian Greene

Quantum mechanics, that big, new, spectacular remarkable idea is that you only predict probabilities, the likelihood of one outcome or another. That’s the new idea.
BRIAN GREENE

Another Predict Probabilities The Likelihood
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.
BRIAN GREENE

Dimensions Ideas Imagine
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.
BRIAN GREENE

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

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.

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

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.

Car Doe Energy
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.
BRIAN GREENE

Needs Opposites Way
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.
BRIAN GREENE

Answers Asking May
I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
BRIAN GREENE

Every Day Mesh Strings
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.

Bread Extra Space Universe
Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.

I like ‘The Simpsons’ quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It’s great.

…things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice.
BRIAN GREENE

Notice Universe Way
Falsifiability for a theory is great, but a theory can still be respectable even if it is not falsifiable, as long as it is verifiable.
BRIAN GREENE

Long Respectable Theory
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.
