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

Brian Greene

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

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

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.

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

When I give this talk to a physics audience, I remove the quotes from my ‘Theorem’.

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

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.

Another Predict Probabilities The Likelihood
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.

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.

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

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.

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,

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

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