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

Brian Greene

In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

So many galaxies, so many planets out there in the universe circling so many stars… it just feels like there’s a very good chance that there is another Earth-like planet out there that is able to support some kind of life similar to what we’re familiar with.

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,

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

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

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?

Writing for the stage is different from writing for a book. You want to write in a way that an actor has material to work with, writing in the first person not the third person, and pulling out the dramatic elements in a bigger way for a stage presentation.

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

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.

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