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.

Brian Greene

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

According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large across the sky. To me, this realization is one of the greatest wonders of the modern scientific age.

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

I was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, ‘Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.’ And she turned to me and said, ‘Daddy, universe or multiverse?’

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.

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.

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.

Play Score Strings Vibration
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.

Chance Earth Good Stars Support
If someone wants to place the word ‘God’ on those collections of words, it’s OK with me.

God OK Out Someone Word
I believe that through its rational evaluation of truth and indifference to personal belief, science transcends religious and political divisions and so does bind us into a greater, more resilient whole.

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

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.

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.
BRIAN GREENE

Development Modern People
But can we really understand that or put rigorous mathematics or testable experiments against that? Not yet. So one of the big holy grail of physics is to understand why there is something rather than nothing.
BRIAN GREENE

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