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

Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.
BRIAN GREENE -
It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
BRIAN GREENE -
…things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice.
BRIAN GREENE -
Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.
BRIAN GREENE -
Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you’ve built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink.
BRIAN GREENE -

BRIAN GREENE -

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 -
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 -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
I would say in one sentence my goal is to at least be part of the journey to find the unified theory that Einstein himself was really the first to look for.
