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.

Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.

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

Confusion Process Understanding
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.

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

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

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 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.
BRIAN GREENE

Goal Journey Looks
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.

About Big General Place String Universe
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.

Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.

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.

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

Every Day Mesh Strings
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.
BRIAN GREENE

Analysis Down Life Pondering Real
Every moment is as real as every other. Every ‘now,’ when you say, ‘This is the real moment,’ is as real as every other ‘now’ – and therefore all the moments are just out there. Just as every location in space is out there, I think every moment in time is out there, too.
BRIAN GREENE

Real Space Thinking
To tell you the truth, I’ve never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it’s hard to say.
BRIAN GREENE

Claim Dimensions Three
Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.
