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.

Brian Greene

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

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.

Journey Long Thinking
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.

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

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

Every Day Mesh Strings
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
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.

Real Space Thinking
When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline’s mass into energy, in accord with Einstein’s formula.

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

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

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

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

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

Bigs Dimensions Eye
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

Bread Extra Space Universe
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

Ideas Issues Real
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.
