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

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

Another Predict Probabilities The Likelihood
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
If someone wants to place the word ‘God’ on those collections of words, it’s OK with me.
BRIAN GREENE

God OK Out Someone Word
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
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.
BRIAN GREENE

Needs Should States
Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.
BRIAN GREENE

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

Cosmos Eternity Instead Quieter
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.
BRIAN GREENE

Needs Opposites Way
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.
BRIAN GREENE

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

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

Bigs Dimensions Eye
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
BRIAN GREENE

Confusion Process Understanding
Falsifiability for a theory is great, but a theory can still be respectable even if it is not falsifiable, as long as it is verifiable.
BRIAN GREENE

Long Respectable Theory
We’re on this planet for the briefest of moments in cosmic terms, and I want to spend that time thinking about what I consider the deepest questions.
BRIAN GREENE

Moments Thinking Want
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
