If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of the universe endlessly twist and vibrate, rhythmically beating out the laws of the cosmos.

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.

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.

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.

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

String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner.

In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter.

Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.

Confusion Emotional Perspective
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.

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.

Holy Rather Something Testable Understand
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.

Needs Opposites Way
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.

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

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

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.

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.
