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.

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.

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.

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

The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that’s been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

…things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice.

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