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

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.

Analysis Down Life Pondering Real
Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you’ve built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink.

Challenges Space Thinking
Cosmology is among the oldest subjects to captivate our species. And it’s no wonder. We’re storytellers, and what could be more grand than the story of creation?

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

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

Choices Law Real
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.

Play Score Strings Vibration
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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.

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