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

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

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.

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.

Confusion Process Understanding
Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.

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.

Ideas Issues Real
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules… Mathematicians are more like classical composers.

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.

I can’t stand clutter. I can’t stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away.

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

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.

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

But if you think about a practical implication of enriching your life and giving you a sense of being part of a larger cosmos and possibly being able to use this [gravitational waves] as a tool in the future.

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.

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
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.
