String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner.
BRIAN GREENEThe idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.
BRIAN GREENE -
We do not know whether there are extra dimensions or multiverse. Let’s go forward with the possible ideas that come out of the mathematics. It’s hard for us to imagine a universe that would have no time at all.
BRIAN GREENE -
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules… Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
BRIAN GREENE -
Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.
BRIAN GREENE -
…things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice.
BRIAN GREENE -
Quantum Mechanics is different. Its weirdness is evident without comparison. It is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition, because quantum mechanics shatters our own personal, individual conception of reality
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
If someone wants to place the word ‘God’ on those collections of words, it’s OK with me.
BRIAN GREENE -
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.
BRIAN GREENE -
The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.
BRIAN GREENE -
Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.
BRIAN GREENE -
I love it when real science finds a home in a fictional setting, where you take some real core idea of science and weave it through a fictional narrative in order to bring it to life, the way stories can. That’s my favorite thing.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
