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

Brian Greene

Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent.

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

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

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.

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

Every Day Mesh Strings
Every moment is as real as every other. Every ‘now,’ when you say, ‘This is the real moment,’ is as real as every other ‘now’ – and therefore all the moments are just out there. Just as every location in space is out there, I think every moment in time is out there, too.

Real Space Thinking
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 was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, ‘Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.’ And she turned to me and said, ‘Daddy, universe or multiverse?’

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

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

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

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.
BRIAN GREENE

Believe Political Religious
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.

To tell you the truth, I’ve never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it’s hard to say.

Claim Dimensions Three
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.

Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.
