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

Brian Greene

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.

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

Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

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.

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