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?

Brian Greene

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.

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.

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.

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

If someone wants to place the word ‘God’ on those collections of words, it’s OK with me.

It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.

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

Dark Opponent Physical Wrestling
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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Writing for the stage is different from writing for a book. You want to write in a way that an actor has material to work with, writing in the first person not the third person, and pulling out the dramatic elements in a bigger way for a stage presentation.
BRIAN GREENE

Book Different Writing
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.
