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?

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large across the sky. To me, this realization is one of the greatest wonders of the modern scientific age.

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

A watch worn by a particle of light would not tick at all. Light realizes the dreams of Ponce de Leon and the cosmetics industry: it doesn’t age.

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

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.

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

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

The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality.

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.

About Big General Place String Universe
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.

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

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
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

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

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