In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity.
BRIAN GREENE…things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice.

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.

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 -
Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.
BRIAN GREENE -
Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.
BRIAN GREENE -
So many galaxies, so many planets out there in the universe circling so many stars… it just feels like there’s a very good chance that there is another Earth-like planet out there that is able to support some kind of life similar to what we’re familiar with.

I like ‘The Simpsons’ quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It’s great.
BRIAN GREENE -
Evidence in support of general relativity came quickly. Astronomers had long known that Mercury’s orbital motion around the sun deviated slightly from what Newton’s mathematics predicted. In 1915,

The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality.
BRIAN GREENE -
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 -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
Falsifiability for a theory is great, but a theory can still be respectable even if it is not falsifiable, as long as it is verifiable.
BRIAN GREENE -
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner.
BRIAN GREENE -
Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.
