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.
BRIAN GREENEThere’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.

You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.
BRIAN GREENE -
Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.
BRIAN GREENE -
I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
BRIAN GREENE -
Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you’ve built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink.

Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.

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.
BRIAN GREENE -
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
BRIAN GREENE -
Quantum Mechanics is different. Its weirdness is evident without comparison. It is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition, because quantum mechanics shatters our own personal, individual conception of reality

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 -
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 -
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.

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 -
I would say in one sentence my goal is to at least be part of the journey to find the unified theory that Einstein himself was really the first to look for.
BRIAN GREENE -
Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.
BRIAN GREENE -
It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.
