The absolute worst thing that you ever can do, in my opinion, in bringing science to the general public, is be condescending or judgmental. It is so opposite to the way science needs to be brought forth.

Brian Greene

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.

Play Score Strings Vibration
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules… Mathematicians are more like classical composers.

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
BRIAN GREENE

Confusion Process Understanding
I can’t stand clutter. I can’t stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away.
BRIAN GREENE

Clutter Stand Stuff
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.

Holy Rather Something Testable Understand
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

Age Diamond Sky Space
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.

Chance Earth Good Stars Support
To tell you the truth, I’ve never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it’s hard to say.
BRIAN GREENE

Claim Dimensions Three
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.

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.

Another Predict Probabilities The Likelihood
I like ‘The Simpsons’ quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It’s great.

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

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

Every Day Mesh Strings
It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.
BRIAN GREENE

Hard Passion Teaching
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.
