How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?

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.

…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.

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.

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

$Brian Greene Quote - That is, you can have nothingness, absolute nothingness for maybe a tiny fraction of a second, if a second can be defined in that arena, but then it falls apart into a something and an anti-something. And that something is then what we call the universe.$

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.

Long Respectable Theory
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.

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

Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.

I was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, ‘Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.’ And she turned to me and said, ‘Daddy, universe or multiverse?’

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

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