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.

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

For most people, the major hurdle in grasping modern insights into the nature of the universe is that these developments are usually phrased using mathematics.

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

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

Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.

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.

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

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

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

Clutter Stand Stuff
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.

Real Space Thinking
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.

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

Dark Opponent Physical Wrestling
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.
