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

Brian Greene

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

When I give this talk to a physics audience, I remove the quotes from my ‘Theorem’.

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.

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

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.

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

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

I’ve seen children’s eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang.

I love it when real science finds a home in a fictional setting, where you take some real core idea of science and weave it through a fictional narrative in order to bring it to life, the way stories can. That’s my favorite thing.

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.

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

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

Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline’s mass into energy, in accord with Einstein’s formula.

The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.
