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

Brian Greene

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.

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

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

Dark Opponent Physical Wrestling
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
BRIAN GREENE

Confusion Process Understanding
Cosmology is among the oldest subjects to captivate our species. And it’s no wonder. We’re storytellers, and what could be more grand than the story of creation?
BRIAN GREENE

Creation Stories Wonder
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
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.

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

Mind Reality Tuition
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

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

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

Character Irreverent Shows
Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.
BRIAN GREENE

Cosmos Eternity Instead Quieter
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
BRIAN GREENE

Heaven Specks Views
String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space.
BRIAN GREENE

Bread Extra Space Universe
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.
BRIAN GREENE

Another Predict Probabilities The Likelihood
I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
BRIAN GREENE
