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.

Brian Greene

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

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.

It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.

Hard Passion Teaching
We’re on this planet for the briefest of moments in cosmic terms, and I want to spend that time thinking about what I consider the deepest questions.

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

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

Character Irreverent Shows
I believe that through its rational evaluation of truth and indifference to personal belief, science transcends religious and political divisions and so does bind us into a greater, more resilient whole.

Believe Political Religious
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.

Long Respectable Theory
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.
BRIAN GREENE

Play Score Strings Vibration
If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of the universe endlessly twist and vibrate, rhythmically beating out the laws of the cosmos.

I like to think that Einstein would look at string theory’s journey and smile, enjoying the theory’s remarkable geometrical features while feeling kinship with fellow travelers on the long and winding road toward unification.

Journey Long Thinking
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.

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

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