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

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 -
The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.
BRIAN GREENE -
When I give this talk to a physics audience, I remove the quotes from my ‘Theorem’.
BRIAN GREENE -
Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that’s been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.
BRIAN GREENE -
Writing for the stage is different from writing for a book. You want to write in a way that an actor has material to work with, writing in the first person not the third person, and pulling out the dramatic elements in a bigger way for a stage presentation.
BRIAN GREENE -
Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.
