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.

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.
BRIAN GREENE

Ideas Scientist Way
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.

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

According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large across the sky. To me, this realization is one of the greatest wonders of the modern scientific age.

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

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.

If someone wants to place the word ‘God’ on those collections of words, it’s OK with me.

…things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice.

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.

But can we really understand that or put rigorous mathematics or testable experiments against that? Not yet. So one of the big holy grail of physics is to understand why there is something rather than nothing.
BRIAN GREENE

Holy Rather Something Testable Understand
Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.

The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality.

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

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