I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life.

Brian Greene

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

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.

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

Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.

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

And putting together the probabilities of quantum mechanics with the certainty of general relativity, that’s been the big challenge and that’s why we have been excited about string theory, as it’s one of the only approaches that can put it together.

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

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.

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

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
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
In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity.

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

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.
