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.

Brian Greene

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

Notice Universe 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
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?

Creation Stories Wonder
But if you think about a practical implication of enriching your life and giving you a sense of being part of a larger cosmos and possibly being able to use this [gravitational waves] as a tool in the future.

Black Giving Thinking
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.

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

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

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

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

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

Dark Opponent Physical Wrestling
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
Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

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

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
BRIAN GREENE

Confusion Process Understanding
Every moment is as real as every other. Every ‘now,’ when you say, ‘This is the real moment,’ is as real as every other ‘now’ – and therefore all the moments are just out there. Just as every location in space is out there, I think every moment in time is out there, too.
BRIAN GREENE

Real Space Thinking
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.
