Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
BRIAN GREENEThe real question is whether all your pondering and analyses will convince you that life is worth living. That’s what it all comes down to.

The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.
BRIAN GREENE -
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 -
The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.
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 -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
I can’t stand clutter. I can’t stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.

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.

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

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.
BRIAN GREENE -
It’s hard to teach passionately about something that you don’t have a passion for.
BRIAN GREENE -
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
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.
