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

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.

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

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

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

Answers Asking May
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Quantum Mechanics is different. Its weirdness is evident without comparison. It is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition, because quantum mechanics shatters our own personal, individual conception of reality

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.

I was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, ‘Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.’ And she turned to me and said, ‘Daddy, universe or multiverse?’

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

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.

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

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