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.

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

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.

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

Confusion Process Understanding
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.

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

I’ve seen children’s eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang.

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

Musical Particles Reality String Vibrating
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.

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

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?’

Evidence in support of general relativity came quickly. Astronomers had long known that Mercury’s orbital motion around the sun deviated slightly from what Newton’s mathematics predicted. In 1915,

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

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.

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

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.
