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.

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.

Ideas Issues Real
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.

Confusion Process Understanding
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.

Writing for the stage is different from writing for a book. You want to write in a way that an actor has material to work with, writing in the first person not the third person, and pulling out the dramatic elements in a bigger way for a stage presentation.

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

Choices Law Real
I believe that through its rational evaluation of truth and indifference to personal belief, science transcends religious and political divisions and so does bind us into a greater, more resilient whole.

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.

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.

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.

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

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

A watch worn by a particle of light would not tick at all. Light realizes the dreams of Ponce de Leon and the cosmetics industry: it doesn’t age.
BRIAN GREENE

Age Dream Light
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
