Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.

Brian Greene

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

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.

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

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
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.

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

I like ‘The Simpsons’ quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It’s great.

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.

When I give this talk to a physics audience, I remove the quotes from my ‘Theorem’.

Giving Mathematics Physics
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.

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

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

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.
BRIAN GREENE

Holy Rather Something Testable Understand
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.
