Brian Greene

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

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.

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

I like to think that Einstein would look at string theory’s journey and smile, enjoying the theory’s remarkable geometrical features while feeling kinship with fellow travelers on the long and winding road toward unification.

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

Mind Reality Tuition
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
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.

Another Predict Probabilities The Likelihood
I can’t stand clutter. I can’t stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away.

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

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

Cosmos Eternity Instead Quieter
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
I would say in one sentence my goal is to at least be part of the journey to find the unified theory that Einstein himself was really the first to look for.

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

The 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.
BRIAN GREENE

Analysis Down Life Pondering Real
Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.
BRIAN GREENE

Choices Law Real
Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent.
