String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space.
BRIAN GREENEI enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.

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.
BRIAN GREENE -
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner.
BRIAN GREENE -
Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

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.

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.

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?

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

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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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 -
Cosmology is among the oldest subjects to captivate our species. And it’s no wonder. We’re storytellers, and what could be more grand than the story of creation?
BRIAN GREENE -
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 -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
