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

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
BRIAN GREENE -
If someone wants to place the word ‘God’ on those collections of words, it’s OK with me.
BRIAN GREENE -
When I give this talk to a physics audience, I remove the quotes from my ‘Theorem’.
BRIAN GREENE -
In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter.
BRIAN GREENE -
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 -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.

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?

Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.

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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
We do not know whether there are extra dimensions or multiverse. Let’s go forward with the possible ideas that come out of the mathematics. It’s hard for us to imagine a universe that would have no time at all.
BRIAN GREENE -
Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.
