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

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

Analysis Down Life Pondering Real
I can’t stand clutter. I can’t stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away.
BRIAN GREENE

Clutter Stand Stuff
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

Ideas Issues Real
So many galaxies, so many planets out there in the universe circling so many stars… it just feels like there’s a very good chance that there is another Earth-like planet out there that is able to support some kind of life similar to what we’re familiar with.
BRIAN GREENE

Chance Earth Good Stars Support
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
BRIAN GREENE

Heaven Specks Views
Falsifiability for a theory is great, but a theory can still be respectable even if it is not falsifiable, as long as it is verifiable.
BRIAN GREENE

Long Respectable Theory
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

Journey Long Thinking
If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of the universe endlessly twist and vibrate, rhythmically beating out the laws of the cosmos.
BRIAN GREENE

Labyrinth Law Twists
When I give this talk to a physics audience, I remove the quotes from my ‘Theorem’.
BRIAN GREENE

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

Needs Should States
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules… Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
BRIAN GREENE

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

Musical Particles Reality String Vibrating
I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
BRIAN GREENE

Enjoy Not Interested Reading
Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.
BRIAN GREENE

Art Feels Humans
I love it when real science finds a home in a fictional setting, where you take some real core idea of science and weave it through a fictional narrative in order to bring it to life, the way stories can. That’s my favorite thing.
BRIAN GREENE

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