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

Brian Greene

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.

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

Cosmos Eternity Instead Quieter
The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.

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

Confusion Process Understanding
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
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.

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

Dark Opponent Physical Wrestling
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner.

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

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.
BRIAN GREENE

Book Different Writing
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.
BRIAN GREENE

Moments Thinking Want
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

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that’s been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.

Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you’ve built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink.
BRIAN GREENE

Challenges Space Thinking
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.
