But if you think about a practical implication of enriching your life and giving you a sense of being part of a larger cosmos and possibly being able to use this [gravitational waves] as a tool in the future.

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

Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.

Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

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.

Chance Earth Good Stars Support
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.

Ideas Issues Real
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.

I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
BRIAN GREENE

Every Day Mesh Strings
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.

Needs Should States
I was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, ‘Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.’ And she turned to me and said, ‘Daddy, universe or multiverse?’

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

Confusion Process Understanding
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.
BRIAN GREENE

Answers Asking May
And putting together the probabilities of quantum mechanics with the certainty of general relativity, that’s been the big challenge and that’s why we have been excited about string theory, as it’s one of the only approaches that can put it together.

About Big General Place String Universe
The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality.

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

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

Dark Opponent Physical Wrestling
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.
