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.

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

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.

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.

Needs Opposites Way
Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.

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
I can’t stand clutter. I can’t stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away.

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

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

Confusion Process Understanding
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.

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

Art Feels Humans
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
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
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?’
BRIAN GREENE

Daughter Love More Motivation
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 GREENE

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

Every Day Mesh Strings
