I like ‘The Simpsons’ quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It’s great.
BRIAN GREENEEvidence in support of general relativity came quickly. Astronomers had long known that Mercury’s orbital motion around the sun deviated slightly from what Newton’s mathematics predicted. In 1915,

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 -
To tell you the truth, I’ve never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it’s hard to say.
BRIAN GREENE -
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 -
The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.
BRIAN GREENE -
There’s no way that scientists can ever rule out religion, or even have anything significant to say about the abstract idea of a divine creator.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.

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 -
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 -
When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline’s mass into energy, in accord with Einstein’s formula.
BRIAN GREENE -
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
BRIAN GREENE -
Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.
BRIAN GREENE -
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.
BRIAN GREENE -
Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.
BRIAN GREENE -
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules… Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
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.
