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

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

Another Predict Probabilities The Likelihood
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner.
BRIAN GREENE

Believe Mechanic Together
Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.
BRIAN GREENE

Confusion Emotional Perspective
Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.

Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.

$Brian Greene Quote - That is, you can have nothingness, absolute nothingness for maybe a tiny fraction of a second, if a second can be defined in that arena, but then it falls apart into a something and an anti-something. And that something is then what we call the universe.$

Fall Grail Holy Tiny
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.

A watch worn by a particle of light would not tick at all. Light realizes the dreams of Ponce de Leon and the cosmetics industry: it doesn’t age.
BRIAN GREENE

Age Dream Light
Cosmology is among the oldest subjects to captivate our species. And it’s no wonder. We’re storytellers, and what could be more grand than the story of creation?
BRIAN GREENE

Creation Stories Wonder
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.
BRIAN GREENE

Answers Asking May
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.

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

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

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

Cosmos Eternity Instead Quieter
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
…things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice.
