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

Brian Greene

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

If someone wants to place the word ‘God’ on those collections of words, it’s OK with me.

God OK Out Someone Word
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.

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?’

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

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

Evidence 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,

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

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
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.

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.

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

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.

I like ‘The Simpsons’ quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It’s great.
