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

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

Journey Long Thinking
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.

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

The real question is whether all your pondering and analyses will convince you that life is worth living. That’s what it all comes down to.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.

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.

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

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.

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

Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules… Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
