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

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

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.

For most people, the major hurdle in grasping modern insights into the nature of the universe is that these developments are usually phrased using mathematics.

The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that’s been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.

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.

I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
