I came to realise that string theory offers us the best hope of finding a unified theory of all matter and forces. — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
There was quantum mechanics, string theory, and then there was the most mind-bending frontier of the natural world, women. — Marisha Pessl Copy Share Image
“Finiteness is not the only example in string theory of a conjecture that is widely believed but so far unproved.” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Because string theory is such a high-risk venture—unsupported by experiment, though very generously supported by the academic” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
String theory is 21 st century physics that fell accidentally into the 20th century. — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
I work in string theory. This is a branch of physics which assumes that the elementary objects in the universe are not… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
I hope we find evidence of dark matter in the lab and in outer space. This would go a long way to… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
One very important aspect of string theory is definitely testable. That was the prediction of supersymmetry, which emerged from string theory in… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
The idea that excites me the most concerns the two greatest puzzles in science: the origin of the universe, and the origin… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
The next big accelerator might be the ILC in Japan, a linear collider which might be able to probe the boundaries of… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Very much, string theory is simply a work in progress. What we are inching toward every day are predictions that within the… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn't like them too much, but they've got a big benefit, which is… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
“I had to get back to dealing with facts. One fact was that something bizarre was going on, but I'd be far… — Hilary Duff Copy Share Image
“Got to go sing in a few minutes... no, that's GOT to go sing in a few minutes, as in... GOT TO… — Gloria Smith Copy Share Image
One problem of the String Theory is that it's kind of a theory which can explain what the problems are, but the… — Peter Woit Copy Share Image
String theory?[pause] It closed the conceptual gulp between relativity and quantum mechanics. It postulates that subatomic particles are not points, but strings,… — Willie Garson Copy Share Image
We need a theory that goes before the Big Bang, and that's String Theory. String Theory says that perhaps two universes collided… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“I think string theory provides an explanation.” “Some think that it is only when two strings encounter each other and some qualities… — Liu Cixin Copy Share Image
Once again, my colleague Stephen Hawking has upset the apple cart. The event horizon surrounding a black hole was once though to… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“In string theory, the situation is very different. The law of motion dictates the laws of the forces. This is because all… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Particularly in physics, science’s fifty-year drift into the unscientific has recently reached a surreal apogee. String theory is widely considered ‘the only… — Gordon White Copy Share Image
“This tells us that M theory, if it exists, cannot describe a world in which space os continuous and one can pack… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“One night I begged Robin, a scientist by training, to watch Arthur Miller's 'Death of a Salesman' with me on PBS. He… — Mary Rose O'Reilley Copy Share Image
“Every culture has its own creation myth, its own cosmology. And in some respects every cosmology is true, even if I might… — Dennis J. McKenna Copy Share Image
“Both loop quantum gravity and string theory assert that there is an atomic structure to space. In the next two chapters we… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“This unification of forces and motion has a simple consequence. In a particle theory, you can freely add all kinds of forces,… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Extending Polyakov's argument, he found evidence that the string theory describing those emergent strings is actually a ten-dimensional supersymmetric string theory. Of… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Look at the size of the universe and look at what we're discovering about string theory. There's a wide-eyed sense of we're… — Rob Bell Copy Share Image
Even before string theory, especially as physics developed in the 20th century, it turned out that the equations that really work in… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
“Basically, string theory is the development of this visionary idea in a context of a fixed background of space and time. Loop… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
My belief is based on the fact that string theory is the first science in hundreds of years to be pursued in… — Philip Warren Anderson Copy Share Image
When we understand string theory, we will know how the universe began. It won't have much effect on how we live, but… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Throughout my work, I have assumed that the standard model is correct, and hence, the Higgs boson should be found. Although this… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
Every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
There is much unexplained in the world. It behooves us to be wary at all times. Just when you think you've got… — Jasper Fforde Copy Share Image
