Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible… — Roy H. Williams Copy Share Image
As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
The central idea of string theory is quite straightforward. If you examine any piece of matter ever more finely, at first you'll… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“The loop approach to quantum gravity is now a thriving field of research. Many of the older ideas, such as supergravity and… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Combining quantum entanglement with wormholes yields mind boggling results about black holes. But I don't trust them until we have a theory… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Often, when I want to read something that is satisfying to me as theology, what I actually read is string theory, or… — Marilynne Robinson Copy Share Image
Einstein comes along and says, space and time can warp and curve, that's what gravity is. Now string theory comes along and… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“Lecter sits in his armchair with a big pad of butcher paper doing calculations. The pages are filled with the symbols both… — Thomas Harris Copy Share Image
The sole argument generally given to justify this picture of the world is that perturbative string theories have a massless spin two… — Peter Woit Copy Share Image
Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“Branes also opened up a whole new way of thinking about how our three-dimensional world might relate to the extra spatial dimensions… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Superstring theories provide a framework in which the force of gravity may be united with the other three forces in nature: the… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
“String theory promises to take a further step beyond that taken by Einstein's picture of force subsumed within curved space and time… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
General relativity is the cornerstone of cosmology and astrophysics. It has also provided the conceptual basis for string theory and other attempts… — Paul Davies Copy Share Image
“The universe as a giant harpstring, oscillating in and out of existence! What note does it play, by the way? Passages from… — Ursula K. Le Guin Copy Share Image
The most important single thing about string theory is that it's a highly mathematical theory, and the mathematics holds together in a… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
My emotional investment is in finding truth. If string theory is wrong, I'd like to have known that yesterday. But if we… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“According to string theory in quantum mechanics the core of energy and matter on a subatomic level is a vibrating, string-like filament… — Russell Anthony Gibbs Copy Share Image
The beauty of string theory is that it is all about mathematics. For that, you don't need resources or labs. Just sit… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
String theories, for instance, they require seven additional dimensions. So, as experimentalists we should, with our high-tech instruments like the Large Hadron… — Fabiola Gianotti Copy Share Image
For bedtime reading, I usually curl up with a good monograph on quantum physics or string theory, my specialty. But since I… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch… — Roy H. Williams Copy Share Image
So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what's likely to happen at accelerators or… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
“I take out my book, glad to have a few minutes to study the diagram on time travel and string theory. But… — Wendy Mass Copy Share Image
String theory is based on the simple idea that all the four forces of the universe: gravity, the electromagnetic force and the… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
I just think too many nice things have happened in string theory for it to be all wrong. Humans do not understand… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
The beauty of science is to imagine more than we can prove. And string theory gives you a radically different interpretation of… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
The best theory comes from string theory, which states that dark matter is nothing but a higher vibration of the string. We… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
“There is much unexplained in the world. It behoves one to be wary at all times. Just when you think you've got… — Jasper Fforde Copy Share Image
One of the strangest features of string theory is that it requires more than the three spatial dimensions that we see directly… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
String theory is not the only theory that can accommodate extra dimensions, but it certainly is the one that really demands and… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
According to String Theory, what appears to be empty space is actually a tumultuous ocean of strings vibrating at the precise frequencies… — Roy H. Williams Copy Share Image
