I wouldn't say that 'The Fabric of the Cosmos' is a book on cosmology. Cosmology certainly plays a big part, but the… — Brian Greene 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
Far from being accidental details, the properties of nature's basic building blocks are deeply entwined with the fabric of space and time. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
The melded nature of space and time is intimately woven with properties of light speed. The inviolable nature of the speed of… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Black holes provide theoreticians with an important theoretical laboratory to test ideas. Conditions within a black hole are so extreme, that by… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers. — Brian Greene Copy Share
The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge. — Brian Greene Copy Share
One of the wonders of science is that it is completely universal. It crosses national boundaries with total ease. — Brian Greene Copy Share
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe… — Brian Greene Copy Share
But, as Einstein once said, “For we convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent.”5 — Brian Greene Copy Share
Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer. — Brian Greene Copy Share
When kids look up to great scientists the way they do to great musicians and actors, civilization will jump to the next level — Brian Greene Copy Share
I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly - or ever - gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a… — Brian Greene Copy Share
There are many of us thinking of one version of parallel universe theory or another. If it's all a lot of nonsense, then it's… — Brian Greene Copy Share
As every parent knows, children begin life as uninhibited, unabashed explorers of the unknown. From the time we can walk and talk, we want… — Brian Greene Copy Share
The full name of string theory is really superstring theory. The 'super' stands for this feature called supersymmetry, which, without getting into any details,… — Brian Greene Copy Share
For most people, the major hurdle in grasping modern insights into the nature of the universe is that these developments are usually phrased using… — Brian Greene Copy Share
Writing for the stage is different from writing for a book. You want to write in a way that an actor has material to… — Brian Greene Copy Share
We know that if supersymmetric particles exist, they must be very heavy; otherwise we would have spotted them by now. — Brian Greene Copy Share
The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality. The strings of string theory are vibrating… — Brian Greene Copy Share
