I've seen children's eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
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
The revelation we've come to is that we can trust our memories of a past with lower, not higher, entropy only if… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
There may be many Big Bangs that happened at various and far-flung locations, each creating its own swelling, spatial expanse, each creating… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
But if you think about a practical implication of enriching your life and giving you a sense of being part of a… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
General relativity is in the old Newtonian framework where you predict what will happen, not the probability of what will happen. And… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
That is, you can have nothingness, absolute nothingness for maybe a tiny fraction of a second, if a second can be defined… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue… — 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
