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
