In the context of general relativity, space almost is a substance. It can bend and twist and stretch, and probably the best… — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
By the time 1967 had rolled around, general relativity had been relegated to mathematics departments... in most people's minds, it bore no… — Rainer Weiss 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
The media thinks that only the cutting edge of science, the very latest controversies, are worth reporting on. How often do you… — Eliezer Yudkowsky Copy Share Image
However we select from nature a complex [of phenomena] using the criterion of simplicity, in no case will its theoretical treatment turn… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“I thought of Einstein, and his insistence that no particular point of view was more privileged than any other: in other words… — Robert Charles Wilson Copy Share Image
“Again Einstein comes to the rescue with a loophole, this time from his general relativity theory, which says that gravity is caused… — Max Tegmark Copy Share Image
“It was a grand triumph but not one easily understood. The skeptical Silverstein came up to Eddington and said that people believed… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
“Besides the argument based on the unity of nature, there are problems specific to each theory that call for unification with the… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“In its final form, the general theory of relativity was just a reinterpretation of the existing mathematics of curved spaces in terms… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
I have an abiding interest in how ordinary people produce knowledge, and what it means for individuals to know the world. I… — Margaret Wertheim Copy Share Image
“All knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it.” But he immediately proceeded to emphasize the role that “pure reason”… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
I became interested in this question of whether you can build wormholes for interstellar travel. I realized that if you had a… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
General relativity predicts that time ends inside black holes because the gravitational collapse squeezes matter to infinite density. — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“It’s sometimes said that the greatest remaining scientific questions are: What caused the Big Bang? What is the grand unified theory that… — Rick Hanson Copy Share Image
Science is not just for an elite few. Science's vision of the universe is becoming increasingly inaccessible. That doesn't mean it's wrong.… — Margaret Wertheim Copy Share Image
I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity. — Antony Garrett Lisi Copy Share Image
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
Always remember that moving on is not like math that comes with a formula. It is more like the theory of general… — Anonymous 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 real reason why general relativity is widely accepted is because it made predictions that were borne out by experimental observations. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you're using general relativity and quantum… — Frank Tipler Copy Share Image
“The skeptical Silberstein came up to Eddington and said that people believed that only three scientists in the world understood general relativity.… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
Human rights are an aspect of natural law, a consequence of the way the universe works, as solid and as real as… — L. Neil Smith Copy Share Image
Einstein had two new predictions from general relativity. One was that light would bend. That was tested in 1919, and basically, he… — Barry Barish Copy Share Image
Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
“So why do it?,’ he challenged. ‘Why return to biological when a quantum existence can empower you to overcome general relativity and… — Trevor Barton Copy Share Image
“Although in the external reality of general relativity, you’re an extended braidlike pattern in a static four-dimensional spacetime, you nonetheless perceive yourself… — Max Tegmark Copy Share Image
“The infinite zero of a black hole-mass crammed into zero space, curving space infinitely-punches a hole in the smooth rubber sheet. The… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are both accepted as scientific fact even though they're mutually exclusive. Albert Einstein spent the second half… — Roy H. Williams Copy Share Image
“The unsolved problems of the physical world now seem even more formidable than those solved in the twentieth century. Though in application… — Gerald Holton Copy Share Image
