The star S0-2 orbits around Sgr A* every 16 years and will go through its closest approach in 2018. That's an opportunity… — Andrea M. Ghez Copy Share Image
“Although in the external reality of general relativity, you’re an extended braidlike pattern in a static four-dimensional spacetime,” — Max Tegmark 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
Gravitational waves will bring us exquisitely accurate maps of black holes - maps of their space-time. Those maps will make it crystal… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
So what I'm saying is why don't we think about changing Schrodinger's equation at some level when masses become too big at… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
Asked in 1919 whether it was true that only three people in the world understood the theory of general relativity, [Eddington] allegedly… — Anonymous 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
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
“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
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
“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
“Accelerating to speeds faster than light was, of course, impossible. General relativity had made that clear enough back in the twentieth century.… — Charles Stross 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
“The subject of this chapter is string theory, and I begin it with these reflections for two reasons. First, because the main… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“The deep significance of this discovery appears to be that we have found a physical situation where two different natural principles, of… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
“The Five Great Problems in Theoretical Physics: Problem 1: Combine general relativity and quantum theory into a single theory that can claim… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Banishing zero also solves the infinity problems in general relativity. If you imagine a black hole as a string, no longer do… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
“As mathematicians were uncovering the connection between zero and infinity, physicists began to encounter zeros in the natural world; zero crossed over… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
“In the early universe—when the universe was small enough to be governed by both general relativity and quantum theory—there were effectively four… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“Removing zero from the universe might seem like a drastic step, but strings are much more tractable than dots; by eliminating zero,… — Charles Seife 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
“Not so. You have been doing that quite frequently now. Rest easy. Later the whole of quantum mechanics will be placed in… — Kim Stanley Robinson Copy Share Image

“Instead, this time he made what he called a “slight modification” to his theory. To keep the matter in the universe from… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
“We know that the uncertainty relation implies not only the absence of empty space but also the nature of the minimal content… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“We have good reason to believe that space and time begin to merge into quantum mechanical uncertainty at distances this small; they… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“Does general relativity predict that our universe should have had a big bang, a beginning of time?” — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Relativity propped it up, at least gave it the illusion of being there…the way all reality becomes illusory and observer-oriented when you… — Joe Haldeman Copy Share Image
