...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Before the discovery of quantum mechanics, the framework of physics was this: If you tell me how things are now, I can… — 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
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
According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large… — Brian Greene 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
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
Quantum Mechanics is different. Its weirdness is evident without comparison. It is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition,… — 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
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
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 Image
One of the wonders of science is that it is completely universal. It crosses national boundaries with total ease. — Brian Greene 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 do believe… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
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 Image
Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
