The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality. The strings of string theory are vibrating the particles, vibrating the forces of nature into existence, those vibrations are sort of like musical… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
In essence, we string theorists have been trying to work out the score of the universe, the harmonies of the universe, the mathematical vibrations that the strings would play. So musical metaphors have been with us in science since 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
