If laws are just properties of objects, how can those laws continue to operate when the object is not really there? — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
If one just tried to invent a universe on one's own, it would probably end up being a much less colorful and interesting universe… — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
Space is certainly something more complicated than the average person would probably realize. Space is not just an empty background in which things happen. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
I am not aware of any sensible theory of how classical gravity could interact with quantum matter, and I can't imagine how such a… — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
My parents were not at all involved in science. In fact, neither of them went to college. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
The idea of combining the physics of modern particle theory with cosmology was very young when I started working on cosmology. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
It is rather fantastic to realize that the laws of physics can describe how everything was created in a random quantum fluctuation out of… — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
When one studies the properties of atoms, one found that the reality is far stranger than anybody would have invented in the form of… — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
If you bang two electrons together with enough energy, you produce protons. If there are no independent laws, then all the properties of protons… — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
The Big Bang theory says nothing about what banged, why it banged, or what happened before it banged. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
The recent developments in cosmology strongly suggest that the universe may be the ultimate free lunch. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
