I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. — Neil Strauss Copy Share Image
There are a lot of good things about string theory, and it's great that some people want to work on it. — Antony Garrett Lisi Copy Share Image
“So one might say that music killed him, that he was felled by music. It's a theory. String theory.” — Emma Richler Copy Share Image
I spent most of my career doing high-energy physics, quarks, dark matter, string theory and so on. — Geoffrey West Copy Share Image
I came to realise that string theory offers us the best hope of finding a unified theory of all matter and forces. — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
“For string theory to make sense, the universe should have nine spacial dimensions and one time dimension, for a total of ten… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn't like them too much, but they've got a big benefit, which is… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
I work in string theory. This is a branch of physics which assumes that the elementary objects in the universe are not… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
“In string theory, zero has been banished from the universe; there is no such thing as zero distance or zero time. This… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
We do not know how to formulate string theory nor do we know its underlying principles. Surprisingly, this fact does not stop… — Nathan Seiberg Copy Share Image
Your humble correspondent realizes that many readers are left-wing, anti-string-theory fighters. So they probably smoke marijuana and this is my modest attempt… — Lubos Motl Copy Share Image
I've been reading about the idea of cyclical lives - it matches up to the idea of string theory and a multiverse.… — Sturgill Simpson Copy Share Image
In many ways, string theory attempts to go beyond Einstein's dream... an all-encompassing description of nature that works at large distances where… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
Throughout my work, I have assumed that the standard model is correct, and hence, the Higgs boson should be found. Although this… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
String theory?[pause] It closed the conceptual gulp between relativity and quantum mechanics. It postulates that subatomic particles are not points, but strings,… — Willie Garson 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… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
To the extent that we even understand string theory, it may imply a massive number of possible different universes with different laws… — Lawrence M. Krauss 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
The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality. The strings of string theory… — Brian Greene 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
Often, when I want to read something that is satisfying to me as theology, what I actually read is string theory, or… — Marilynne Robinson Copy Share Image
Once again, my colleague Stephen Hawking has upset the apple cart. The event horizon surrounding a black hole was once though to… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“Here's a simplified version of what the Stanford group did. They started with a much-studied kind of string theory-a flat four-dimensional spacetime… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“(The string is extremely tiny, at the Planck length of 10 ^-33 cm, a billion billion times smaller than a proton, so… — Michio Kaku 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
“Noncommutative geometry has turned up in several approaches to quantum gravity, including string theory, DSR, and loop quantum gravity. But none of… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Louis and I worked on two projects. In the first we tried to formulate a gravitational theory based on the dynamics of… — Lee Smolin 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
“This unification of forces and motion has a simple consequence. In a particle theory, you can freely add all kinds of forces,… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Both loop quantum gravity and string theory assert that there is an atomic structure to space. In the next two chapters we… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
When we understand string theory, we will know how the universe began. It won't have much effect on how we live, but… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
There is much unexplained in the world. It behooves us to be wary at all times. Just when you think you've got… — Jasper Fforde Copy Share Image
“Basically, string theory is the development of this visionary idea in a context of a fixed background of space and time. Loop… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Even before string theory, especially as physics developed in the 20th century, it turned out that the equations that really work in… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch… — Roy H. Williams Copy Share Image
![“String theory?[pause] It closed the conceptual gulp between relativity and quantum mechanics. It postulates that subatomic particles are not points, but strings, about one planck length long. The rate at which strings vibrate can generate the properties of all known particles. Huh? How did I know…” quote by Willie Garson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5ac/willie-garson-55883_known_string-theory-pause-it-closed-the-concep_653676.jpg)
