I don't think about a theory of everything when I do my research. And even if we knew the ultimate underlying theory,… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
“String theory promises to take a further step beyond that taken by Einstein's picture of force subsumed within curved space and time… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
One thing that definitely did calculate properly for me was the mathematics that makes sense every day, no matter how I look… — RZA Copy Share Image
The next big accelerator might be the ILC in Japan, a linear collider which might be able to probe the boundaries of… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“Branes also opened up a whole new way of thinking about how our three-dimensional world might relate to the extra spatial dimensions… — Lee Smolin 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 key shortcoming of the multiverse theory, however, is that it appeals to something outside the universe, namely, a vast ensemble of… — Steven J. Dick Copy Share Image
Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
“Particularly in physics, science’s fifty-year drift into the unscientific has recently reached a surreal apogee. String theory is widely considered ‘the only… — Gordon White Copy Share Image
“One night I begged Robin, a scientist by training, to watch Arthur Miller's 'Death of a Salesman' with me on PBS. He… — Mary Rose O'Reilley Copy Share Image
“Got to go sing in a few minutes... no, that's GOT to go sing in a few minutes, as in... GOT TO… — Gloria Smith Copy Share Image

“I had to get back to dealing with facts. One fact was that something bizarre was going on, but I'd be far… — Hilary Duff Copy Share Image
The central idea of string theory is quite straightforward. If you examine any piece of matter ever more finely, at first you'll… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“We can measure the fine structure constant with very great precision, but so far none of our theories has provided an explanation… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
One very important aspect of string theory is definitely testable. That was the prediction of supersymmetry, which emerged from string theory in… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
There was quantum mechanics, string theory, and then there was the most mind-bending frontier of the natural world, women. — Marisha Pessl Copy Share Image
Is the universe 'elegant,' as Brian Greene tells us? Not as far as I can tell, not the usual laws of particle… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
The sole argument generally given to justify this picture of the world is that perturbative string theories have a massless spin two… — Peter Woit Copy Share Image

String theory is 21 st century physics that fell accidentally into the 20th century. — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
Some string theorists prefer to believe that string theory is too arcane to be understood by human beings, rather than consider the… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Very much, string theory is simply a work in progress. What we are inching toward every day are predictions that within the… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“Because string theory is such a high-risk venture—unsupported by experiment, though very generously supported by the academic” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
