“Finiteness is not the only example in string theory of a conjecture that is widely believed but so far unproved.” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
String theory is 21 st century physics that fell accidentally into the 20th century. — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory. — Alan Guth 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
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
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
“At that moment it would have been easier for me to spontaneously grasp quantum string theory” — Augusten Burroughs Copy Share Image
String theory is not the only theory that can accommodate extra dimensions, but it certainly is the one that really demands and… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
According to String Theory, what appears to be empty space is actually a tumultuous ocean of strings vibrating at the precise frequencies… — Roy H. Williams Copy Share Image
“There is much unexplained in the world. It behoves one to be wary at all times. Just when you think you've got… — Jasper Fforde Copy Share Image
One of the strangest features of string theory is that it requires more than the three spatial dimensions that we see directly… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
I like to think that Einstein would look at string theory’s journey and smile, enjoying the theory’s remarkable geometrical features while feeling… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
One of the main successes of string theory is that it has been able to unify the general theory of relativity, which… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
String theory is based on the simple idea that all the four forces of the universe: gravity, the electromagnetic force and the… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
I just think too many nice things have happened in string theory for it to be all wrong. Humans do not understand… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
“Theoretical physicists are Platonists. Until the last few years, they believed that the entire universe, the one universe, was generated from a… — Alan Lightman Copy Share Image
String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Modern thinking is that time did not start with the big bang, and that there was a multiverse even before the big… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you… — Neil Strauss Copy Share Image
In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the… — Michio Kaku 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
I'm a fan of the simulation theory. I tend to think that most of our existence, if not all of it, is… — Zoltan Istvan 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
Superstring theories provide a framework in which the force of gravity may be united with the other three forces in nature: the… — Edward Witten 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
“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
“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
“Every culture has its own creation myth, its own cosmology. And in some respects every cosmology is true, even if I might… — Dennis J. McKenna Copy Share Image
“Extending Polyakov's argument, he found evidence that the string theory describing those emergent strings is actually a ten-dimensional supersymmetric string theory. Of… — 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
“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
“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
When I was in high school, I was really into string theory and superstring theory and read 'Scientific American.' It's fascinating. — Sam Trammell 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
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
My work on symmetries of string theory is on what is known as strong-weak coupling duality, or S-duality. — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
