If string theory is a mistake, it's not a trivial mistake. It's a deep mistake and therefore kind of worthy. — Lee Smolin 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
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
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
I spent most of my career doing high-energy physics, quarks, dark matter, string theory and so on. — Geoffrey West Copy Share Image
“Because string theory is such a high-risk venture—unsupported by experiment,” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
I believe conspiracy theories are part of a larger conspiracy to distract us from the real conspiracy. String theory. — Andy Kindler 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
“I’m sorry, I meant to say, ‘This is Alexandra, who has agreed to fill my evening with witty banter and interesting observations… — Rachel Grant 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
If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of… — Brian Greene 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
Just like an ordinary guitar string, a fundamental string can vibrate in different modes. And it is these different modes of vibration… — 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
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
“I think string theory provides an explanation.” “Some think that it is only when two strings encounter each other and some qualities… — Liu Cixin 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
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's… — 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
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
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
“The loop approach to quantum gravity is now a thriving field of research. Many of the older ideas, such as supergravity and… — 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
“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 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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“Topology is that branch of mathematics which is interested in the forms of things aside from their size and shape, Two things… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
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 essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God's creation as music. — Roy H. Williams 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
Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
String theory is 21 st century physics that fell accidentally into the 20th century. — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
