In essence, we string theorists have been trying to work out the score of the universe, the harmonies of the universe, the… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
A unified theory would put us at the doorstep of a vast universe of things that we could finally explore with precision. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
The revelation we've come to is that we can trust our memories of a past with lower, not higher, entropy only if… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Science is very good at answering the 'how' questions. 'How did the universe evolve to the form that we see?' But it… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
That is, you can have nothingness, absolute nothingness for maybe a tiny fraction of a second, if a second can be defined… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
When you buy a jacket, you pick the size to ensure it fits. Similarly, we live in a universe in which the… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above? — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
There was a time when 'universe' meant 'all there is.' Everything. The whole shebang. The notion of more than one universe, more… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
As scientists, we track down all promising leads, and there's reason to suspect that our universe may be one of many -… — Brian Greene 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
I was holding [my four-year-old daughter] and I said, 'Sophia, I love you more than anything in the universe.' And she turned… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
My view is that you don't tell the universe what to do. The universe is how it is, and it's our job… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Time allows change to take place and the very evolution of the universe is what requires some conception of time. Mathematically can… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
...things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren't, we wouldn't be here to notice. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
We can certainly go further than cats, but why should it be that our brains are somehow so suited to the universe… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Physics grapples with the largest questions the universe presents. 'Where did the totality of reality come from?' 'Did time have a beginning?' — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
There may have been many big bangs, one of which created our universe. The other bangs created other universes. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
You almost can't avoid having some version of the multiverse in your studies if you push deeply enough in the mathematical descriptions… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
My dad was a composer and a musician, but he never finished high school. His formal education was rather minimal from the… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
One of the wonders of science is that it is completely universal. It crosses national boundaries with total ease. — Brian Greene 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 do believe… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
But, as Einstein once said, “For we convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent.”5 — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
When kids look up to great scientists the way they do to great musicians and actors, civilization will jump to the next level — Brian Greene Copy Share Image

As every parent knows, children begin life as uninhibited, unabashed explorers of the unknown. From the time we can walk and talk, we want… — Brian Greene 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 any details,… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
