General Quote by Ashoke Sen

Einstein comes along and says, space and time can warp and curve, that's what gravity is. Now string theory comes along and says, yes,…

— Brian Greene

I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.

— Brian Greene

In many ways, string theory attempts to go beyond Einstein's dream... an all-encompassing description of nature that works at large distances where gravity becomes…

Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because a point…

— Edward Witten

General relativity is in the old Newtonian framework where you predict what will happen, not the probability of what will happen. And putting together…

— Brian Greene

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

The most important single thing about string theory is that it's a highly mathematical theory, and the mathematics holds together in a very tight…

— Leonard Susskind

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…

“In string theory, zero has been banished from the universe; there is no such thing as zero distance or zero time. This solves all…

— Charles Seife

“Removing zero from the universe might seem like a drastic step, but strings are much more tractable than dots; by eliminating zero, string theory…

— Charles Seife

“The key shortcoming of the multiverse theory, however, is that it appeals to something outside the universe, namely, a vast ensemble of other universes…

There was quantum mechanics, string theory, and then there was the most mind-bending frontier of the natural world, women.
