Quote by Brian Greene

You have that one basic string, but it can vibrate in many ways. But we're trying to get a lot of particles because experimental…

“According to string theory in quantum mechanics the core of energy and matter on a subatomic level is a vibrating, string-like filament that is…

— Russell Anthony Gibbs

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…

“The ordinary photon is a member of the boson family.”

— Neil deGrasse Tyson

Just like an ordinary guitar string, a fundamental string can vibrate in different modes. And it is these different modes of vibration of the…

String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as…

— Edward Witten

The central idea of string theory is quite straightforward. If you examine any piece of matter ever more finely, at first you'll find molecules,…

“Strings possess one defining property which is their tension. This quantity plays a crucial role in the overall picture of how strings can be…

— John D. Barrow

Having those extra dimensions and therefore many ways the string can vibrate in many different directions turns out to be the key to being…

— Edward Witten

String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a…

— Roy H. Williams

I work in string theory. This is a branch of physics which assumes that the elementary objects in the universe are not particles but…

— Ashoke Sen

In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we…
