Only six men in the world know about relativity. I am not one of them. When I ask them to explain, they confused me. — Albert Einstein
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 planck… — Willie Garson
It is almost impossible to have a baseless snobbish opinion of the General Theory of Relativity. — Michael Moorcock
