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
In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play… — Michio Kaku
Some string theorists prefer to believe that string theory is too arcane to be understood by human beings, rather than consider the possibility that it… — Lee Smolin
String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a… — Edward Witten
According to String Theory, what appears to be empty space is actually a tumultuous ocean of strings vibrating at the precise frequencies that create the… — Roy H. Williams
Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well. — Roy H. Williams
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
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… — Lee Smolin
There was quantum mechanics, string theory, and then there was the most mind-bending frontier of the natural world, women. — Marisha Pessl
So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what's likely to happen at accelerators or some parts of… — Edward Witten
As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string should behave and… — Roger Penrose
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, gravity,… — Brian Greene
I like to think that Einstein would look at string theoryâ€™s journey and smile, enjoying the theoryâ€™s remarkable geometrical features while feeling kinship with fellow… — Brian Greene
String theory is based on the simple idea that all the four forces of the universe: gravity, the electromagnetic force and the two nuclear forces,… — Michio Kaku
String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a string's… — Roy H. Williams
General relativity is the cornerstone of cosmology and astrophysics. It has also provided the conceptual basis for string theory and other attempts to unify all… — Paul Davies
My belief is based on the fact that string theory is the first science in hundreds of years to be pursued in pre-Baconian fashion, without… — Philip Warren Anderson
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
I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life. — Brian Greene
I can assure you that no string theorist would be interested in working on string theory if it were somehow permanently beyond testability. That would… — Brian Greene
