My emotional investment is in finding truth. If string theory is wrong, I'd like to have known that yesterday. But if we can show it… — Brian Greene
String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced… — Brian Greene
String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to… — 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 the… — Brian Greene
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, atoms,… — Brian Greene
Even before string theory, especially as physics developed in the 20th century, it turned out that the equations that really work in describing nature with… — Edward Witten
One very important aspect of string theory is definitely testable. That was the prediction of supersymmetry, which emerged from string theory in the early '70s. — Edward Witten
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because a point particle… — Edward Witten
I'm the Ted Bundy of string theory. — Sam Harris
In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn't… — Neil Strauss
I spent most of my career doing high-energy physics, quarks, dark matter, string theory and so on. — Geoffrey West
One of the strangest features of string theory is that it requires more than the three spatial dimensions that we see directly in the world… — Brian Greene
String theory is not the only theory that can accommodate extra dimensions, but it certainly is the one that really demands and requires it. — Brian Greene
I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics. — Brian Greene
Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory. — Alan Guth
Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark… — Michio Kaku
In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't know if either… — Roger Penrose
Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn't like them too much, but they've got a big benefit, which is that the ability… — Edward Witten
