String Theory Quotes by Brian Greene
- 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,…
- I like to think that Einstein would look at string theory’s journey and smile, enjoying the theory’s remarkable geometrical features while feeling kinship with fellow…
- I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
- 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…
- 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…
- 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…
- String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to…
- 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…
- 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,…
- 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…
- String theory is not the only theory that can accommodate extra dimensions, but it certainly is the one that really demands and requires it.
- I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.
