Doe Quote by Edward Witten

Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

— Edward Witten

“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

In many ways, string theory attempts to go beyond Einstein's dream... an all-encompassing description of nature that works at large distances where gravity becomes…

— Ashoke Sen

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 beauty of science is to imagine more than we can prove. And string theory gives you a radically different interpretation of the universe.

— Ashoke Sen

The most important single thing about string theory is that it's a highly mathematical theory, and the mathematics holds together in a very tight…

— Leonard Susskind

It's indeed surprising that replacing the elementary particle with a string leads to such a big change in things. I'm tempted to say that…

“Because string theory is such a high-risk venture—unsupported by experiment,”

— Lee Smolin

“In string theory, the situation is very different. The law of motion dictates the laws of the forces. This is because all forces in…

— Lee Smolin

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

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,…

— Brian Greene

“Because string theory is such a high-risk venture—unsupported by experiment, though very generously supported by the academic”

— Lee Smolin
