“Because string theory is such a high-risk venture—unsupported by experiment, though very generously supported by the academic” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
One problem of the String Theory is that it's kind of a theory which can explain what the problems are, but the problems are… — Peter Woit Copy Share Image
I can assure you that no string theorist would be interested in working on string theory if it were somehow permanently beyond testability. That… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
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,… — Philip Warren Anderson Copy Share Image
“At that moment it would have been easier for me to spontaneously grasp quantum string theory” — Augusten Burroughs Copy Share Image
Some string theorists prefer to believe that string theory is too arcane to be understood by human beings, rather than consider the possibility that… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
Very much, string theory is simply a work in progress. What we are inching toward every day are predictions that within the realm of… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“On the other hand, if string theorists are wrong, they can't be just a little wrong. If the new dimensions and symmetries do not… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“This unification of forces and motion has a simple consequence. In a particle theory, you can freely add all kinds of forces, so there… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“One field Faraday studied was the electric field. This is not a number but a vector, which we may visualize as an arrow and… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“It is interesting to note that the quantum-mechanical revolution was made by a virtually orphaned generation of scientists. Many members of the generation above… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“In fact, the particle-antiparticle annihilation and the closing of the string is necessary, if the theory is to be consistent with relativity, meaning the… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the speed of… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Unfortunately, no one has ever successfully postulated a super-symmetry holding between two known particles. Instead, in all the supersymmetric theories the numbers of particles… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Those who do good science do so because they choose problems that are suited to them. — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Here's a simplified version of what the Stanford group did. They started with a much-studied kind of string theory-a flat four-dimensional spacetime with a… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“The current crisis in particle physics springs from the fact that the theories have gone beyond the standard model in the last thirty years… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“By the time I began my study of physics in the early 1970s, the idea of unifying gravity with the other forces was as… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“These two discoveries, of relativity and of the quantum, each required us to break definitively with Newtonian physics. However, in spite of great progress… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“So the challenge for any quantum theory of gravity is to give us a deeper understanding of Bekenstein's entropy and Hawking's temperature.” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Throughout my work, I have assumed that the standard model is correct, and hence, the Higgs boson should be found. Although this is not… — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
“This unification of forces and motion has a simple consequence. In a particle theory, you can freely add all kinds of forces, so there… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
The best theory comes from string theory, which states that dark matter is nothing but a higher vibration of the string. We are, in… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
We do not know how to formulate string theory nor do we know its underlying principles. Surprisingly, this fact does not stop us from… — Nathan Seiberg Copy Share Image
In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. — Neil Strauss Copy Share Image
The Big Bang has gone away, but as far as Super String, that is suspicious for me. It all starts out with the notion… — Edgar Mitchell Copy Share Image
I spent most of my career doing high-energy physics, quarks, dark matter, string theory and so on. — Geoffrey West Copy Share Image
The idea that excites me the most concerns the two greatest puzzles in science: the origin of the universe, and the origin of consciousness.… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
I've been reading about the idea of cyclical lives - it matches up to the idea of string theory and a multiverse. So I… — Sturgill Simpson Copy Share Image
The full name of string theory is really superstring theory. The 'super' stands for this feature called supersymmetry, which, without getting into any details,… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
