If I take the theory as we have it now, literally, I would conclude that extra dimensions really exist. They're part of nature. We… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
The theory has to be interpreted that extra dimensions beyond the ordinary four dimensions the three spatial dimensions plus time are sufficiently small that… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
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… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string should behave… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
Extra dimensional theories are sometimes considered science fiction with equations. I think that's a wrong attitude. I think extra dimensions are with us, they… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
On the other hand, we don't understand the theory too completely, and because of this fuzziness of spacetime, the very concept of spacetime and… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
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… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
One of the weird things about modern physics is that we do find there are apparently these other dimensions that we don't directly experience… — David Grinspoon Copy Share Image
“For string theory to make sense, the universe should have nine spacial dimensions and one time dimension, for a total of ten dimensions.” — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Having those extra dimensions and therefore many ways the string can vibrate in many different directions turns out to be the key to being… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
As far as extra dimensions are concerned, very tiny extra dimensions wouldn't be perceived in everyday life, just as atoms aren't: we see many… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
Ordinary photons do have spin, they have a notion of helicity so they spin around their direction on motion. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
My father himself was a human geneticist who was recognized for demonstrating that older mothers tend to get more Down syndrome children, but he… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
A computational device is incapable of developing a mind. We got consciousness not just by being clever. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
It is hard to see how one could begin to develop a quantum-theoretical description of brain action when one might well have to regard… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
It may well be there is something else going on in the brain that we don't have an inkling of at the moment. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
As for morality, well that's all tied up with the question of consciousness. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
I used to make polyhedra with my father. There were no clear lines between games and toys for children and his professional work. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
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… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
Some people take the view that we happen by accident. I think that there is something much deeper, of which we have very little… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
My older brother is a distinguished theoretical physicist, a fellow of the Royal Society. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
If you didn't have any conscious beings in the world, there really wouldn't be morality but with consciousness that you have it. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
Most marriages don't add two people together. They subtract one from the other. — Ian Fleming Copy Share Image
Friendship, "the wine of life," should, like a well-stocked cellar, be continually renewed; and it is consolatory to think, that although we can seldom… — James Boswell Copy Share Image
Life as we know it is fundamentally unsatisfying. I think most folks feel this to be true. They know that a life of aimless… — Michael Yates Copy Share Image
Give me a platter of choice finnan haddie, freshly cooked in its bath of water and milk, add melted butter, a slice or two… — Craig Claiborne Copy Share Image
A 'modern' man has nothing to add to modernism, if only because he has nothing to oppose it with. The well-adapted drop off the… — Elias Canetti Copy Share Image
Observation and theory get on best when they are mixed together, both helping one another in the pursuit of truth. It is a good… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
I may add that we have more than once stated our willingness to conclude nonaggression pacts with the states neighboring our own! — Adolf Hitler Copy Share Image
The American Constitution declares 'All men are born equal.' The British Socialist Party add: 'All men must be kept equal'. — Winston Churchill Copy Share Image
New generations of humans inherit the acquired discoveries of generations past, allowing cosmic insight to accumulate without limit. Each discovery of science therefore adds… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
Thirty days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit - like watching the news… — Matt Cutts Copy Share Image
In presenting a mathematical argument the great thing is to give the educated reader the chance to catch on at once to the momentary… — John Edensor Littlewood Copy Share Image
