Brian Greene Quotes

There may be many Big Bangs that happened at various and far-flung locations, each creating its own swelling, spatial expanse, each creating a universe - our universe being the result of only one of those Big Bangs Picture Quote #1

String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to the stately waltz of orbiting binary stars; from the primordial fireball of the big bang to the majestic swirl of heavenly galaxies - are reflections of one, grand physical principle, one master equation Picture Quote #1

Black holes, we all know, are these regions where if an object falls in, it can’t get out, but the puzzle that many struggled with over the decades is, what happens to the information that an object contains when it falls into a black hole. Is it simply lost? Picture Quote #1

Even when I wasn’t doing much ‘science for the public’ stuff, I found that four or five hours of intense work in physics was all my brain could take on a given day Picture Quote #1

As scientists, we track down all promising leads, and there’s reason to suspect that our universe may be one of many - a single bubble in a huge bubble bath of other universes Picture Quote #1

You almost can’t avoid having some version of the multiverse in your studies if you push deeply enough in the mathematical descriptions of the physical universe Picture Quote #1

My dad was a composer and a musician, but he never finished high school. His formal education was rather minimal from the standards of today’s college graduates and Ph.D.’s, but he had a deep interest in questions of science and questions of the universe Picture Quote #1

I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly - or ever - gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a dark night sky filled with countless stars loses a sense of their fundamental connectedness to the universe Picture Quote #1

There’s no way that scientists can ever rule out religion, or even have anything significant to say about the abstract idea of a divine creator Picture Quote #1

When you know the answer you want, it is often all too easy to figure out a way of getting it Picture Quote #1

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 today or tomorrow, fantastic Picture Quote #1

Nature’s patterns sometimes reflect two intertwined features: fundamental physical laws and environmental influences. It’s nature’s version of nature versus nurture Picture Quote #1

Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you’ve built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink Picture Quote #1

As every parent knows, children begin life as uninhibited, unabashed explorers of the unknown. From the time we can walk and talk, we want to know what things are and how they work - we begin life as little scientists Picture Quote #1

The funny thing is, I sometimes get the impression that some people outside of the field think that there’s some element of security that we have in working on a theory that hasn’t made any predictions that can be proven false. In a sense, we’re working on something unfalsifiable Picture Quote #1

I think the appropriate response for a physicist is: ‘I do not find the concept of God very interesting, because I cannot test it.’ Picture Quote #1

I believe we owe our young an education that captures the exhilarating drama of science Picture Quote #1

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there Picture Quote #1

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding Picture Quote #1

If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of the universe endlessly twist and vibrate, rhythmically beating out the laws of the cosmos Picture Quote #1

Far from being accidental details, the properties of nature’s basic building blocks are deeply entwined with the fabric of space and time Picture Quote #1

All mathematics is is a language that is well tuned, finely honed, to describe patterns; be it patterns in a star, which has five points that are regularly arranged, be it patterns in numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 that follow very regular progression Picture Quote #1

A unified theory would put us at the doorstep of a vast universe of things that we could finally explore with precision Picture Quote #1

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above? Picture Quote #1

If the theory turns out to be right, that will be tremendously thick and tasty icing on the cake Picture Quote #1

No matter how hard you try to teach your cat general relativity, you’re going to fail Picture Quote #1

Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer Picture Quote #1

The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers Picture Quote #1

We can certainly go further than cats, but why should it be that our brains are somehow so suited to the universe that our brains will be able to understand the deepest workings? Picture Quote #1

The real question is whether all your pondering and analyses will convince you that life is worth living. That’s what it all comes down to Picture Quote #1
