To the extent that we even understand string theory, it may imply a massive number of possible different universes with different laws of physics in each universe, and there may be no way of distinguishing between them or saying why the laws of physics are the way they are. And if I can predict anything, then I haven’t explained anything. (String Theory Quotes)
I just think too many nice things have happened in string theory for it to be all wrong. Humans do not understand it very well, but I just don’t believe there is a big cosmic conspiracy that created this incredible thing that has nothing to do with the real world (String Theory Quotes)
Your humble correspondent realizes that many readers are left-wing, anti-string-theory fighters. So they probably smoke marijuana and this is my modest attempt to help them (String Theory Quotes)
When I was in high school, I was really into string theory and superstring theory and read ‘Scientific American.’ It’s fascinating (String Theory Quotes)
What I do for living, working on something called string theory which we think may answer the fundamental question: Are there other universes? Can you go through a black hole? Can you warp the fabric of space and time and meet your mother before you were born? These are all questions that in principle string theory should be able to answer (String Theory Quotes)
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, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism - all together in one package, but only if the universe has more dimensions than the ones that we see (String Theory Quotes)
One very important aspect of string theory is definitely testable. That was the prediction of supersymmetry, which emerged from string theory in the early 70s (String Theory Quotes)
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, sub-atomic particles. Probe the smaller particles, you’ll find something else, a tiny vibrating filament of energy, a little tiny vibrating string (String Theory Quotes)
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 no longer be doing science (String Theory Quotes)
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 ability of string theory to describe all the elementary particles and their forces along with gravity depends on using the extra dimensions (String Theory Quotes)
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because a point particle is replaced by a string, which is more spread out (String Theory Quotes)
String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a string’s vibration determines the nature of its effect (String Theory Quotes)
In essence, string theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God’s creation... As music (String Theory Quotes)
At that moment it would have been easier for me to spontaneously grasp quantum string theory (String Theory Quotes)
String theory is 21 st century physics that fell accidentally into the 20th century (String Theory Quotes)
I’d say many features of string theory don’t mesh with what we observe in everyday life (String Theory Quotes)
There are a lot of good things about string theory, and it’s great that some people want to work on it (String Theory Quotes)
There is much unexplained in the world. It behoves one to be wary at all times. Just when you think you've got the hang of it, along comes string theory, collateralised debt obligations or Björk's new album, and bam! You're as confused as you were when you first started (String Theory Quotes)
String theory is based on the simple idea that all the four forces of the universe: gravity, the electromagnetic force and the two nuclear forces, can be viewed, as music (String Theory Quotes)
Even before string theory, especially as physics developed in the 20th century, it turned out that the equations that really work in describing nature with the most generality and the greatest simplicity are very elegant and subtle (String Theory Quotes)
As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string should behave and so on (String Theory Quotes)
So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what’s likely to happen at accelerators or some parts of the theory that are likely to be tested (String Theory Quotes)
String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string (String Theory Quotes)
Some string theorists prefer to believe that string theory is too arcane to be understood by human beings, rather than consider the possibility that it might just be wrong (String Theory Quotes)
Just like an ordinary guitar string, a fundamental string can vibrate in different modes. And it is these different modes of vibration of the string that are understood in string theory as being the different elementary particles (String Theory Quotes)
General relativity is the cornerstone of cosmology and astrophysics. It has also provided the conceptual basis for string theory and other attempts to unify all the forces of nature in terms of geometrical structures (String Theory Quotes)
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 (String Theory Quotes)
We do not know how to formulate string theory nor do we know its underlying principles. Surprisingly, this fact does not stop us from making progress (String Theory Quotes)
Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well (String Theory Quotes)
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 either one of them is the right approach to nature (String Theory Quotes)
