More quotes by Brian Greene
Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.
Brian Greene
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.
Brian Greene
Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent.
Brian Greene
Experimental evidence is the final arbiter of right and wrong.
Brian Greene
Quantum Mechanics is different. Its weirdness is evident without comparison. It is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition, because quantum mechanics shatters our own personal, individual conception of reality
Brian Greene
String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space.
Brian Greene
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.
Brian Greene
I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
Brian Greene
In my own research when I'm working with equations, I never feel like I really understand what I'm doing if I'm solely relying on the mathematics for my understanding. I need to have a visual picture in my mind. I'm constantly translating from the math to some intuitive mind's-eye picture.
Brian Greene
Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used with sufficient care, is a proven pathway to truth.
Brian Greene
Writing for the stage is different from writing for a book. You want to write in a way that an actor has material to work with, writing in the first person not the third person, and pulling out the dramatic elements in a bigger way for a stage presentation.
Brian Greene
Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.
Brian Greene
Far from being accidental details, the properties of nature's basic building blocks are deeply entwined with the fabric of space and time.
Brian Greene
When you know the answer you want, it is often all too easy to figure out a way of getting it.
Brian Greene
To tell you the truth, I've never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can it's hard to say.
Brian Greene
Every moment is as real as every other. Every 'now,' when you say, 'This is the real moment,' is as real as every other 'now' - and therefore all the moments are just out there. Just as every location in space is out there, I think every moment in time is out there, too.
Brian Greene
How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
Brian Greene
Many different planets are many different distances from their host star we find ourselves at this distance because if we were closer or farther away, the temperature would be hotter or colder, eliminating liquid water, an essential ingredient for our survival.
Brian Greene
Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.
Brian Greene
I believe that through its rational evaluation of truth and indifference to personal belief, science transcends religious and political divisions and so does bind us into a greater, more resilient whole.
Brian Greene
