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.

Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used with sufficient care, is a proven pathway to truth.

I think it's too fast to say that all sci-fi ultimately winds up having some place in science. On the other hand, imaginative minds working outside of science as storytellers certainly have come upon ideas that, with the passing decades, have either materialized of come close to materializing.

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.

Over the centuries, monumental upheavals in science have emerged time and again from following the leads set out by mathematics.

Far from being accidental details, the properties of nature's basic building blocks are deeply entwined with the fabric of space and time.

Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.

It's hard to teach passionately about something that you don't have a passion for.

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.

The main challenge that television presents is that I have a tendency to say things with a great deal of precision and accuracy. Often a description of that sort, which will work in a book because people can read it slowly - they can turn the pages back and so on - doesn't really work on TV because it interrupts the flow of the moving image.

Falsifiability for a theory is great, but a theory can still be respectable even if it is not falsifiable, as long as it is verifiable.

When kids look up to great scientists the way they do to great musicians and actors, civilization will jump to the next level

The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.

But, as Einstein once said, “For we convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent.”5

The revelation we've come to is that we can trust our memories of a past with lower, not higher, entropy only if the big bang - the process, event, or happening that brought the universe into existence - started off the universe in an extraordinarily special, highly ordered state of low entropy.

Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers.

I believe we owe our young an education that captures the exhilarating drama of science.

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?

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.

The bottom line is that time travel is allowed by the laws of physics.

The beauty of string theory is the metaphor kind of really comes very close to the reality. The strings of string theory are vibrating the particles, vibrating the forces of nature into existence, those vibrations are sort of like musical notes. So string theory, if it's correct, would be playing out the score of the universe.
