How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
Brian Greene
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?
Brian Greene
When kids look up to great scientists the way they do to great musicians and actors, civilization will jump to the next level
Brian Greene
The bottom line is that time travel is allowed by the laws of physics.
Brian Greene
I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life.
Brian Greene
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.
Brian Greene
I've had various experiences where I've been called by Hollywood studios to look at a script or comment on various scientific ideas that they're trying to inject into a story.
Brian Greene
I think the relationship between memory and time is a very deep and tricky one, to tell you the truth. I don't consider memory another sense. I do consider memory that which allows us to think that time flows.
Brian Greene
Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the spectrum - for small things.
Brian Greene
I believe the process of going from confusion to understanding is a precious, even emotional, experience that can be the foundation of self-confidence.
Brian Greene
Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used with sufficient care, is a proven pathway to truth.
Brian Greene
There are many of us thinking of one version of parallel universe theory or another. If it's all a lot of nonsense, then it's a lot of wasted effort going into this far-out idea. But if this idea is correct, it is a fantastic upheaval in our understanding.
Brian Greene
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.
Brian Greene
The number of e-mails and letters that I get from choreographers, from sculptors, from composers who are being inspired by science is huge.
Brian Greene
My best teachers were not the ones who knew all the answers, but those who were deeply excited by questions they couldn't answer.
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
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
Brian Greene
If the theory turns out to be right, that will be tremendously thick and tasty icing on the cake.
Brian Greene
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.
Brian Greene
Intelligence is the ability to take in information from the world and to find patterns in that information that allow you to organize your perceptions and understand the external world.
