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.

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

The pinpoints of starlight we see with the naked eye are photons that have been streaming toward us for a few years or a few thousand.
Brian Greene
Image
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
Image
Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent.
Brian Greene
Image
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.

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

Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.
Brian Greene
Image
Sometimes nature guards her secrets with the unbreakable grip of physical law. Sometimes the true nature of reality beckons from just beyond the horizon.

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

Experimental evidence is the final arbiter of right and wrong.
Brian Greene
Image
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
Image
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

The fact that I don't have any particular need for religion doesn't mean that I have a need to cast religion aside the way some of my colleagues do.
Brian Greene
Image
According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large across the sky. To me, this realization is one of the greatest wonders of the modern scientific age.

Image
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.

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
Brian Greene
Image
In essence, we string theorists have been trying to work out the score of the universe, the harmonies of the universe, the mathematical vibrations that the strings would play. So musical metaphors have been with us in science since the beginning.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that's been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.
