More quotes by 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
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 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.

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
Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.
Brian Greene
Experimental evidence is the final arbiter of right and wrong.

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
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
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
The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.
Brian Greene
Gravity is matter’s sugar daddy.
Brian Greene
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.
Brian Greene
If the theory turns out to be right, that will be tremendously thick and tasty icing on the cake.
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
Cosmology is among the oldest subjects to captivate our species. And it’s no wonder. We’re storytellers, and what could be more grand than the story of creation?
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
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.
Brian Greene
It's hard to teach passionately about something that you don't have a passion for.
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
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.
