More quotes by Brian Greene
Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human.
Brian Greene
Oftentimes, if you're talking to a seasoned interviewer who asks you a question, they may do a follow-up if they didn't quite get it. It's rare that they'll do a third or fourth or fifth or sixth follow-up, because there's an implicit, agreed-upon decorum that they move on. Kids don't necessarily move on if they don't get it.
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
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
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
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
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
It's hard to teach passionately about something that you don't have a passion for.
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
You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state.
Brian Greene
The bottom line is that time travel is allowed by the laws of physics.
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
Before the discovery of quantum mechanics, the framework of physics was this: If you tell me how things are now, I can then use the laws of physics to calculate, and hence predict, how things will be later.
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
Experimental evidence is the final arbiter of right and wrong.
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
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
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
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
When kids look up to great scientists the way they do to great musicians and actors, civilization will jump to the next level
