Science is a self-correcting discipline that can, in subsequent generations, show that previous ideas were not correct. Brian Greene Read Quote
I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics. Brian Greene Read Quote
By dimension, we simply mean an independent direction in which, in principle, you can move; in which motion can take place. In an everyday world, we have left-right as one dimension; we have back-forth as a second one; and we have up-down as a third. Brian Greene Read Quote
The absolute worst thing that you ever can do, in my opinion, in bringing science to the general public, is be condescending or judgmental. It is so opposite to the way science needs to be brought forth. Brian Greene Read Quote
For me it’s been very exciting to contribute to the public’s understanding of how rich and wondrous science is. Brian Greene Read Quote
When we benefit from CT scanners, M.R.I. devices, pacemakers and arterial stents, we can immediately appreciate how science affects the quality of our lives. Brian Greene Read Quote
Even when I wasn’t doing much ‘science for the public’ stuff, I found that four or five hours of intense work in physics was all my brain could take on a given day. Brian Greene Read Quote
I wouldn’t say that ‘The Fabric of the Cosmos’ is a book on cosmology. Cosmology certainly plays a big part, but the major theme is our ever-evolving understanding of space and time, and what it all means for our sense of reality. Brian Greene Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I like ‘The Simpsons’ quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It’s great. Brian Greene Read Quote
