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.

Falsifiability for a theory is great, but a theory can still be respectable even if it is not falsifiable, as long as it is verifiable. Brian Greene Read Quote
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 Read Quote
There’s a picture of my dorm room in the college yearbook as the most messy, most disgusting room on the Harvard campus, where I was an undergraduate. Brian Greene Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there. Brian Greene Read Quote
I’ve seen children’s eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang. Brian Greene Read Quote
In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter. Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos. Brian Greene Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I would say in one sentence my goal is to at least be part of the journey to find the unified theory that Einstein himself was really the first to look for. He didn’t find it, but we think we’re hot on the trail. Brian Greene Read Quote
