Brian Greene Quotes

You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high entropy state Picture Quote #1

... things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren’t, we wouldn’t be here to notice Picture Quote #1

Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used with sufficient care, is a proven pathway to truth Picture Quote #1

Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future Picture Quote #1

We are living through a remarkably privileged era, when certain deep truths about the cosmos are still within reach of the human spirit of exploration Picture Quote #1

My best teachers were not the ones who knew all the answers, but those who were deeply excited by questions they couldn’t answer Picture Quote #1

Black holes provide theoreticians with an important theoretical laboratory to test ideas. Conditions within a black hole are so extreme, that by analyzing aspects of black holes we see space and time in an exotic environment, one that has shed important, and sometimes perplexing, new light on their fundamental nature Picture Quote #1

In any finite region of space, matter can only arrange itself in a finite number of configurations, just as a deck of cards can be arranged in only finitely many different orders. If you shuffle the deck infinitely many times, the card orderings must necessarily repeat Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you’ve built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink Picture Quote #1

String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe the universe is consistent, and therefore I do believe that general relativity and quantum mechanics should be put together in a manner that makes sense Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
