The tantalizing discomfort of perplexity is what inspires otherwise ordinary men and women to extraordinary feats of ingenuity and creativity; nothing quite focuses the mind like dissonant details awaiting harmonious resolution. Brian Greene

String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to the stately waltz of orbiting binary stars; from the primordial fireball of the big bang to the majestic swirl of heavenly galaxies - are reflections of one, grand physical principle, one master equation. Brian Greene
Binary Dance Master Big Stars Universe Stately String String Theory Frantic Physical Potential Majestic Primordial Principle Big Bang Equation Reflections Bang Waltz Wondrous Heavenly Happenings Grand Galaxies Show Theory
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
Black Lost Out Black Hole Black Holes Object Struggled Simply Puzzle Contains Over Know Falls Decades Get Where Happens Information Hole Holes Regions Many
String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space. Brian Greene
Space Big Universe Extra Other Slice Our String String Theory Dimension Ours Would Would-Be Some Cosmic Bread Which Theory Displaced Loaf
When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline's mass into energy, in accord with Einstein's formula. Brian Greene
Work You Car Drive Energy Some Mass Does Motion Accord Form Einstein Burns Formula Converting Produce Your Engine Gasoline
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
Science Quality Benefit Our Our Lives Immediately Devices How Affects Lives Appreciate
As every parent knows, children begin life as uninhibited, unabashed explorers of the unknown. From the time we can walk and talk, we want to know what things are and how they work - we begin life as little scientists. Brian Greene
Life Work Time Walk Every Unknown Parent Know Talk Knows How Scientists Begin Children Want Little Explorers Things
Sometimes nature guards her secrets with the unbreakable grip of physical law. Sometimes the true nature of reality beckons from just beyond the horizon. Brian Greene
Nature Reality Law Sometimes Guards Secrets Horizon Physical True Beyond True Nature Just Grip Her
All mathematics is is a language that is well tuned, finely honed, to describe patterns; be it patterns in a star, which has five points that are regularly arranged, be it patterns in numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 that follow very regular progression. Brian Greene
Mathematics Language Progression Follow Finely Points Like Well Arranged Very Five Tuned Which Patterns Regular Regularly Describe Star Numbers
We're on this planet for the briefest of moments in cosmic terms, and I want to spend that time thinking about what I consider the deepest questions. Brian Greene
Time Thinking Consider Spend Cosmic About Terms Questions Want Planet Moments Deepest
The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way. Brian Greene
Great Mind Other Way Out Could Idea Great Way Really Universes
I think it's too fast to say that all sci-fi ultimately winds up having some place in science. On the other hand, imaginative minds working outside of science as storytellers certainly have come upon ideas that, with the passing decades, have either materialized of come close to materializing. Brian Greene
Science Think Too Other Minds Say Some Winds Having Outside Come Ideas Sci-Fi Passing Ultimately Hand Up Close Decades Either Place Storytellers Working Certainly Fast Imaginative
Science is very good at answering the 'how' questions. 'How did the universe evolve to the form that we see?' But it is woefully inadequate in addressing the 'why' questions. 'Why is there a universe at all?' These are the meaning questions, which many people think religion is particularly good at dealing with. Brian Greene
Good Religion Science People Think Universe Addressing Evolve See Particularly Dealing How Answering Questions Very Did Form Which Inadequate Meaning Many Why
I think the relationship between memory and time is a very deep and tricky one, to tell you the truth. I don't consider memory another sense. I do consider memory that which allows us to think that time flows. Brian Greene
Truth Time Relationship You Memory Sense Think Consider Tell Tricky Between Another Very Which Us Deep Flows
I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life. Brian Greene

Over the centuries, monumental upheavals in science have emerged time and again from following the leads set out by mathematics. Brian Greene
Time Mathematics Science Monumental Out Emerged Following Leads Over Again Centuries Set
When you buy a jacket, you pick the size to ensure it fits. Similarly, we live in a universe in which the amount of dark energy fits our biological make-up. If the amount of dark energy were substantially different from what we've measured, the environmental conditions would be inhospitable to our form of life. Brian Greene
Life Environmental Buy You Dark Energy Live Universe Our Ensure Would Would-Be Similarly Pick Were Conditions Fits Jacket Substantially Different Size Form Which Measured Amount Biological
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
Truth You Three Met Say Claim Dimensions Tell Some More Never Envision Than Maybe Anybody Hard Who
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
You Rare Move On Interviewer Kids Follow-Up Implicit Talking Because Question Get Quite May Move Oftentimes Sixth Ask Fifth Decorum Who Seasoned Necessarily Fourth Third
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
Needs You Science Way Worst Worst Thing Brought General Absolute General Public Judgmental Opinion Opposite Condescending In My Opinion Public Forth Ever Thing Bringing
