24 String Theory Quotes for You to Enjoy

In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings, and the 'Mind of God' is cosmic music resonating in 11-dimensional hyperspace. Michio Kaku

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

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

For bedtime reading, I usually curl up with a good monograph on quantum physics or string theory, my specialty. But since I was a child, I have been fascinated by science fiction. My all-time favorite is 'The Foundation Trilogy,' by Isaac Asimov. Michio Kaku

According to String Theory, what appears to be empty space is actually a tumultuous ocean of strings vibrating at the precise frequencies that create the 4 dimensions you and I call height, width, depth and time. Roy H. Williams

Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well. Roy H. Williams

Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory. Alan Guth

My work on symmetries of string theory is on what is known as strong-weak coupling duality, or S-duality. Ashoke Sen

Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because a point particle is replaced by a string, which is more spread out. Edward Witten

To the extent that we even understand string theory, it may imply a massive number of possible different universes with different laws of physics in each universe, and there may be no way of distinguishing between them or saying why the laws of physics are the way they are. And if I can predict anything, then I haven't explained anything. Lawrence M. Krauss

Saying Physics Predict Universe String Way String Theory Distinguishing Possible Laws Between Imply Massive Understand May Different Anything Explained Them Then Theory Even Each Why Extent Number Universes

If string theory is a mistake, it's not a trivial mistake. It's a deep mistake and therefore kind of worthy. Lee Smolin

Mistake String String Theory Kind Worthy Trivial Theory Deep Therefore

Is the universe 'elegant,' as Brian Greene tells us? Not as far as I can tell, not the usual laws of particle physics, anyway. I think I might find the universal principles of String Theory most elegant - if I only knew what they were. Leonard Susskind

Physics Think Universe String String Theory Tell Tells Find Laws Only Knew Particle Most Principles Were As Far As Anyway Might Far Us Brian Theory Usual Elegant Universal

Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark matter, perhaps test string theory, find planets which can harbor life, and maybe have Brain 2.0, i.e. our consciousness on a disk which will survive even after we die. Michio Kaku

When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And the only candidate is string theory. Michio Kaku

Time You Travel Amazing Try Every Resolve Every Time Everything String String Theory Telling Must Only Pushed Calculation Look Quantum Limits Prove Question Time Travel Effects Very Dominate Candidate Where Einstein Us Really Theory Disprove Need

General relativity is the cornerstone of cosmology and astrophysics. It has also provided the conceptual basis for string theory and other attempts to unify all the forces of nature in terms of geometrical structures. Paul Davies

As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string should behave and so on. Roger Penrose

You Consistency Extra String Way String Theory Say Dimensions About How Behave Certain Should Requirements Requires Theory

String theory has had a long and wonderful history. It originated as a technique to try to understand the strong force. It was a calculational mechanism, a way of approaching a mathematical problem that was too difficult, and it was a promising way, but it was only a technique. It was a mathematical technique rather than a theory in itself. Sheldon Lee Glashow
