The math of quantum mechanics and the math of general relativity, when they confront one another, they are ferocious antagonists and the equations don't work. Brian Greene antagonistconfrontequation Change image and share on social
Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic. Brian Greene breakclassicalestablish Change image and share on social
I can't stand clutter. I can't stand piles of stuff. And whenever I see it, I basically just throw the stuff away. Brian Greene basicallyclutterpile Change image and share on social
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.

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 deepflowmemory share on social
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. Brian Greene basicbuildchallenge share on social
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 beginchildexplorer share on social
