If the theory turns out to be right, that will be tremendously thick and tasty icing on the cake. Brian Greene cakeicetasty Change image and share on social
When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity to advanced high school students. Brian Greene advanceforwardgeneral Change image and share on social
We know that if supersymmetric particles exist, they must be very heavy; otherwise we would have spotted them by now. Brian Greene existheavyparticle Change image and share on social

Before the discovery of quantum mechanics, the framework of physics was this: If you tell me how things are now, I can then use the laws of physics to calculate, and hence predict, how things will be later. Brian Greene calculatediscoveryframework share on social
