Science Is The Process That Takes Us From Confusion To Understanding.

The Central Idea Of String Theory Is Quite Straightforward. If You Examine Any Piece Of Matter Ever More Finely, At First You'll Find Molecules, Atoms, Sub-atomic Particles. Probe The Smaller Particles, You'll Find Something Else, A Tiny Vibrating Filament Of Energy, A Little Tiny Vibrating String.

I Like To Think That Einstein Would Look At String Theory’s Journey And Smile, Enjoying The Theory’s Remarkable Geometrical Features While Feeling Kinship With Fellow Travelers On The Long And Winding Road Toward Unification.

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.

If The Theory Turns Out To Be Right, That Will Be Tremendously Thick And Tasty Icing On The Cake.
