Important Quotations Explained
1. String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings of the universe . . . are reflections of one grand physical principle, one master equation.
2. [I]ndividuals who are moving with respect to each other will not agree on their observations of either space or time.
3. Most physicists find it hard to believe that, at rock bottom, our deepest theoretical understanding of the universe will be composed of a mathematically inconsistent patchwork of two powerful yet conflicting explanatory frameworks.
4. String theory alters this picture radically by declaring that the “stuff” of all matter and all forces is the same.
5. At the opposite extreme, we have also seen that our universe may merely be one of the innumerable frothing bubbles on the surface of a vast and turbulent cosmic ocean called the multiverse.
