If string theory is right, the microscopic fabric of our universe is a richly intertwined multidimensional labyrinth within which the strings of the universe endlessly twist and vibrate, rhythmically beating out the laws of the cosmos.

Energy is the ultimate convertable currency.

All you are is a bag of particles acting out the laws of physics. That to me is pretty clear.

I may be a Jewish scientist, but I would be tickled silly if one day I were reincarnated as a Baptist preacher.

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.

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

I love it when real science finds a home in a fictional setting, where you take some real core idea of science and weave it through a fictional narrative in order to bring it to life, the way stories can. That's my favorite thing.
