"The Big Bang was not an explosion in space, but an expansion of space itself."Brian Greene
"String theory, if true, would mean that reality is composed of vibrating one-dimensional objects rather than point particles."Brian Greene
"Relativity teaches us that simultaneity is not absolute; what is simultaneous for one observer may not be for another."Brian Greene
"Quantum entanglement suggests that particles can be connected across vast distances in ways that defy classical intuition."Brian Greene
"Gravity is not a force in the traditional sense, but a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy."Brian Greene
"The speed of light is the ultimate speed limit of the universe, a fundamental constant that cannot be exceeded."Brian Greene
"The universe expands, and the expansion is accelerating due to dark energy, suggesting an eternal future."Brian Greene
"Wormholes are mathematical solutions to Einstein's equations, though we don't know if they actually exist."Brian Greene
"The universe is fundamentally quantum at small scales, yet macroscopic objects behave classically—the bridge between them remains mysterious."Brian Greene
"Every prediction of Einstein's relativity has been confirmed, yet it remains fundamentally incomplete."Brian Greene
"Symmetry principles underlie the deepest laws of physics, suggesting that nature prefers elegant solutions."Brian Greene
"The universe may be infinite in space and finite in age, creating a cosmic horizon beyond which we cannot see."Brian Greene
"Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed—a principle as fundamental as existence itself."Brian Greene
"The universe operates on principles of probability and quantum mechanics, not certainty and classical determinism."Brian Greene
"Time dilation means that an astronaut traveling at near light-speed ages more slowly than someone on Earth."Brian Greene
"The cosmological principle suggests that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales, but we are still testing this assumption."Brian Greene
"Black holes may not be the ultimate dead ends—quantum mechanics suggests they evaporate through Hawking radiation."Brian Greene
"Quantum mechanics allows particles to exist in superposition, in multiple states simultaneously until observed."Brian Greene
"Cosmological inflation explains why the universe appears so uniform and flat, solving major puzzles in our understanding."Brian Greene
"The laws of physics are the same everywhere in the universe, a uniformity that allows us to study distant galaxies."Brian Greene
"Entropy is not a force but a measure of disorder, yet it may explain the arrow of time itself."Brian Greene
"Virtual particles pop in and out of existence at quantum scales, affecting the properties of the vacuum itself."Brian Greene
"The universe's expansion rate is not slowing but accelerating, one of the most surprising discoveries of modern cosmology."Brian Greene
"General relativity predicts that massive, rotating objects should drag spacetime around them—an effect called frame-dragging."Brian Greene
"The cosmic microwave background is the oldest light we can observe, a relic of the early universe preserved across billions of years."Brian Greene
"Matter and energy are interchangeable, linked by the famous equation that changed how we view physics forever."Brian Greene
"Strings vibrating at different frequencies correspond to different particles, unifying all forces in a single framework."Brian Greene
"The horizon of a black hole is not a place of immediate destruction but a region where spacetime becomes incredibly warped."Brian Greene
"Quantum tunneling allows particles to pass through barriers that classical physics says should be impenetrable."Brian Greene
"Information paradoxes in black hole physics suggest that information cannot truly be destroyed, challenging our understanding of thermodynamics."Brian Greene
