- there was huge enthusiasm. But look, string theory has done miraculous things since the 1980s. And I'm happy to sort of list the achievements, but you're right. It's not done the one thing that— Exploring Hidden Dimensions with Brian Greene
- moment I talk about it since we don't from the math of string theory know how massive how energetic these new particles that string theory seems to require should be and that creates the— The Elegant Universe: Brian Greene in Conversation with Janna Levin
- Pennsylvania who went to a lecture of Ed Witten on string theory in 1980, seemingly three, but Ed Witten doesn't give a lecture on string theory until 1984 after the green Schwartz anomaly cancellation. And in this story where I'm clearly lying, I switched my major from physics to math because I can see the effect that he's just had on a room full of physicists where suddenly everyone has given up like instant learned helplessness. And I never told that story because it's clearly— Geometric Unity: Unifying All Forces + Generations | Eric Weinstein
- I can give you a little bit of history I mean I was never a fan no no that's not true when I first heard about String Theory this was from Leonard susin I liked the idea because the very— Sir Roger Penrose: "The Big Bang was not a beginning of the Universe"
- get into what's changed, where we're at, but I think it's going to require starting with the question that I'm sure you've never been asked before. What is string theory? Yes. Uh, good question.— String Theory, Multiverse, and Divine Design - Brian Greene
- precipitates from that yeah uh largely because well I think there are a number of answers but let me give one quick one string theory for a long long time was viewed as a fundamentally new approach— The Elegant Universe: Brian Greene in Conversation with Janna Levin
- simply can't cope. That's really the heart of the conflict. And so, string theory and other approaches, I'm not saying string theory is the only approach, have tempted to have attempted— Live Q&A with Brian Greene | World Science Festival
- technology, but it has to be physically possible to resolve the deepest open question in fundamental physics, what would it be? Well, look, I mean, since we're talking about string theory,— Live Q&A with Brian Greene | World Science Festival
- if it works but it doesn't seem to be doing that and yet all these resources are going into string theory to try to do it because there has to be a way of doing it and glaser says let's just do— Heidegger, Being & Ontotheology (Mary-Jane Rubenstein)
