Einstein comes along and says, space and time can warp and curve, that's what gravity is. now string theory comes along and says, yes, gravity, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism - all together in one package, but only if the universe has more dimensions than the ones that we see.

More From Brian Greene

String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. i do believe the universe is consistent, and therefore i do believe that general relativity and quantum mechanics should be put together in a manner that makes sense.
Believe Together Mechanic
In quantum mechanics there is a causing b. the equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. the real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity. quantum mechanics, that big, new, spectacular remarkable idea is that you only predict probabilities, the likelihood of one outcome or another. that's the new idea.
Real Ideas Issues
As an adult i discovered that i was a pretty good autodidact, and can teach myself all kind of things. and developed a great interest in a number of different things from how to build a street hot rod from the ground up to quantum mechanics, and those two different kinds of mechanics, and it was really in the sciences, quantum mechanics, molecular biology, i would begin looking at these things looking for ideas, but in fact you don't read it for ideas you read it for curiosity and interest in the subject.
Ideas Two Numbers
I had two passions when i was a child. first was to learn about einstein's theory and help to complete his dream of a unified theory of everything. that's my day job. i work in something called string theory. i'm one of the founders of the subject. we hope to complete einstein's dream of a theory of everything.
Dream Jobs Children
Quantum mechanics is different. its weirdness is evident without comparison. it is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition, because quantum mechanics shatters our own personal, individual conception of reality
Reality Mind Tuition
What i do for living, working on something called string theory which we think may answer the fundamental question: are there other universes? can you go through a black hole? can you warp the fabric of space and time and meet your mother before you were born? these are all questions that in principle string theory should be able to answer.

My parents were dishonest people. if it was my birthday, i knew my mother took me to the k-mart and she stole my toy. she'd put it in the shopping cart and we'd walk out. i was raised with that.

My mother paid eight dollars a month for rent. when she had it. mostly we were evicted, because she couldnt afford to pay the eight dollars a month.
Mother Eight Dollars
I wiggle my shoulders, i shake my legs, i walk up and down the stage, i hop around on one foot. but i never bump and grind. why, that's vulgar. i'd never do anything vulgar before an audience. my mother would never allow it.
