Quantum Gravity Quotes

#1. An event horizon is also called the point of no return. In a sense of general relativity, it's the point at which the gravitational pull becomes so great escape is impossible. Some theorize quantum gravity effects become significant in the vicinity of such an occurrence.

Karen Marie Moning

#2. Whether you can go back in time is held in the grip of the law of quantum gravity.

Kip Thorne

#3. There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein's classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change.

Edward Witten

#4. The Planck satellite may detect the imprint of the gravitational waves predicted by inflation. This would be quantum gravity written across the sky.

Stephen Hawking

#5. Quantum mechanics as it stands would be perfect if we didn't have the quantum-gravity issue and a few other very deep fundamental problems.

Gerard 't Hooft

#6. Every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the speed of light has actually increased.

Lee Smolin

#7. Once you are a model, you do have to fly a million red-eye flights, and you do have to entertain a different client every single day.

Cameron Russell

#8. They lived the slow and invisible interpenetration of their universes, like two stars gravitating around a common axis, in ever tighter orbits, whose clear destiny is to coalesce at some point in space and time.

Paolo Giordano

#9. I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.

Brian Greene

#10. The Constitution is government's stop sign. It says, you - the three branches of government - can go so far and no farther.

Michele Bachmann

#11. Time sits at the center of the tangle of problems raised by the intersection of gravity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics.

Carlo Rovelli

#12. Sweet smile is half again as sinister as her sister's razor. Beside her is an Olympic Knight, the Storm Knight

Pierce Brown

#13. It's not the amount of time that matters, Nina. It's what you do with it.

Rachel Vincent

#14. him each step was an accomplishment. To her each

Yitzhak Gormezano Goren

#15. The resulting, stable singularities now carry the name BKL in honor of Belinsky, Khalatnikov, and Lifshitz. A BKL singularity is chaotic. Highly chaotic. And lethal. Highly lethal.

Kip S. Thorne

#16. We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.

Kip Thorne

#17. Three of the four forces (excluding gravity) are therefore united by quantum theory, giving us unification without geometry, which appears to contradict the theme of this book and everything we have considered so far.

Michio Kaku

#18. The most important single thing about string theory is that it's a highly mathematical theory, and the mathematics holds together in a very tight and consistent way. It contains in its basic structure both quantum mechanics and the theory of gravity. That's big news.

Leonard Susskind

#19. Relativity. Gravity. Quantum. Electrodynamics. Evolution. Each of these theories is true, whether or not you believe in them.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

#20. The extreme weakness of quantum gravitational effects now poses some philosophical problems; maybe nature is trying to tell us something new here: maybe we should not try to quantize gravity.

Richard P. Feynman

#21. Dancing Master of the On-Going"
-Scott Wannberg-

David Rat

#22. Surprisingly now, over a half a century later, time symmetric approaches to electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, gravity, and cosmology might be consonant with the kind of eschatology that a theist such as Pannenberg supports.

Robert John Russell

#23. From a thread of sky
to the warp and weft of your being
You're beautiful, graceful,
like no other;
You're pretty damn good as you are.

Imogen Heap

#24. It is likely that space as we know it ceases to exist and is replaced by some form of chaotic quantum 'foam', where gravity plays a new role in fashioning the forms of energy that can exist.

Anonymous

#25. 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.

Brian Greene
