If string theory is a mistake, it's not a trivial mistake. It's a deep mistake and therefore kind of worthy.
Lee Smolin
I used to read science fiction a lot, and I still like science fiction when it is a model of how we really are and to see ourselves from another perspective.
Alan Alda
In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't know if either one of them is the right approach to nature.

The central idea of string theory is quite straightforward. If you examine any piece of matter ever more finely, at first you'll find molecules, atoms, sub-atomic particles. Probe the smaller particles, you'll find something else, a tiny vibrating filament of energy, a little tiny vibrating string.

It's horrid to be called a Shakespearean actor because that's incredibly limiting, and we love acting. We like telling stories; anything that excites us we want to be a part of. Science fiction is fun, too!

Science fiction is exciting because it promises to show the world and the universe from perspectives radically unlike what we've seen before.

I like certain subgenres within science fiction and fantasy, and one of those is urban fantasy, and another is steampunk.
