In order to achieve a true understanding of string theory, some new idea will be required, and most likely, some break with the concepts on which we've traditionally based physical theory.

Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory.

Some string theorists prefer to believe that string theory is too arcane to be understood by human beings, rather than consider the possibility that it might just be wrong.

I'd say many features of string theory don't mesh with what we observe in everyday life.

When I was in high school, I was really into string theory and superstring theory and read 'Scientific American.' It's fascinating.

I've been reading about the idea of cyclical lives - it matches up to the idea of string theory and a multiverse. So I wanted to write a record about that instead of another song about broken hearts and drinking.
