Our best theory of describing space at a fundamental level is probably string theory. Alan Guth More Quotes by Alan Guth More Quotes From Alan Guth If laws are just properties of objects, how can those laws continue to operate when the object is not really there? Alan Guth lawscontinuehowjust It was sort of assumed, from the time I was born, really, that I would go to college. That's sort of the way that Jewish families in New Jersey handled things; that was the norm. Alan Guth newborntimeway I think I always wanted to go into physics. What always fascinated me about science was the desire to understand what underlies it all, and I think physics is basically the study of that. Alan Guth understandthinkmescience I'm pretty slow at writing papers. Alan Guth slowprettypaperswriting I do worry about the fact that science is becoming a slower process as society is becoming less patient. Alan Guth societyprocessworryscience From a theoretical point of view, it is very hard to imagine how gravity could avoid being quantized. Alan Guth viewbeingpoint-of-viewhard I am not aware of any sensible theory of how classical gravity could interact with quantum matter, and I can't imagine how such a theory might work. Alan Guth i-amgravitymatterwork I'm a cosmologist. All I do is cosmology. Alan Guth cosmology From the time I was a student, I think I was very confident in my raw abilities. I would think that, given a problem, I was as likely to solve it as anybody. But that's not enough in science to succeed, really. Alan Guth thinkproblemtimescience The idea of combining the physics of modern particle theory with cosmology was very young when I started working on cosmology. Alan Guth workingphysicstheoryyoung
