I would say in one sentence my goal is to at least be part of the journey to find the unified theory that Einstein himself was really the first to look for.
Very much, string theory is simply a work in progress. What we are inching toward every day are predictions that within the realm of current technology we hope to test. It's not like we're working on a theory that is permanently beyond experiment. That would be philosophy.

I think the appropriate response for a physicist is: 'I do not find the concept of God very interesting, because I cannot test it.'

My view is that science only has something to say about a very particular notion of God, which goes by the name of 'god of the gaps'.

The math of quantum mechanics and the math of general relativity, when they confront one another, they are ferocious antagonists and the equations don't work.

One of the strangest features of string theory is that it requires more than the three spatial dimensions that we see directly in the world around us. That sounds like science fiction, but it is an indisputable outcome of the mathematics of string theory.

Our eyes only see the big dimensions, but beyond those there are others that escape detection because they are so small.

I think it's too fast to say that all sci-fi ultimately winds up having some place in science. On the other hand, imaginative minds working outside of science as storytellers certainly have come upon ideas that, with the passing decades, have either materialized of come close to materializing.

My view is that you don't tell the universe what to do. The universe is how it is, and it's our job to figure it out.
