He would write, \u201cA new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because the opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we had a microscope powerful enough, we could see that electrons, quarks, neutrinos, etc. are nothing but vibrations on minuscule loops resembling rubber bands. If we pluck the rubber band enough times and in different ways, we eventually create all the known subatomic particles in the universe. This means that all the laws of physics can be reduced to the harmonies of these strings. Chemistry is the melodies one can play on them. The universe is a symphony. And the mind of God, which Einstein eloquently wrote about, is cosmic music resonating throughout space-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">If you found value in this article, it would be amazing if you shared it on your favorite social media platform!&nbsp;<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michio Kaku&#8217;s book &#8220;The God Equation&#8221;.
