12、y I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe.I asked him a million-dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented m

13、y parents from meeting? ” Most of us believe that the universe makes sense, “ Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, “ he added, “the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical(不合逻辑的)from taking place.The good news is that the time paradox(

14、悖论)is open for future physicists to solve. ”When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren t yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.

15、 ”When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. The basic stuff is important, “ Greene said. But I think it s really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big

16、 Bang.If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.vGreene has followed Albert Einstein s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe.Now he wants kids to do the same.As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems

33、g.Never do anything that bores you.My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things, and then leaves you alone.r m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. 4It s very hard to succeed if you don t want to be with other scientists, because you have to go to key mee

34、tings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you.And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them objectionable.So my final rule is: 5A.
