"In essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God's creation... as music"
About this Quote
The subtext is classic motivational alchemy from a businessman: if reality is fundamentally musical, then pattern exists, and if pattern exists, it can be learned, anticipated, maybe even conducted. That’s an appealing frame for entrepreneurial culture, which treats uncertainty as something you can outwork into order. The phrase “all of God’s creation” widens the tent even further, stitching scientific awe to religious reassurance. It’s a bridge for audiences who want both: modern authority without surrendering metaphysical comfort.
Context matters because string theory is famously speculative and, to many, unresolved. That looseness makes it perfect rhetorical raw material: sophisticated enough to sound definitive, elastic enough to mean whatever the speaker needs. Williams’s intent isn’t accuracy; it’s enchantment. He’s aiming for a kind of intellectual goosebump - the sensation that commerce, creativity, and cosmos all run on the same hidden beat.
