After hearing him talk several times I feel Brian Greene is someone you just can't do anything else but feel respect for.

One of the best science communicators of our time.

Brian Greene is incredible but can we take a moment to acknowledge what a wonderful, humorous, engaging, knowledgeable, and polite host Faith Salie is ❤️❤️

This man has not lost ANY of his enthusiasm about the universe.

I wouldn’t have believed I could respect and appreciate another person I’ve never met as much as I do this man. What a unique grouping of molecules he is!

Brian is so articulate. Not 1 wasted word. He's great. Host did an awesome job. Funny and quick-witted too.

A conversation like this on a Saturday evening in Stockholm is no less than a cosmic blessing! Thanks, Faith, and thanks, Brian!

Each World Science Festival episode is nothing less than a blessing.

Greene is so good and Faith, you really got him going. Brilliant conversation

We are so incredibly fortunate these days, to be able to listen to some of the brightest. Most enlightened scientific minds brought to us on UKposts . People like Brian and Sean, Carrol, and Richard Dawkins, in so many more. This kind of information was not really available before the Internet insights like UKposts. I really enjoy this kind of program.

Thank you World Science Festival! 🌈

Brian talks about the romance of math, I only wish I had his experience. I had the opposite experience, math was torture, punishment, etc.. and therefore unpleasant. Yet I always knew in my gut that mathematics was clearly amazingly useful for our lives. So I'm super glad math nerds are with us! Thanks to those who really get it and share their expertise so we can have the chance for survival.

I love this man's knowledge when I realized that the Planet Earth does not need our presence at any level

It's so nice to see Brian interviewed for a change.

I like how Brian Greene and Max Tegmark both have the same idea about how we are all just particles. I was really entertained by this one.

A wonderful program for getting to know a different side of a great mind in a great man called Brian Green. 💗

Brian is AWESOME!!!!!!

Beautifully done. It's not about legacy. It's about this magic moment we live in now. We all have won the cosmos of lotteries! This tiny moment IS enough. I'm 74 and have had a lifetime of adventure on. land and sea. I'm headed to the Alaskan Wilderness in August. Live to you die. Live life to its top. And please let me say this magic is where you are right now. You don't have to Sail to the Bahamas or live in the Alaskan wilderness. You are truely free to live now. Don't waste a breath. Change your self-story if you have to. Now go live. Throw my ashes into the Bering Sea right after my last gasp.

Brian green is the absolute best at helping regular people understand deep physics topics. He knows how to explain without dumbing it down. Genius.

Excellent interview. I always learn new stuff from hearing Brian. He is a fantastic educator. Tremendous Faith and Brian for good 60 minutes.

With deep Gratitude for the inspiration, Wisdom & Light that was embraced by this moving presentation.

These topics and exploration of the universe bring me a joy that nothing else can. I only wish I had friends who enjoy the same intellectual debates as I do so we can share our rambles and thoughts as we talk through the night.

Thank you Faith for the excellent conversation with a wonderful humanist and scientist Brian Greene who generously share his vast knowledge and understanding of the physical phenomena with people 🙏🏽🌺🌺🌺

I love the way Bryan Greene explains the complexity of our universe in a easy to understand phrases. You are the best!

I have just started listening to the audio version of his book, narrated by Brian Greene himself. What a wonderful, thought provoking journey it is proving to be. I respect this man for his intelligence, dedication, and his storytelling abilities to make the mind staggering information of quantum physics understandable to one (me) who has no scientific background but does have a curiosity. Thank you, Dr. Greene. And Thank you, Faith Sallie for this program.

I REMEMBER WHEN I HAD QUESTIONS THE SAME WAY AS BRIAN HAS,WHY ARE WE HERE?,THE EXTRAORDINARY THING THAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF LOVE,FEEL,HATE,COMUNICATE EACH OTHER,ETC,AND WHY ARE WE COSNCIOUS BEINGS? ETC ETC;AND I WAS ASKING THE WRONG PEOPLE BECAUSE THEIR ANSWERS WERE SOMETHING LIKE:DON'T ASK DUMB QUESTIONS OR HOW SILLY ARE YOU ASKING THOSE THINGS,AND FINALLY I'VE FOUND PEOPLE LIKE BRIAN GREENE,ELON MUSK,LEX FRIDMAN,ETC,PEOPLE WHO HAS THE SAME QUESTIONS AS ME AND BESIDES SUPER SMART PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS,THIS IS "AMAZING"!!👍👍👍👍

When we were very young, one teacher explained to us that if you open the door if the fridge and close the room door, the room is going to get hotter not colder and that is one of the ways of understanding entropy

Growing up, I Never had somebody to look up to but Brian Green has become one of very few select that I do listen to and appreciate. I was lucky enough to ask him a question in Sydney two months back and it was an honour to do so. Thank you for keeping me interested in science and space. Your influence has made its way to the philosophy that I have been adopting while doing my PhD

Love Brian Green, his passion and enthusiasm is contagious

experience is waaaay more than words, i can describe fireworks to you but I can never make you feel the beauty of being at a fireworks show. i personally think that the brain reacts to so many different stimuli, some as random and absurd as the universe itself, that our "free will" and our sense of self has fundamentally infinite possibilities. it's crazy how much we can really think about if we band together

This video is equal parts informative and beautiful, and I think that's largely a reflection of the 2 humans sharing the stage. Faith and Brian seem to complement each other perfectly... literally and figuratively. My only complaint is this: TOO SHORT. I would happily spend several more hours with these people. Just wonderful.

Simply listening to this makes my life more meaningful

Brian Greene is my source for time space and what not! You keep me coming back to you dear Sir! Thank you!

Faith Salie - RESPECT

I can listen to Brian Greene talk all day, this man has so many brilliant ideas and his perspective is unique and I can't do nothing but have the upmost respect for that man

Great show, and great tribute to all you bring to the world Brian👏🙏. Dx

Good interview.

Amazing interview, so eloquent and fascinating, few can speak about such complex concepts with grace. Off to order the book!

I feel similar to the way Brian did about doing physics going through some dark moments or a tough portion of life. Thank You Dr. Greene, you will always be a motivation for me in life.

This talk is GREAT

What a great interview. Thank you!

It goes without saying that Brian Greene is a physics/science gem. I didn't know who Faith Salie was before this inteveriew but she KILLS IT. Well done both of you.

Brian is an awesome human being.

I'll never get over what an amazing speaker he is on subjects thats borderline impossible to comprehend for a lot of people

She's a really terrific interviewer. She clearly read the book, has cogent questions, and articulates them well.

The moment a particle is a wave; it has to be a conscious wave! Gravity is the conscious attraction among waves to create the illusion of particles, and our experience-able Universe. Max Planck states: "Consciousness is fundamental and matter is derived from Consciousness". Life is the Infinite Consciousness, experiencing the Infinite Possibilities, Infinitely. We are "It", experiencing our infinite possibilities in our finite moment. Our job is to make it interesting!

Brian Greene is the greatest science communicator that I know of

Excellent.... thanks 🙏.

Another great session by Brian Greene! 👏

Mr Greene is amazing. Very smart and yet very humble. Totally unassuming individual. Respect!

Excellent. One of the best conversations about physics and meaning I have watched

Oh guys, thank you! I enjoyed every moment of it!

A rare man indeed. What a please that was. Thank you 🙏

Consciousness, at its finest - is where one - is intimate - with the Great Being. For each and everyone - of us. Secret, private and real - with the Friend/ Beloved. All - only within - thine heart, alone. May it be so.

Such brilliance and clarity. One only hopes and dreams, provided we’re successful and don’t disperse into an endless array of particles, where no 2 shall ever meet again, that when this all returns from wince time, space and everything came, that the consciousness that decided to randomly divide itself into particles, will remember everything, but not ever feel compelled to test the veracity of its own perfection again. But, what fun to remember everything, every particle, every star, every planet, and the lives of every being, in 360 degree technicolor consciousness, all that came about through its own division into creation. The awe and wonder never ceases ❤

That was a truly excellent meeting of minds, with the ultimately perfect conclusion that it is about enjoying the moments that we get. Physics is one thing but animal biology is another thing altogether, but what a wonderful opportunity it is that we have the ability in our time to appreciate complex nature can be. Brian’s wrong though on self determination. A rail track with a carriage, the track determines the range of possible positions the carriage can be, but the carriage determines which of those possibilities suits it best over time. We all have self determination with in the range of possible freedoms and time.

The Universe sounds so cool! I must visit it come day.

great to have people like him!

This is a good interview, not only Brian is brilant, but Faith salie is very well prepared,

Incredible man, thanks Brian.

About a year ago, I bought a bookshelf for my living room that really tied the room together. I had 5 shelves, and I filled one with my fiction books, and the bottom with my college books. I just ordered Brian's book here and am about to clear the random stuff I have on another shelf, and start my new nonfiction section. It will be here wednesday. I gotta read it first so that section will wait.

WOW Fantastic Video!!! Thank you Brian Greene and Faith for your fabulous interaction.

I'll miss you Brian, I wish I can inspire people the way you inspire me. I think this is the only way we get to a point that's worth it. Even if it's a high chance we won't, what's better than trying. That's the only way I can feel hopeful and not depressed. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Very helpful to better understand time and life. Gratefully, thx to both. 👌💜🌹

Wonderful episode! Faith - energetic, smart and beautiful and a great interviewer! Same with Brian! :) Love from sweden!

Awesome as always. It’s good to be back 😊

After all of the physics,astronomy, & general science videos i watch, wich is to say in scientific terms, a crap ton... I have found that certain atmospheric qualities allow me to retain and in turn recall more information than others. ... this particular video is a prime example of said atmosphere. Its 95% Likely the chemistry between Faith and Brian. Faiths enthusiasm to learn and her welcoming & charming charecter really is almost like a super conductor where the brilliance of Brian's mind just flows out and into the minds of those of us that carry even a flicker of curiosity & wonder of what exactly is...

Live in the present it is all we really have!! Learn from the past and wish for the future. I would have liked Faith to ask Brian about sitting comfortably in "One's Own Personal Concisness Bubble" in a crowded nightclub interacting with your friends surrounded by hundreds of people indifferent to your very existence. You get this irresistible urge to look in a specific location behind you and lock eyes with someone specifically checking you out from a distance. Personally, I wonder if this phenomenon has some connection to the observer effect. Thank You!! for the discussion.

Very good explanation because people can not understand the relationship between atom and universe and human purpose and function..excellent i can say

Brian I’ve considered the free will thing. I agree and would like to add a bit. All of the chemical processes that take place within our brain an associated with them are summarized by their fundamental particles which exhibit quantum behavior. We are aware that means they behave probabilistic. This makes me have a different perspective. Maybe we still do not have free will. Because any outcome is possible, we perceive free will. Still bound by the physics as you mentioned.

For any late watchers of this program, you can be assured that all of the Cosmos is in perfect harmony with our Creators will! 😀

Not that there was any doubt about Faith's willingness to do anything for Brian, but sheesh! Girl is dripping @30:00

Well said Brian Greene.

My brain completely changed when i read michio kakus hyperspace book (made before i was born, 1990, yet people dont even understand any of einstines idias yet hahaha) He doesn't even say the word dimension. I do and everone gets confused and i go down rabbit holes. It's really tough talking about science because I'm so far ahead of everyone else. And all a them, he and michio kaku, me, everyone. But again, they never go down the rabbit hole, even though that's the monster not only in the closet, but also under the bed and all darkness out side in night, even when you turn the lights off. You have to address it. This dark matter is string theory. Its time and space, and we even have some math equations and laws, yet they are never talked about. There's so much, ... and he even kinda leans tord without a question, and answer is worthless. If you skip to the end of our book, everybody dies. Boaring. The only religion worth teaching is string theory because particals are transdimensional. But he says all there is is laws of physics and particals wiggling till they die. Yea being one with nature is cool, but if you cant get into that, get into what i say, be one with dimensions. Be one with string theory. They will all pass on. What makes our molecules are tied to us transdimensionaly, and then they all go away when time doesn't matter anymore. They go up a dimension. Time is a dimension. Its more than just death, and its not religion. I believe in super string theory. Its been around for almost twice I've been alive for. One day more people will be like me. I've lived a tough life and nobody knows or cares, but i believe in something better than anybody else. In other words, get on my level bro. Theres more forces of nature in lower dimensions. The more forces of nature are combined with gravity in higher dimensions. He even wrote that in his book, but again, thats not "in sceen" its not what the cool cats do. Therefore all u can do is buy his book and monitize knolage.

Great guest. She did her homework.

After what Brian Greene said about The Freewill and the illusion of it: I have questioned myself, my life and it's meaning, and the meaning of the whole universe? But I still believing in Freewill, and I think that the double slit experiment and observer effect may be a reflection of our Freewill.

"Pick up the coffee cup! Go ahead! Pick up the coffee cup ONE MORE TIME! I dare you MF! I said pick up the coffee CUP... ONE... MORE... TIME. GO AHEAD! Now... tell me... What does Marcellus Wallace look like!?!" 😂

Watching this guy , my brain struggles to keep up. Is it better to live life in ignorance of the greater things we cannot control or just let these guys get on with it? How does he sleep at night with all these questions. ❤

We Live Now - Learning from the Past Hoping for a Future.

The answer to Life , the Universe & Everything = Greene

great interview

‘We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself’ - Carl Sagan

Amazing interview!! Best in absolute!

Thanks again.

I am sold on the book! Great video!

Gave me chills

5:19 I love that about math and physics!

42:37 transcendence 49:20 humanity and consciousness is a crack of life between two eternities of darkness

Great conversation...I really enjoyed it! I see that book is on Audible and it gets good reviews.

Fascinating

Thanks.

We as humans don't understand so much. We are too fast to think we have answers, but offen find that our answers are not right.

Excellent

Clarifying "vegan* cheesecake" made me smile. Thank you, Brian, for being an example to others, and openly carrying the plant-based torch that passed from Socrates to Plato to Da Vinci to Newton to Tesla to Einstein. Having vegan intellectuals like you around helps to prove the validity and viability of the movement. 💚

Amazing

great show

Human r so excited when dey see for the first time and keep on pushing how it works, but they forget , how and how my feelings is

Motion in Magnet depending on the the field of the Magnet. Greater relative Magnetic field have the possibility of holding everything together and at the same time moving the them apart and around regardless of the matters' properties from our perception. Our prior intellectuals talked about "constant motion" and "general theory of relativity"

great... bravoo
