This is so much better than 'celebrities' talking about literally nothing. (Well, phyicists are allowed to talk about nothing. But you know what I mean.)

Sorry to hear about your mom, I hope she has a speedy recovery. Honestly these videos have done a lot for me during this time and I'm sure I'm not the only one. A HUGE thank your for spreading your knowledge.
Sincerely,
Your 13th biggest fan

Sir, einstein said that space, the fabric vorp, then y not moon directly roll down valley and hit the moon as space is fabric valley for the moon????

Prof Greene. As a Muslim I really appreciate your style. Although you are not relegious, unlike Dawkins and Harris, you don't ridicule anyone's beliefs. You seem to respect all people.

Hope your mom gets better.

Thank you so much Professor Greene. I'm a spiritual person as well. It's absurd to me to think that "brave" would be a descriptor of someone who says they're spiritual but this is the world we find ourselves in. The aggression I face any time I ask a question that makes folks think I'm spiritual is so in-your-face that sometimes I just don't ask. I'm ashamed to admit that. I have so many questions. Thank you.

[frogz]

thank you professor, i hope your mom gets well soon, family are some of the most important things in life

[sciencesimplified]

For whatever it’s worth... you have an unusually rare gift for explaining complex theoretical physics... In my opinion your the best out of all Famous physicists... this information on the internet in this digestible form is precious I hope your comments give you inspiration and motivation to make as many videos as possible...

If and when we leave this Earth it would be very helpful if we could communicate instantaneously back to here or wherever else we end up being. Sound nuts right. Well maybe not. Here is part of what I have in mind. Since Entangled Particles seem to be connected in such a way that each knows instantly, the "spin state" of the other twin, at least for this discussion lets suppose they do. Then here is my thought. What if every mission into deep space were to carry with them a device that contained some number of Entangled particles that were initially entangled with their entangled twins at their point of origin. Then if it were possible to construct within that device a method wherein they could be arranged, for want of a better word, into a position or state such that they could be encoded with binary states that could be altered then maybe messages could be sent from place to place seemingly instantaneously. I say "seemingly" since it may be that what we see as instantaneous may not in fact be instantaneous when our methods of measurement progress to a point where we can be more precise.Think of up/down as 0/1.if that helps.For all you Star Trek Fans who understand Binary, think of a light board with only red/green lights fixed behind it. At each position on the board the light could be either one or the other now picture the spin of the "up" particle being"red" and the "down" spin being green. then it should be possible to encode the msg in binary on the entangled particles at one location and that msg would appear instantly on the remote board where the device containing the entangled twin particles was a primitive form of this device could be tested on the Space Station to verify my hypothesis.

Professor you should explain in a series videos the great maxwells equation focusing especially on how 4 equation are able to predict a great deal in electromagnetism. You should perhaps in explain the origin of equations in little bit historical context so that one could grasp what experimental facts compelled scientist to construct such a theoretical structure to explain those facts.

Good Morning Dr. Greene from Smithtown, NY:
1) What kind of math / equation did Niels Bohr use to arrive that electrons are in fixed energy levels around the atom, i.e. are QUANTIZED.

2) Can anything be said about the velocity or acceleration of an electron around the atom ? If they are moving around the nucleus in a circular orbit (??) how come there is no emission of radiation, or are they not moving ?

Thanks for your show and contribution to scientific education.

I can't thank you enough Dr. Greene for the time you set aside each day for these thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening sessions. More generally, your ability to communicate physics and cosmology to the world, here and in your talks, is unsurpassed. You are informed, intelligent, articulate, and engaging. That's a pretty good combination! (P.S. I am a semi-retired Canadian professor of psychology with a passion for both my own field and physics. So much to learn, so little time).

[ryguy]

Wishing a speedy recovery for your mother! Thank you for everything Dr. Greene, this is a dream come true to have these

[jbarnes]

looked away for a second and looked back at 4:22 and nearly lost my shit at the shape of Brian's hand, accidentally showing us part of his true alien form.

[captainpints]

These Q&A formats are pretty cool eh? You got 5 minutes for a quick chat? Sure!Two hours later here we all are. The best type of distraction right now. So good.

[dennisperry]

Such an act of generosity doing this series. Thank you Dr. Greene. In my late 60s I can still get my brain together enough to experience physics on a level and from a professor I could only have dreamed of all those years ago when I was in college. Thank you for all you do.

[gigelchiazna]

Brian thank you for your latest videos, lots of material to go over!

[cthree]

Can you explain Maxwell's equations?

[robsmitha]

I can only repeat what others say. Wishing your mother a speedy recovery and thank you for your excellent series of videos during lockdown. I'm in the UK btw as you seem interested in where people are (30 miles south west of London).

[jerroneous]

I enjoy experimenting with the interactions of the particulate constructs of various cheeses with those of the human palate. Dr. Greene you are a truly remarkable human being, thank you for all your efforts and hoping for a speedy recovery for your Mom!

[rowangi]

I just can’t get enough of these Doc Greene’s q&a’s! I must have listened these dozens of times and still every time I’m amazed by a thing I never thought of!! Thank you so much for doing what you do best: Inspire, educate and supercharge my imagination!
