Riddles of Reality: From Quarks to the Cosmos

#BrianGreene #FrankWilczek #TempletonPrize

As our quantum mechanical understanding of the microworld is refined, deeply puzzling mysteries persist. In this vibrant and wide-ranging discussion, Brian Greene probes current insights in the field and what they may mean for our future understanding of reality with Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate and 2022 Templeton Prize winner.

I feel really gratefull that ordinary person like me have the access to this information & even I don't fully grasp the concept of the science that is being discussed, but I do find listening to science is my escape to busy life & motivation whenever I feel down. For me, listeing to science is like doing my meditation 🧘‍♀️. I feel enlighten at some degree. Thank you scientists.

I feel amazingly blessed to be alive during a period in our history as humans to where I can access this amazing conversation and information for free, I could listen to these fellows talk several more hours. Please keep making these tremendously informative and entertaining videos. Thank you a million times, you've ignited my childlike curiosity for the universe

Thank you Brian Greene. You are the greatest advocate for those of us who read, but do not exist in the realm of mathematics. Your contribution to enriching the lives of us intelligent punters deserves recognition, and the value of your work will resonate for generations.

Brian I’ve been listening to you, along with others PASSIONATELY for a long while now. As a matter of fact I have enrolled into college as a result to study these astonishing subjects. If it wouldn’t be bothersome or put you out of your way, could you please simply give me words of encouragement or advice while live? I can’t even begin to tell you what it would mean to me and what it would brew inside me. You are the single source of inspiration I needed to make the leap into theoretical physics. You are my hero. Thank you, Brian

They say every scientist is a child in heart ❤️

I'll set the scene, it's cold, miserable and raining, it's late at night and I'm restoring my Honda Civic Type R.
I get to the stage where I'm sick and tired of the same music, I'm unable to find a podcast that's actually interesting, silence is no good.
I can't even remember why/ how I got to find the World Science Festival channel but 15 minutes into Brian Greene's talk with Max Tegmark and I am hooked. Totally, unequivocally hooked.
Fast forward 7 months and 2 dozen books later and I'm still wanting more. Our universe has captured my imagination but more importantly my love of reading again.
I can't confess to understand it all but being able to regurgitate this information to people is brilliant, an actual conversation starter and sustainer.
Thank you to everyone involved with this channel.

The understanding and attraction for science will greatly increase if people are encouraged to use their mobile phones to do experiments and see results with their own eyes. They carry around a very sophisticated and relatively cheap device with multiple sensors which was not possible before. I just used the barometer in my mobile phone to observe that when a train start moving forward from rest, the air moves backwards causing a dip in pressure. When it comes to rest, the air moves forward causing a rise in pressure. These are all expected but was very difficult to verify before. I have done plenty of other things with my mobile phone and some apps that I could not do before. My students used smart phones to measure their own power needed to climb up stairs.

Great talk Professor Greene. You always make it easy enough for us normal people. Thank you.

If you think you will never understand this, I'm here to tell you YOU absolutely CAN!!!! I once didn't and then i stuck with it, read a lot and eventually these things start to make sense. The more of us understand science the better off we all become!!! 💞

[snarzetax]

What an interesting fellow. Thank you Dr. Greene.

[diegosmommy]

Brian Greene is the true definition of curiosity, I love it. Thank you for letting us be a part of that. 💜🦠🐟🦡🦧🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🌍🌠🌌

I have recently become a fan of Frank Wilczek.
Then I found out he had been awarded the Templeton Prize.
This prize is awarded for outstanding contributions in affirming "life's spiritual dimension".
More importantly, it will help to pay for the increasing cost of energy (June 2022).

[Jsurf]

The conclusion is brilliant. Listening to you guys does have a "mind expansion" effect on me for sure, the same way a jazz or classical concert would.

The discussion of the possible moral benefits of the scientific ethos was very interesting and, I think, important.

[RichardCousins-iwwh]

Without commercials we would have to pay to hear these guys and to learn about the universe and guess what we would be as ignorant as we were a few years ago

[scottg]

I have binge watched these science video's for a couple of months. The amount of knowledge, of the participants, and I am pretty smart, has been astonished me. This guy is the smartest.

I really like the way that Professor Frank Wilczek thinks, relates and enjoys his work through having fun. I'm looking forward to more from him and wish him all the best in developing out all the little details and nuances needed to complete his theory/ies. Dark Matter and then maybe Dark Energy. I also like the dual meaning of Axion. Thank you Sir, and Thanks to Brian Greene for your part in orchestrating the interview.

You could not have come at a better time! I work night shifts & what a treat to enter sleep with ;-j
