WSU: Space, Time, and Einstein with Brian Greene

Join Brian Greene, acclaimed physicist and author, on a wild ride into the mind of Albert Einstein, revealing deep aspects of the world that defy everyday experience. Using a visually rich canvas of animations, Greene leads you through all the startling conclusions of special relativity, from time travel to space warps to E = mc2. In the span of 2+ hours, this short master class will change your conception of reality.

What an absolute joy that we can summon at will and enjoy lectures from not just Brian Greene, but almost all of the masters of science from the comfort of home. Just a few decades ago people would have clamored to attend a lecture like this.

[wnderer]

thanks for the 2.5 hours no ads non stop science... :-)

One of the best episodes of JRE was with brian greene. He rules.

[brianlin]

He had an excellent way to present physics to common folks

I don't have words to express myself of how Dr. Greene is a talented teacher.

[cristiansontay]

Dr. Greene Absolutely amazing course. Connection between time, space, mass, energy and speed of light is very clear. Many thanks. Vijay

Whenever I see this guy's lectures, I am glad I learned English.

I love you Brian Greene,
you are a gift to the world. May your Name
be written in the Book
of Life 🦁🔯👑!!!

What a teacher Green is. Answers just about every common person questions that rises. He explains, then clears arising doubts and Repeat ! To call him genius is just a plain understatement.

[kevinodonnell]

You are one of the greatest educators of ANY generation. We can't thank you enough for your open minded yet skeptical and curious view of nature and your passion to share it with everyone for free. Carl Sagan would be proud.

Mr. Green introduces and explains the basics of special relativity. Over the duration of this recording, . Mr. Green maintains great energy and enthusiasm for the whole damn lecture . He has a particular way of gesturing and motioning with his hands that, to me at least, conveys a good deal of passion and intuition regarding the topics he is holding forth on.

On top of his ability to lecture, his examples are plentiful and really Mr. Green, I'm getting brief glimpses of a young Judd Hirsch peppered throughout.

Beautiful presentation which demonstrates why people will always see things differently relative to where they are and what they are doing at any prospective point in time relative to someone else.
Professor Greene, you are brilliant. I love your lectures 🥰

[rogerthompson]

Dr. Greene has an amazing ability. He can take a complex subject, and make it understandable. Thank you for creating this awesome video. I'd recommend it to anyone.

[arindamchakraborty]

Amazing Dr. Greene. You have explained the mind boggling concepts in such simple terms. Kudos! I just realized that over 2 hrs had gone by. Time had slowed down for me... relativity!!!

[SidharthMiddela]

One of the best explanations on this topic. Simply Brilliant. Brilliantly Simple.

[kingoffire]

So glad he is doing this! We need more science popularizers who simply enjoy the beauty of it with his passion and willingness to teach it the best he can to the average person

[Erik-rphi]

What incredible insight Einstein had. His peers of that time must had been blown away by his ideas how the world works, after they accepted them.

[dheerajrajeevan]

The fact that we are aware of our own shortcomings in our thought process, the reality that we know only a small fragment of what's out there is beyond incredible and really shows just how far humans have come. Greene is an incredible presenter, I could probably listen to him all day!

[sankalpjadkar]

The Revolution in teaching system is started !!!
🙂I am very thankful for it because it is open for everyone all over the world who have a burning desire to understand the UNIVERSE 🙏 like me!

this is a very effective way of learning, from a great communicator, instead of a boring classroom for him to have the ability to take his time and put together a video, edit it, add effects if needed, etc, seems to make oldschool classrooms obsolete. combined with the ability to have massive q and a from students all around the world on any topic, it completely makes classic schools a dinosaurs approach.
