Why Einstein was obsessed with this unsettling vision

How did the image of a man falling to his death help us uncover some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs in physics? Columbia University's theoretical physicist Brian Greene shares how this morbid concept would go on to become what Albert Einstein called the happiest thought of his life.

Greene is the co-founder of the World Science Festival, which has a new initiative called "City of Science" which is a 5-event series. The third event will be taking place in Queens on September 25, 2016. All events will take place in one of New York City's five boroughs throughout this fall.

"City of Science" is free and open to all New Yorkers of all ages.

Seriously, 18 comments? Oh wait 19 now... HAPPIEAT THOUGHT OF MY LIFR

This channel is so underrated back then, 12 comments and im the 13th one

yes, INITIAL D-egree of einstein. (running in the 90's intensifies)

Anyone that has jumped in a bungee jump know that you feel heavier as you keep falling, like velocity always does, increases the G force, nonsense

This show how few their are of Intelligent people on this earth. 😐

Brian Greene 💰 is knowingly and deceitfully lying about physics.

Einstein was a weasel. WHERE EINSTEIN WENT WRONG REGARDING WHAT IS BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity:

Boris Stoyanov is a super bright and an HONEST physicist. He has agreed that the following paragraph (and I quote) is "crystal clear":

"ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This is proven by F=ma AND E=mc2. Accordingly, gravity/acceleration involves balanced inertia/inertial resistance; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. "Mass"/energy involves balanced inertia/inertial resistance consistent with/as what is balanced ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL force/energy, as electromagnetism/energy is gravity. Gravity IS electromagnetism/energy. That objects fall at the same rate (neglecting air resistance, of course) PROVES that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Think about it." 

Get a good look at the BLUE SKY. Get a good look at what is THE EYE. Consider THE MAN who is standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Balanced BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE is the reason that objects AND MEN fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. (Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution.) "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy !!!

E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense, AS BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand !!! Think QUANTUM GRAVITY
