Although I am just a retired laymen who had to quit school in the ninth grade in order to help support my very poor family as dad was incapacitated by alcoholism. Now I have time in retirement to indulge my interests. Let me tell you from my perspective. You Brian Greene, the World Science Festival, and all the brilliant guests you bring to your channel are a precious gift to people like me. Your discussions provide me a magic carpet as it were. Whereby I may soar into heights of rarified scientific knowledge that I would never have been able to traverse before. It brings tears of gratitude to my old eyes. Yet I leap with joy in my heart like a young deer who perhaps tastes sweet grass for the first time. Thank you Brian. Keep up the good work I pray.

You have to love someone as humble and practical as Dr. Green. He has devoted his life to study string theory (30 years) and yet tells people to be skeptical of string theory until actual observable data are achieved. How amazing is that.

1yr later: I'm still like whoa, this guy makes things that make little sense...make all the sense in the uni, or multi, verse 😎 thanks again kind sir

[ricardodelzealandia]

Damn! Missed it by 'that' much :-( ... That's it, like Eddy Murphy, I'm coming to America, so I can join one of these sessions.

1:15:48 this is by the best answer that I have ever heard given from a physicist. Extremely logical and well thought out. Thank you for the question and the well thought out response.

[ollofeli]

Brian Green! Thank you for your time and passion for science!

Consciousnesses? Answer is easier to find if you give up individuality.

[SensitiveHercules]

I love these sessions, because we get reply to our answers plus the answers are great.. Truly, my favourite Physict is Einstein, Stephen Hawking and This dude....❤️❤️

31:36, Lolol...Clearer?..Clearer?? Ha! Before, I was ignorant...Now I'm all kinds of confused. Lolol
Interesting, though. I think i get what you were saying; I also think I now have a zillion new questions

One of the few people I could listen to for 3 hours solid. Such a treat, thank you for this.

Crows can interpret past and future actions.
Squid have such sophisticated thought for their extreamly short lifespan. If they lived 30, 50 years, they may understand algebra and Nichi...
Who's to say, some birds may know human nature far better than us and prefer not to show us the extent of their intelligence...
Humans are by nature, extremely arogant, short sited and stupid..., yes, scientists too, to a slightly lesser degree.
Humans only know a tiny sliver of the universe.

Tesla stated Edison was not a scientist, he was a confusionist . I would love to hear what he would say about you. Quantum Entanglement is the only 1 that I have actual experiment that proved it is real. I would love to pick your brain for a day. 1 day i can disprove most you have said .

[helicalactual]

do you believe the passage of existance is entropy? or expansion of the singularity? or do you believe in the field of time?

[jmanj]

1:15:00, No, we don't control the quantum behaviors of our particles. That doesn't mean that everything is deterministic. We also don't see any "redness" in the particles of an apple. Yet we see the red apple regardless, as a result of those particles. The "redness" is emergent. And, so it is with free will.

You will not understand consciousness in 10, 000 years or more. That is because I will never live again. You have had the answer for 30 years and just too unconscious to pay me.

MAN IS THE UNIVERSE BECOMING AWARE OF ITSELF ?

[josephmelotte]

can you explain what happens w time at the border of a black hole - why time is standing still there ?

7 There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All aspirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by bpurer eyes;
8 We cannot asee it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all bmatter.

It's a real honor to be able to ask a question directly to Brian Greene. I'm an interested viewer from the Netherlands and have been told that there are negative energy and negative mass involved in the flip of one of the directions of space with the direction of time in the ergo-sphere of spinning black holes. That made me wonder whether it would be realistic in the future to artificially create negative energy, since a ring of negative energy-density around us would be the only thing needed to produce a bubble in space-time - an Alcubierre drive - and travel without speed-limit? Thanks in advance!

I believe I shall leave the deep space-time subjects to the science community unless asked otherwise...:}
