Episode notes
Brian Greene's World Science Festival
- Brian Greene started the World Science Festival in 2008 and it has grown internationally.
- The festival blends science with arts and culture, including events in Australia and Europe.
Mystery of Black Hole Singularities
- The physics of black hole singularities remain unknown to everyone on Earth.
- Theories like fuzzballs suggest black holes may lack singularities, but this is unproven.
Planck and Quantum Mechanics birth
- Max Planck resolved the ultraviolet catastrophe by introducing quantized energy packets.
- This concept led to quantum mechanics, radically changing physics at the century's start.
