Brian Greene

What type of time travel is in A Christmas Carol? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice answer fan questions on time travel, paradoxes, and wormholes with theoretical physicist, Brian Greene. Did Ebenezer Scrooge get pulled through a wormhole? NOTE: StarTalk+ Patrons can listen to this entire episode commercial-free here: https://startalkmedia.com/show/past-present-future-time-travel-with-brian-greene/Photo Credit: Ajaj1818, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of StarTalk Radio ad-free and a whole week early.Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting siriusxm.com/podcastsplus.

String theory was originally proposed as a relatively modest attempt to explain some features of strongly-interacting particles, but before too long developed into an ambitious attempt to unite all the forces of nature into a single theory. The great thing about physics is that your theories don’t always go where you want them to, and string theory has had some twists and turns along the way. One major challenge facing the theory is the fact that there are many different ways to connect the deep principles of the theory to the specifics of a four-dimensional world; all of these may actually exist out there in the world, in the form of a cosmological multiverse. Brian Greene is an accomplished string theorist as well as one of the world’s most successful popularizers and advocates for science. We talk about string theory, its cosmological puzzles and promises, and what the future might hold. (For more general string theory background, check out Episode 18 with Clifford Johnson.)

His research includes foundational work on topology change, mirror symmetry, and the compactification of extra dimensions. He is the author of several best-selling books, including The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos, both of which were made into TV specials for NOVA. He and Tracy Day are co-founders of the World Science Festival.

Theoretical physicist Brian Greene discusses singularity, string theory, and free will with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice. They explore time dilation for photons, the challenge of observing the universe, and the concept of energy in exothermic reactions.

Theoretical physicist Brian Greene joins Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice to discuss particles getting mass, Higgs boson, dark matter, and theories of particle physics. They explore supersymmetry, shadow particles, and the vacuum of space, touching on higher dimensions, dark energy, and the cosmological constant.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, comic co-host Chuck Nice, and theoretical physicist and author Brian Greene answer questions from our fans about string theory, the fabric of spacetime, interstellar travel, free will, and the meaning of life.NOTE: StarTalk+ Patrons can listen to this entire episode commercial-free here: https://startalkmedia.com/show/cosmic-queries-until-the-end-of-time-with-brian-greene-re-release/Thanks to our Patrons Jamie Boneleye, Evan Blackburn, Matthew Pounsett, Chris Behrensmeyer, and Brett Armstrong for supporting us this week.Image Credit: ESO/IDA/Danish 1.5 m/R.Gendler and J.-E.

Physicists discuss Oppenheimer's work on the Manhattan Project and the science in Christopher Nolan's film. They explore the portrayal of famous individuals in movies, the artistic elements of Oppenheimer, and the ethical dilemmas of nuclear research. Delving into bomb testing, uranium purification, and the historical context of atomic energy. Praising Nolan's film and diving into a conversation about opera with physicist Brian Greene.

Renowned physicist Brian Greene discusses the experimental relevance of string theory and the exploration of the multiverse. Topics include alternative paths to Einstein's equations, Calabi-Yau manifolds in string theory, faster-than-light signals, the role of scientists as educators, UFO sightings, and the likelihood of alien life.

Brian Greene, a renowned theoretical physicist and professor at Columbia University, explores profound concepts in his latest discussion. He delves into the connection between stars and life, contemplating humanity's existential questions. The conversation challenges conventional views on time, discussing whether it emerged with the Big Bang. Greene critiques misguided self-help ideologies while championing the power of visualization. The discussion touches on consciousness, digital immortality, and our species' future amidst the cosmos, inviting listeners to ponder their place in the universe.

Brian Greene, CSCO of HMTX Industries, joins the hosts to discuss Amazon's packaging efforts, Tyson Foods' insect protein partnership, and manufacturing trends. They cover sustainable packaging, unique food alternatives, and even touch on music inspiration, drumming influences, and global shipping challenges.

Professor Brian Greene discusses string theory, mirror symmetry, and the Hydron Collider. He explores the accessibility of theoretical physics, the source of innovative ideas, and psychedelic experiences. Delving into particle colliders, Higgs boson, and human nature, he questions the construct of reality and quantum entanglement.
