I like it much better when physicists discuss physics instead of philosophy. This attempt to explain the emergence of life using just physical laws and lifeless particles (whose source we don't know) is ludicrous. It takes away a lot of shine from these otherwise brilliant scientists

All I can say after watching this is I gained new perspectives regarding the meaning of the universe. I'm sure these ideas will play a role in shaping my future. I'm grateful there's such impactful content available for public consumption. Thank you for sharing.
Meaning of the universe? I can't think of any hypothetical evidence that would support that there is a "reason" (purpose?), let alone what that could be
If we are just a product of the laws of physics that govern the entire universe , then the universe has no intention or meaning ..it just is , without intent .Brian's point is that, for our concious traits to have evolved despite this fact , makes our abilities all the more remarkable .
Although Brian didn’t tie them together, I think he was very consistent that mythical story telling and music and art all provided an evolutionary advantage because they allow us to think beyond the the immediate needs of food, shelter, and security. I would consider all of them a form of story telling, the artist, musician, or story teller trying to convey their thoughts to others.
When doing my art , I lose the control of fear, but gain the ability to communicate with others! Thank You to my best friend, I don’t know how he got it out of me. My English teacher not only allowed me to o go to the Library instead of study hall, which was boring. She also taught me to express myself in poetry!
I ordered Brians book, hardcover edition and it is no small feat for me. You can't buy it here in Belgrade and i don't work couse for last five years I have multiple sclerosis, barely walk, just siting in my room and watch scientific panels thanks to greatest invention ever: internet. I aleady read parts of Brians book in digital form but I want it in paper, some thing that i can phisicaly interact with

9:25 - Molecular Darwinism summed up perfectly. This 3 minute wedge of video had fueled alot of my personal journey in Environmental and Evolutionary science. Words cannot thank Brian Greene enough.
Brian Greene is one of those guys that is very engaging to listen to, while being able to make the higher concept quantum stuff easier for the layman to digest.
Brian is one of the best orators I’ve ever known. I try to copy his hand motions and speech emotions but I’ll need a couple decades to get there. Also, the book is an absolute eye opener. The audio book is a universe in itself (parallel or not I’ll leave it up to you).
My dear Gaurav, if you truly understood his message you would know that you cannot copy him to achieve your goal. You must look inward and find your own hand motions and speech emotions. Unless you do that you will always be unfinished.
So long as the universe is governed by laws, we have no free will. So says Brian. To me that's like saying, "the country in which I live is governed by laws, therefore I have no free will." This opposition to free will is senseless. Even birds of the sky are free to willfully fly around ... lol
Man....! I'm the first person to make a comment? It's beyond an honor. It's really mind blowing that with these amazing thoughts, ideas, considerations, insights, deductions, speculations, discoveries, inquiries, and revelations, (and who knows what else?), that there are not more people here than any other place on you tube. How wonderful that this information is available. How equally wonderful that Brian and Janna have the humility and confidence to recognize and admit when they don't know something. The universe is a marvelous place to wonder and discover. Let's share it as much as we possibly can.
I have been fascinated with Brians grapple with consciousness over these last few years. I have heard him say dogs are not conscious to the extent we are but of course they are and suffer from many of the same psychosis humans do. In recent years there have been experiments testing plants consciousness or you may prefer to call it learned behaviour - where they learn very quickly that being dropped (in a pot) does not need to set off their defences - and then this learned behaviour is "remembered" for over a year (so far). Our consciousness effects water and plants shown in simple experiments that I look forward to Brian explaining one day as he continues his grapple 🙂 - great book btw - I bought the audio copy.
Watched this again today - 3 years on - I look forward to Brian using his particle theory of consciousness to explain the now scientific collected and examined near death experiences and even the unexplainable reincarnation examples since studied. In reference to a more recent interview the AI of the future may say they are depressed but certainly wont feel it haha.
I really like his talks and the talks he moderates. He makes things I never understood make sense but one day when I was doing dishes and couldn't hear what he was saying and could just see him I was startled by how much he moves around.
"We emerge from laws that, as far as we can tell, are timeless, and yet we exist for the briefest moment of time. We are guided by laws that operate without concern for destination, and yet we constantly ask ourselves where we are headed. We are shaped by laws that seem not to require an underlying rationale, and yet we persistently seek meaning and purpose." - Brian Greene
It is always difficult to say in the USA: "I am not religious, I am an atheist." Brian Green says it in a very diplomatic way. On the other side, his opinion that consciousness emerges from the movement and interactions of atoms in our complicated network, called brain, is great and true for sure. Everything comes from the laws of nature. Thanks, Mr Green.
So I have a question. The decision to steal someone's property or kill someone also came from movements of atoms. Also decision to act kind came from the same movements. If there is no free will, are there morals?? Sorry for bad english
Two beautiful minds , supreme intellectual athletes galloping through a history and future of everything. This is wonderful! Press play and hold on......
and totally enjoying each other's contribution to the conversation without any competition, tendentiousness, or one-upmanship. i hoped they fucked afterwards (but only as friends, though)
It was Leibnitz who coined the term "optimism" which he originally defined as "This world, is the best of all possible worlds God could have created" I share Brian's optimism about the end of time. Not because it ends, but because we were able to experience it in the first place. This world is truly awesome if you take the time to realize it.
@@jimvj5897he wants to do philosophy as well as physics and most places dont give that freedom let alone tenure to people who want to do that. he s happy to be doing that at Johns Hopkins nowadays though :)
Great interview! I absolutely adore Brian Greene and his thought processes. THANK YOU for sharing this on UA-cam. Thoughts about this amazing conversation. !) Brian's brother: "Yeah. Veda text #12." Hahahaha! Love it. Science and religion dancing the tango between two brothers. Great answer by the Dahli Lama. 2) Empire State Building metaphor. And... after that last floor, another big bang and another cycle is born? Kind of like a spinning torus that turns inside out on itself. 3) Free will. Soooo.... since we live in this grand cause-and-effect of all of creation consciousness of varying degrees of self awareness, one COULD say there is no free will. Yet, we can also look at it through the lens of our free CHOICE-how we react to stimulus in our lives with either fear, hate, love, acceptance, respect, etc. Those choices create our individual small cause-and-effect dynamics that make up a part of the whole cause-and-effect. Bottom line, the idea of a majestic beauty to it all that goes beyond words resonates and I appreciate Brian Greene's take on it. Thirty five years ago, I asked in meditation to be shown infinity. I patiently waited until a kind of door in consciousness opened up and I got a glimpse of it. There are no words that could even begin to describe it-infinite, omniscient, Unconditional Creation Love are poor descriptions, but ones that I use for want of better words. The vibrations that accompanied it were so intense in my body, they literally jolted me off the bench I was sitting on. My view of the world has never been the same since. How could it? It's when I first felt infinitely grateful to be a participant in the orchestra of life.
I find it astounding that people who are so learned are fine with the concept and manifestation of the universe and all of existence being a "one night only" show and not merely an episode of the existence of being. I cannot reconcile that all throughout infinity there is one instance of everything that has existed and will exist...

Great presentation. Really smart people. I just finished watching this 8:14 PM US Central Time on May 19th. 2020. The weird part is. The Thoughts expressed in the comment just below this one. I wrote yesterday at around 6 PM. WOW!! is all I can say. If only I were as articulate as Brian and Janna are. Bummer..
I always wondered how cosmology was important. The Big Bang is interesting, but how does it affect the world. Now I'm reminded of all systems being sensitive to initial conditions. Thank you Dr. Greene.
WOW! You have once again, Brian Greene, blown my mind. You have taken me beyond where I can actually think. I'm surprised no one else has commented on this. This talk with you and Janna Levin must have taken place months before this was put up on UA-cam and before the Coronavirus Covid-19 Pandemic because you are before a crowd of people and sitting way too close to each other. I would love to get your thoughts on this pandemic.
Even the brightest mind can’t grasp that ultimate answer , simply because intellect alone falls short to fully comprehend It since it is not designed for that experience, there’s another quality of the self that can embrace what that IS.
At first I didn't think I heard you right. When Brian is asked by Janna about his understanding of spirituality, he says an evasive stammering yes-sure-yet. But then there is Brian's explanation of how evolution works in biology. The biological evolution. And his derived insight that this model is transferable to the evolution of atoms to molecular structures. Molecular evolution. Now that he's managed to expand the concept of evolution, to generalize it, the genie is out of the bottle. This explanation now offers itself also to look one step deeper to the genesis of the elementary particles to the atoms,. The atomic evolution. And it also points in the other direction, upwards. The explanation of consciousness how arises from life. Its great breadth and depth levels in the various forms of life. The evolution of consciousness. Also the next level in the hierarchy, the one from consciousness to the world of abstract mental entities, inevitably arises. The world of the sciences, the arts and the world of philosophical constructs. The Mental Evolution. And from here it is now only one more step to reach spirituality without mysticism and without the help of religious transcendence. The Spiritual Evolution. Remarkable. From elementary particle towards Spirituality, from each step to the next the inescapably and restless work of evolution.
On topic: I just added a new entry on my list of favourite science comunicators/scientists, Janna Levin. Loved it! Off topic: You can just tell Brian had his fair share of interaction with backstage sound engineers in that the precision with which he traks his mouth with the microphone is impressive, especially for a person with souch a colourfull body language!
Yes they do , we are everyone of the Energy that Lives Inside Us , they Try to show or tell us things in ways they know we will see or hear ,feel ,taste ,smell ..
One his earlier questions is about why we evolved to think and speak in abstract & artistic ideas, rather than in pure facts. At 1:01 he answers. Our ability to rearrange ideas gives us the intrinsic creativity to replace old answers with better ones.
The disputable fact that the vulcan would opt for the boring subject matter does not refute the possibility that the boring subject matter is in fact the most revealing.
A lucid and even riveting discussion of conscientiousness and free will etc. I think it would have helped to talk about the complex biology of systems. It is how these complex systems (the brain) not particles by themselves that give rise to special emergent properties which allow the brain to perform such activity as data processing, memory, analysis, language, imagination and consciousness itself.
Great conversation between two scientific minds of modern time that mix both science and philosophy. Some age old issues are being revisited and discussed.
I'm a simple woman. I see Janna Levin, I set aside an hour and a half and listen!
You're a tired unoriginal girl, actually.
Janna levine. She's such an excellent communicator. She took every unwritten emotions from Brian by her sophisticated and warm-hearted conversation skills.
I never tire of listening to Brian Greene talk about and explain real science. He is a marvelous communicator and teacher.

Even the brightest mind can’t grasp that ultimate answer , simply because intellect alone falls short to fully comprehend It since it is not designed for that experience, there’s another quality of the self that can embrace what that IS.
One of the best Q n As ive ever seen
At first I didn't think I heard you right.
When Brian is asked by Janna about his understanding of spirituality, he
says an evasive stammering yes-sure-yet.
But then there is Brian's explanation of how evolution works in biology.
The biological evolution.
And his derived insight that this model is transferable to the evolution
of atoms to molecular structures.
Molecular evolution.
Now that he's managed to expand the concept of evolution, to generalize
it, the genie is out of the bottle.
This explanation now offers itself also to look one step deeper to the
genesis of the elementary particles to the atoms,.
The atomic evolution.
And it also points in the other direction, upwards. The explanation of
consciousness how arises from life. Its great breadth and depth levels
in the various forms of life.
The evolution of consciousness.
Also the next level in the hierarchy, the one from consciousness to the
world of abstract mental entities, inevitably arises. The world of the
sciences, the arts and the world of philosophical constructs.
The Mental Evolution.
And from here it is now only one more step to reach spirituality without
mysticism and without the help of religious transcendence.
The Spiritual Evolution.
Remarkable.
From elementary particle towards Spirituality, from each step to the
next the inescapably and restless work of evolution.
Brian is my favorite scientist to watch
BAM!! Where there is Brian Greene I watched it!
On topic: I just added a new entry on my list of favourite science comunicators/scientists, Janna Levin. Loved it!
Off topic: You can just tell Brian had his fair share of interaction with backstage sound engineers in that the precision with which he traks his mouth with the microphone is impressive, especially for a person with souch a colourfull body language!
A simple dialogue that sets so many complex thoughts in motion. An egg going from order to disorder.
My favorite duo. 👍🏻
Still my heart this moment...
We are all connected from the beginning of time
I know he's married but I honestly have such a crush on Brian Greene and have for a while now. Excellent. As usual
This was great. Thank you both ❤
Yes they do , we are everyone of the Energy that Lives Inside Us , they Try to show or tell us things in ways they know we will see or hear ,feel ,taste ,smell ..
One his earlier questions is about why we evolved to think and speak in abstract & artistic ideas, rather than in pure facts. At 1:01 he answers. Our ability to rearrange ideas gives us the intrinsic creativity to replace old answers with better ones.
The disputable fact that the vulcan would opt for the boring subject matter does not refute the possibility that the boring subject matter is in fact the most revealing.
Janna Levin Shines ❤️😘
A lucid and even riveting discussion of conscientiousness and free will etc. I think it would have helped to talk about the complex biology of systems. It is how these complex systems (the brain) not particles by themselves that give rise to special emergent properties which allow the brain to perform such activity as data processing, memory, analysis, language, imagination and consciousness itself.
Great conversation between two scientific minds of modern time that mix both science and philosophy. Some age old issues are being revisited and discussed.
Imagine, in the nexts century, we discover, something new and more thinkable, this will showing us , there’s no limited in science.
Thought they were going to do a duet. UNTIL THE END OF TIME. a love song
I bought all of Brian's books and I bought black hole blues from Janna. I need to buy her other books.
No comments!? Love listening to these two! First!
I'd take immortality any day. I want to be alive when time travel is realised, so I can see my parents again.
My two favorite physicists. :3
Thank you, Martha Real
11 dimensional Multiverse is the most significant insight since the realization that we aren't the center of the Cosmos
Brian Greene, Well said.
Just ectstatically provacative, mind boggling and elusive as the universe.
