I have read Brian Greene's books: The Elegant Universe", "The Fabric of the Cosmos", and most recently "Until the End of Time". What a brilliant and engaging author. He is so talented at making theoretical astrophysics, Einsteins Theory of Relativity ,quantum mechanics, the space time continuum, string theory, etc more understandable to the lay person. Thank you Brian Greene for sharing your genius with us with such skill, passion, eloquence and humility.
U live in a Holographic Universe.
Your atoms are mostly space.
U are mostly WATER H2O.
WATER is mostly SPACE.
THEREFORE, U are mostly SPACE w/ CONSCIOUSNESS.
The smallest part of matter, the strings,
are compared to SOUND, SOUND-WAVES, QUANTUM Sound.
{Mostly SPACE+quantum SOUND+ consciousness=Holographic Man}
Arms&Legs like Christ Jesus, yet mostly SPACEw/CONSCIOUSNESS like the HOLY SPIRIT{ONE FIELD of Consciousness}
Father is pure LOVE,
You are pure potential for housing love,
One God of LOVE,
One Field of CONSCIOUSNESS,
One omniconscious mind.
Father in Heaven, connected to the soul/son of Father God via the ONE FIELD of CONSCIOUSNESS {HolySpirit}.
Made in the image of God.
Smallest part of MATTER is compared to Sound, 🎶🎵 &
DNA is a superLANGUAGE that follows the RULES(syntax)of a spoken language.
GOD CREATED BY SPEAKING,
GOD SAID,
GOD SPOKE,
GOD CALLED,
GOD COMMANDED the Holographic Universe!
YOU are a Hologram!{NewScientist}
Being HOLOGRAPHIC makes a literal SIX DAY CREATION MORE PLAUSIBLE BECAUSE GOD COULD HAVE CREATED ALL INSTANTANEOUSLY, but GOD laid-out a SEVEN DAY WEEK.
You made in the image of God also create by SPEAKING, what you SAY MATTERS!!! So you must say what it is that you want! Yet most people say what they DO NOT WANT...creating what they do not want in their lives because "WHEN YOU SPEAK IT MATTERS!"
The Holy WORD of God repeatedly teaches us to GUARD YOUR WORDS!
@@easandov You Ed, are invoking mythology and alternative pseudoscience when you start bringing holy ghosts, holy spirits, supernatural mythical deities, talking snakes and donkeys, virgin births, 969 year old men, sky daddies, immortality into this brilliant SCIENTIFIC conversation. What's up with that dude? Leave it to one of you con artist preachers types to always invade a forum with pure ignorance and an agenda.
@@easandov You are incorrect. Read the first chapter of Brian Greene's new book "Until the End of TIme".
I can't think of one leading scientist of today, that is not agnostic/atheist. I am going to send you a letter written by Albert Einstein to friend of his. The superior cognitive intelligences do not advocate mythological la la land thinking, no matter how comforting it might be. It is documented that atheists generally have a higher IQ. And if you don't understand why, just talk to the average religious person about science and reality, and you will usually find extreme ignorance, and a very strong preoccupation with pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, supernatural phenomena, eternal bliss vs torture, and such simple minded clap trap.
Excerpts from a letter written by Albert Einstein to Eric Gutkind from Princeton in January 1954, translated from German by Joan Stambaugh. It will be sold at Bloomsbury auctions on Thursday
"... I read a great deal in the last days of your book, and thank you very much for sending it to me. What especially struck me about it was this. With regard to the factual attitude to life and to the human community we have a great deal in common.
... The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. These subtilised interpretations are highly manifold according to their nature and have almost nothing to do with the original text. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them".
Einstein letter continued:
"In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew the priviliege of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision, probably as the first one.
(Spinoza believed that God is “the sum of the natural and physical laws of the universe and certainly not an individual entity or creator”. ... Therefore, God is just the sum of all the substances of the universe. God is the only substance in the universe, and everything is a part of God.)
And the animistic interpretations of the religions of nature are in principle not annulled by monopolisation. With such walls we can only attain a certain self-deception, but our moral efforts are not furthered by them. On the contrary.
Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, ie in our evalutations of human behaviour. What separates us are only intellectual 'props' and 'rationalisation' in Freud's language. Therefore I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things. With friendly thanks and best wishes
Yours, A. Einstein"
I got one thing in my mind now. I just wanna meet Dr. Brian Greene in person before I die and say thank you. Thank him for all the knowledge he has given to us.
This is the guy who literally gave me the sense of real thinking and beleive in what really matters
Like genius
Thank you prof.Brian green

28:15, I'm re-watching, again, still from the USA. IDK how many times I've watched your various videos. Somehow, it seems that I've learned something new, or gained a different perspective, or something else, or some combination of these things just about every single time.
It very well might be literally every time, but I prefer to avoid definite language in most circumstances.
As such, Doc, I have to let you know that, to me at least, these outcomes are an excellent indicator of an outstanding teacher. So;
Thank you, Professor Greene!
So very glad you're back with us. Thank you. I, for one, would not have survived the pandemic still sane without this series. I play one episode daily and enjoy sharing them with friends and colleagues. Thanks again to all.
Good morning
A topic that Brian Greene broaches in his recent book "Until the End of Time" that I was so thankful for, was existential issues regarding death for those who do not believe in an afterlife. He described his process and stages of coming to terms with this in chapter 1: The Lure of Eternity: Beginnings, Endings, and Beyond. Facing your own permanent cessation of existence, can be one of the most difficult things for the ego to transition through the stages of grieving and reach acceptance of. It was so comforting, validating, and needed, to hear his analysis of this topic that those of us who do not believe in an afterlife, or immortality and subsequently struggle to come to grips with as described in Earnest Becker's "The Denial of Death'". Thank you Brian for expanding, enriching, and soothing my outlook on life, death, and reality of the universe. My respect and admiration toward you is boundless.......and I too am vegan for ethical reasons.
Glad to see Professor Brian back on WSF Live. Excited for Upcoming events❤️
When will the next festival be held?
@@brandonwashington4422 i don't know either
Love from Dublin Brian.
You are a credit to your field.
WE LOVE Doctor Brian Greene! ♥♥♥
So clear, so well articulated, so much knowledge. A pleasure to listen to your lectures. And on top of that, you are vegan. You have all my respect Profesor Greene.

Thank you from 🇮🇹 Professor Greene! "Until the end of time" is a fantastic book, I am reading it well.... although slowly!
Thank you for your courage to speak out against the mendacious evil in our world!
Agreed.
what mendacious evil?
We need more Q&A with Brian!
OMG wow OMG wow You are back!!! I have missed these sessions so much I have been feeding on the older shows which are all amazing
Thank you for making my day and I am very excited to watch all the world science shows this summer
Thank you Doc and enjoy your summer too 👍
Hi Brian. Thank you for all your amazing work - I have learnt so much! Joan Nagase, Manchester, England.
Rest in peace Steven Weinberg.
He was one of the greatest physicist of this era. We will miss him.

Great to know you are doing a series on the question of wether math is invented or discovered , I asked this question(which you were kind enough to answer)during the first q and a one year ago! Your work is very inspiring!
Seen proffessor live after a lot of time...glad to see you professor
Thanks Brian!! I missed these.
Thanks for this! Can’t wait for next week!
We missed you thanks mr Brian Greene 👍
SUCH a relief to see a new video today..was getting worried whats been going on. its been too long, been missing Brians voice and teaching. glad to see and hear what you've been up to lately
Thank you. It is so important to me that you keep doing those talk and I hope you'll be soon able to do it front of a public again. Thank's to you so much. I've met that variety of scientific and thinkers and all your work enrich my life and tune in my ability to perceive the world we live in, in a more positive and exiting way. Your time and generosity in the way you share it. And you makes it accessible on purpose. By your time and work you give love and, so I wanted to give you back some love in appreciation I have for you. You are great.
I love honesty it makes me so happy, thank you for the beautiful pictures of space from their galaxy's uniqueness
Dear Brian, You are one of the best scientists + great lecturer. I enjoy your explanations of physical subjects very much: good examples, simplified language and intelligent humor. Thank you! It would be great if one of your presentations would cover the "known unknowns" in physical sciences - I mean particular unsolved problems and discrepancies between theory and experiments. Such a collection/system of critical "unknowns" usually helps me to find something in common between seemingly unrelated issues. It also helps to pose right questions and induces new ideas. Be healthy!
Brian ,
I have read your latest book and listened almost everything you have made public over the past few years. I am a super fan…
It may surprise you to know that I am a strong God fearing conservative. I like many like me have no problem believing in intelligent design and science. I say this because not all of us are anti science.
Watch them all ,from start to finish!
I wish you could do a few live WSF programs in Bangalore, India. It would be great to see you live.
I just want you to tell you that I respect you always, you r a good person and a brilliant physicist
Professor Mr Greene, you are something special, I love your feedback thoughts and comments 😊. I do my best to understand. Thanks for your open mindedness.
Thank you for this great Q&A Dr. Greene; connecting from Canada. Your mention of quantum biology with the song birds is fascinating.
Brain you explain things so well, so far your my favourite go to science guy along with Neal D Tryson! Thanks for your videos 👏
I have always enjoyed your presentations. After having seen this I now have even more appreciation for you as a person.
Keep up the good work.
If I was only getting my notifications on time I would have been joined in.
I absolutely love WSF videos … i know nothing about any of it haha But it is fascinating!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE - Thank You - All the way from Little old New Zealand :)
Thank you Dr. Greene.
I really enjoyed the conversation!
thank you
Shaun from Gold Coast, Australia. Looking forward to watching the upcoming science festival presentations together with my children.
My friend have ur self a wonderful day
Yes i got that, for me life is so beautiful, just forget hate instead try life to always great full
Very happy you are back.
You are an incredible human being, Professor
It is excellent and inspiring !
Hi World Science Festival, thanks for the great videos. Small request: would it be hard to display the question submitted and the user’s social somewhere on the video in the future?
Wow what an idea! I am from India and feel blessed to see the word science festival series even if it's later. Brian Green you are so original. Simply love this
Sir, we talk of singularity , big bang hypothesis and inflation theory. Do we have any kind of probable explanation why this sigularity as it is being explained ? From where did this pop up ? What's prior to this? ....
thank you mate for this, you got me thru the lockdown :D
Yes together with sir tyson
Those green screen effects look amazing!!
Love your channel, Ian in ireland
Just bought your book "Until the End of Time" on Audible. Thanks for mentioning it on this podcast Brian! ps. Looking forward to the new set of videos this channel will soon be releasing to all us science lovers ✨
Good day
Great content
That sure did sound like a challenge was called out. Did Dr Loeb reply, Prof Greene?
That was great.
Still waiting for the first wsf upload on maths invented or discovered. Week is up 😄
Brian fascinates me how you talk, formulate thoughts and resist when you talk about a topic to Ideas that are pop's up like big bang in your mind but clearly visible in your eyes 😉 every honor, master of communication. I have a hard time because I wander in almost every letter, let alone words or sentences, when I meet them in my own thoughts about a problem, and especially when I try to explain it to someone. That's a big problem for me. Can you explain and help me in more detail, or better yet, how do you solve it in your brain to communicate with the general public in such an elegant way today !? Or is it simply your gift from God?
Thank you.great discousion .vary refreshing.and uplifting.from a state that I'm in thank you to all your lisnner the planets new adults.starseeds. thank you for making it better for all
Seems absolutely beautiful where Brian streams from.
So kind to share time.
And be kind to all kinds. Team VEGAN
Brilliant physicist, kind human 🐮
good stories teller
Most of all because of respect to my values,
Thanks!
Brilliant book. please read it

Greetings from Finland, south easter part of gulf of finland, your backround there looks lot like my summer cabin yard minus the sea
Good to hear Prof greene say there is no consensus about the jets emanating from black holes. I have heard other scientists speak as if all science is settled on what they are and what causes them. I accepted their explanations because they spoke with such authority but always had my doubts mainly because nothing is supposed to escape from a black hole because of its gravity so how could these jets come out of them? Will have to check them out further.
I have a question about how galaxies, stars and planets are spinning in what direction from the universe. Accordingly from some articles, our earth probably started to spin from dusk and cloud from the sun (CCW), but Venus and Uranus are really spinning from different way (CW). Are these two planets affected in same solar system (same cloud and dust), even some theories said Venus and Uranus were hit by other objects and changed their spinning direction? Also how things have been rotating after big bang?
A question Brian. The gravitational wave created by merger of blackholes and other mergers detected by ligo... won't these waves hit other objects in space and create compounded waves?
iTS EFFECT ON OTHER PLANETS (FAR AWAY) IS NEGLIGIBLE
Well Brian ..Is Wittens 4 mins at Strings"the I dont Know ..a confirmation for the path away from the field ..or are you going to default to the Cat is alive and dead...
Professor,How do I teach myself mathematics during lockdown ? The libraries are closed and I can’t get any books for now.If you recommend online courses, What online courses should I do?
How can you still be in lockdown? I live in Seattle and for the past month or more the city has reopened and masks are even an option. Most of us have been vaccinated and the world appears to be getting back to normal.
Your post reminds me of a year ago!
Washington’s Governor made masks mandatory from the beginning and now the world is returning to normalcy!
@@benwarner3498 Wow your lucky!I guess south african sucks.Well,It does.
@@benwarner3498 Vaccines have not come near south africa,because the country is poor
Definitely
Yes i got u, but i set aside all , first a just want to feel free together with my family specially with my mom
Tha important is do what you want aslong you don’t give a problem to others. Do good to feel better
Prof. Brian, How could you respond to the paradoxes of special relativity proposed by the article "The Ultimate Sophistication of Special Theory of Relativity" published in IJFPS
Hi I am sriram from india from 6th grade and i have a doubt. albert einstien told that a small amount mass can be converted to a large amount of energy so if this is true
then the mass is converted to energy in space with no planets , galaxies , stars etc then what will the energy act on then the energy from the mass is zero untill it acts on something ? . is it true
Professor, What would you recommend to teach myself Maths during lockdown?I can’t go to the library so At this moment I can’t get any books.And if you would recommend online courses what courses should I take?

I like String Theory because it provides the simplest explanation.
Last time you were streaming it was winter ❄️ behind you
Hi professor Greene, I would like to know if you think it’s plausible to think black holes could maybe create multiverse bubbles, in which all the information and matter that’s gone out of our universe, could create another part of the universe/multiverse of which we cannot see or detect? Maybe quantum entanglement and string theory plays part in it too but idk tbh 🤷🏻♂️ It makes sense to me as to where and what’s happening to everything going into the black hole once it had evaporated and seemingly disappeared.
Or could somebody educated in in this field answer this question for me please because it does make a lot of sense to me, however I’m not educated enough to maybe grasp what I’m talking about and I would really appreciate someone answering my question 🙏
Watching from Liverpool England, I love all your work professor Greene, it’s all Intriguing stuff 🧐 so good to see you back!
35:17, Idk, Doc. The first thing I would ask is, "Can we determine from where came the energy and the information which were required to reassemble the wine glass?"
And, of course, it would apply to any liquid that might have spilled in the process, as well.
Which means that it would have to apply to every single particle, wave, and wavefunction in the universe, since they are all "tied together" and they all can all have an effect on each other, even if it is an infinitesimal effect.
Finally, all of the above makes me wonder if we could even survive any potential event like this, as the energy would be astronomical (pun shamelessly intended).
(Tangential Question)
But that makes me wonder: Just how much energy and how much spacetime would be required in order for "this universe", per its original, non-Everettian meaning, to "remember" the previous configuration of every single wavefunction of every single particle at that specific spacetime event?
(Another Tangential Question):
Also, wouldn't the answer to my latter question be similar to the anti-Simulation Hypothesis argument along the lines that, "It would take a universe the size of the universe to be able to simulate the universe"?
(Yet Another Tangential Question)
Would the liquid require more or less information and energy, all else being equal, in order to put every single atom and subatomic particle back precisely as it had been in the past, as compared to the (basically) solid glass?
My point is that perhaps, if it didn't kill us, when that or a similar event would occur, maybe we would be able to observe the sources of the energy and the information on how to structure every single Planck volume, and we might see that, overall, the entropy of the universe after this event somehow increased despite the reconfiguration of the glass and its contents.
Yes, drinking less would do you good. ;-)
Question. When 2 stars collide and produce a gravitational wave and that wave then collides with another wave, what is predicted to happen to the wave and gravity at that intersection? I am an elementary art teacher wanting to share the answer with 10 yr old students at Southwind Elem. in Memphis, TN.
Aww, 10 year old are asking questions like that? That's amazing
Without Language, there is nothing.
Yes, I read Paul Steinhardt's book "Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang". It is indeed a fascinating alternative theory that he presents.

I tell people your the Einstein of our time.
Prof Ashok Kanetkar, India Hi Professor Greene, As far as I understand Prof. Einstein showed that Gravity is the result of the distortion of the SpaceTime by heavy objects rather than a Force which acts instantaneously at great distances as envisioned by Sir Isaac Newton, then why are the scientists trying to quantise Gravity which is not a force akin to say the electro-magnetic force? How can you envision a Graviton when gravity is not really a force or is it?
about time you sexy brained man. good to have you back. hi from İzmir, Turkey
Susanna from Lima Peru. What are the latest discoveries on String Theory?
Well expressed, Brian Greene, the enormous defense budget, could it not be use it more productively?
Can we, then, modulate, filter and phase-shift gravity waves like we do other electromagnetic waves?
Yes, but it is extremely expensive. ;-)

with all due respect sir, can you explain electro-gravitic control devices to me sense you really are pretty darn smart I'd love your input on it?
Odd temperature pockets in the MBR can also be evidence of black holes that existed at the end of the universe that came before ours big banged onto the scene.
There are lots of possibilities and theories that do not require a simultaneous multiversal existence to explain.
