Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter and Meaning

[@woodygilson3465]

One of the best science communicators of our time.

[@kenadams5504]

I see him as a translator .He knows about scientific ideas that the layperson is unaware of.But he generously translates those ideas into a language for all of us to understand .

[@Rain-Dirt]

After hearing him talk several times I feel Brian Greene is someone you just can't do anything else but feel respect for.

[@groba50]

Absolutely, and he has a great last name. 💯😂

[@rushnande3731]

I totally agree, it's so nice to listen to him talk every once in a while I go back to that interview he had with Joe Rogan. I haven't found anyone who's as articulate as him. He's really gifted with the ability to make everyone listen to him when he talks. Pardon my English

[@Rain-Dirt]

@@rushnande3731 Greene is very articulate indeed, but more important to me, he's very honest, neutral and "us" (human) without arrogance, without any hate, without divisive speech.

[@greenteapeng_]

Brian Greene is incredible but can we take a moment to acknowledge what a wonderful, humorous, engaging, knowledgeable, and polite host Faith Salie is ❤️❤️

[@peterparahuz7094]

51:13 not sure about polite

[@Jay-ft3xh]

Yes very average indeed.

[@codezero7437]

She represented the everyday person. However, if you listened to Brian, he was flying and not walking

[@unitedstatesof]

This must be Faith’s KZbin account

[@greenteapeng_]

Damn, you guys are so bitter lol. I really enjoyed this conversation which took place between these two people so I acknowledged them both. Going out of your way to insult her says more about you than her

[@kathyorourke9273]

This man has not lost ANY of his enthusiasm about the universe.

[@DeusExHomeboy]

Like he said, he has no choice lol

[@Kalkinan]

Still, poor guy gets invited to this!

[@smlanka4u]

Research showed that Black Holes grow even without absorbing ordinary matter. Therefore, the universe will not end, and a Big Bounce can happen.

[@smlanka4u]

JWST discovered galaxies older than the Big Bang.

[@CandidDate]

Brian Greene hasn't either.

[@longlostkryptonian5797]

I wouldn’t have believed I could respect and appreciate another person I’ve never met as much as I do this man. What a unique grouping of molecules he is!

[@ByteGeniusW]

He is Wonderful! 😀

[@Synky]

Truly a fantastic set of atoms!

[@dismalthoughts]

Those molecules are Brianing, and they're doing it famously.

[@samirsaha2163]

A conversation like this on a Saturday evening in Stockholm is no less than a cosmic blessing! Thanks, Faith, and thanks, Brian!

[@alvinedison7622]

Brian is so articulate. Not 1 wasted word. He's great. Host did an awesome job. Funny and quick-witted too.

[@metrologe]

articulate , yes! true, maybe, I seriously doubt. He makes HIS points very convincing

[@kaulickmitra6898]

Each World Science Festival episode is nothing less than a blessing.

[@NashPotatoesOutdoorShow]

I totally agree. I just recently discovered it and I love it so far!!

[@Caicedo685]

Greene is so good and Faith, you really got him going. Brilliant conversation

[@victorjcano]

We are so incredibly fortunate these days, to be able to listen to some of the brightest. Most enlightened scientific minds brought to us on KZbin . People like Brian and Sean, Carrol, and Richard Dawkins, in so many more. This kind of information was not really available before the Internet insights like KZbin. I really enjoy this kind of program.

[@stussymishka]

Brian green is the absolute best at helping regular people understand deep physics topics. He knows how to explain without dumbing it down. Genius.

[@markoszouganelis5755]

Thank you World Science Festival! 🌈

[@ReverendDr.Thomas]

Respected British anthropology professor, Dr. Edward Dutton, has demonstrated that “LEFTISM” is due to genetic mutations caused by poor breeding strategies. 🤡 To put it simply, in recent decades, those persons who exhibit leftist traits such as egalitarianism, feminism, gynocentrism, socialism, multiculturalism, transvestism, homosexuality, perverse morality, and laziness, have been reproducing at rates far exceeding the previous norm, leading to an explosion of insane, narcissistic SOCIOPATHS in (mostly) Western societies.

Excellent interview. I always learn new stuff from hearing Brian. He is a fantastic educator. Tremendous Faith and Brian for good 60 minutes.

[@ahmadkoopal3120]

A wonderful program for getting to know a different side of a great mind in a great man called Brian Green. 💗

[@donazia]

With deep Gratitude for the inspiration, Wisdom & Light that was embraced by this moving presentation.

[@CocoaBeachLiving]

Brian talks about the romance of math, I only wish I had his experience. I had the opposite experience, math was torture, punishment, etc.. and therefore unpleasant. Yet I always knew in my gut that mathematics was clearly amazingly useful for our lives. So I'm super glad math nerds are with us! Thanks to those who really get it and share their expertise so we can have the chance for survival.

[@j.k.d.126]

Very True!!

[@mokujin29]

Perhaps because he was not taught but took self interest

[@issyjas3309]

A lot of it depends on your maths teachers, i had one good maths teacher in all my schooling. Enthusiastic teachers can make or break an education. I had two amazing history teachers and that’s what I concentrated on .

[@anonysable]

So well said!

[@CocoaBeachLiving]

@@issyjas3309 Agreed. My first algebra teacher taught with insults and shame. And the others weren't that much better. Nevertheless, I am glad they're math teachers that do inspire and motivate their students. I only wonder how I'd feel about mathematics now if I had been introduced to math by different teachers.

[@antisymmetric237]

I love the way Bryan Greene explains the complexity of our universe in a easy to understand phrases. You are the best!

[@ashafaghi]

Thank you Faith for the excellent conversation with a wonderful humanist and scientist Brian Greene who generously share his vast knowledge and understanding of the physical phenomena with people 🙏🏽🌺🌺🌺

[@keirawillow]

These topics and exploration of the universe bring me a joy that nothing else can. I only wish I had friends who enjoy the same intellectual debates as I do so we can share our rambles and thoughts as we talk through the night.

[@tobaidi]

Growing up, I Never had somebody to look up to but Brian Green has become one of very few select that I do listen to and appreciate. I was lucky enough to ask him a question in Sydney two months back and it was an honour to do so. Thank you for keeping me interested in science and space. Your influence has made its way to the philosophy that I have been adopting while doing my PhD

[@mrsully6003]

It goes without saying that Brian Greene is a physics/science gem. I didn't know who Faith Salie was before this inteveriew but she KILLS IT. Well done both of you.

[@susannjarvis5587]

I have just started listening to the audio version of his book, narrated by Brian Greene himself. What a wonderful, thought provoking journey it is proving to be. I respect this man for his intelligence, dedication, and his storytelling abilities to make the mind staggering information of quantum physics understandable to one (me) who has no scientific background but does have a curiosity. Thank you, Dr. Greene. And Thank you, Faith Sallie for this program.

[@danacoleman4007]

Brian is AWESOME!!!!!!

[@armchairgravy8224]

It's so nice to see Brian interviewed for a change.

[@chipkyle5428]

Beautifully done. It's not about legacy. It's about this magic moment we live in now. We all have won the cosmos of lotteries! This tiny moment IS enough. I'm 74 and have had a lifetime of adventure on. land and sea. I'm headed to the Alaskan Wilderness in August. Live to you die. Live life to its top. And please let me say this magic is where you are right now. You don't have to Sail to the Bahamas or live in the Alaskan wilderness. You are truely free to live now. Don't waste a breath. Change your self-story if you have to. Now go live. Throw my ashes into the Bering Sea right after my last gasp.

[@matthewweflen]

She's a really terrific interviewer. She clearly read the book, has cogent questions, and articulates them well.

[@errollleggo447]

I like how Brian Greene and Max Tegmark both have the same idea about how we are all just particles. I was really entertained by this one.

[@mehridin]

A stupid, futile statement that should impress no one with a modicum of intelligence

[@kenadams5504]

But we also have to delude ourselves into thinking that we have Free Will, ( in order to evade the sense of powerlessness that the physics reality instills in us ).

This video is equal parts informative and beautiful, and I think that's largely a reflection of the 2 humans sharing the stage. Faith and Brian seem to complement each other perfectly... literally and figuratively. My only complaint is this: TOO SHORT. I would happily spend several more hours with these people. Just wonderful.

[@jagaure]

Wonderful episode! Faith - energetic, smart and beautiful and a great interviewer! Same with Brian! :) Love from sweden!

[@williambunting803]

That was a truly excellent meeting of minds, with the ultimately perfect conclusion that it is about enjoying the moments that we get. Physics is one thing but animal biology is another thing altogether, but what a wonderful opportunity it is that we have the ability in our time to appreciate complex nature can be. Brian’s wrong though on self determination. A rail track with a carriage, the track determines the range of possible positions the carriage can be, but the carriage determines which of those possibilities suits it best over time. We all have self determination with in the range of possible freedoms and time.

[@croozerdog]

experience is waaaay more than words, i can describe fireworks to you but I can never make you feel the beauty of being at a fireworks show. i personally think that the brain reacts to so many different stimuli, some as random and absurd as the universe itself, that our "free will" and our sense of self has fundamentally infinite possibilities. it's crazy how much we can really think about if we band together

[@TruthSayer5589]

Such brilliance and clarity. One only hopes and dreams, provided we’re successful and don’t disperse into an endless array of particles, where no 2 shall ever meet again, that when this all returns from wince time, space and everything came, that the consciousness that decided to randomly divide itself into particles, will remember everything, but not ever feel compelled to test the veracity of its own perfection again. But, what fun to remember everything, every particle, every star, every planet, and the lives of every being, in 360 degree technicolor consciousness, all that came about through its own division into creation. The awe and wonder never ceases ❤

I would have liked Faith to ask Brian about sitting comfortably in "One's Own Personal Concisness Bubble" in a crowded nightclub interacting with your friends surrounded by hundreds of people indifferent to your very existence. You get this irresistible urge to look in a specific location behind you and lock eyes with someone specifically checking you out from a distance. Personally, I wonder if this phenomenon has some connection to the observer effect. Thank You!! for the discussion.

ETC ETC;AND I WAS ASKING THE WRONG PEOPLE BECAUSE THEIR ANSWERS WERE SOMETHING LIKE:DON'T ASK DUMB QUESTIONS OR HOW SILLY ARE YOU ASKING THOSE THINGS,AND FINALLY I'VE FOUND PEOPLE LIKE BRIAN GREENE,ELON MUSK,LEX FRIDMAN,ETC,PEOPLE WHO HAS THE SAME QUESTIONS AS ME AND BESIDES SUPER SMART PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS,THIS IS "AMAZING"!!👍👍👍👍

After all of the physics,astronomy, & general science videos i watch, wich is to say in scientific terms, a crap ton... I have found that certain atmospheric qualities allow me to retain and in turn recall more information than others. ... this particular video is a prime example of said atmosphere. Its 95% Likely the chemistry between Faith and Brian. Faiths enthusiasm to learn and her welcoming & charming charecter really is almost like a super conductor where the brilliance of Brian's mind just flows out and into the minds of those of us that carry even a flicker of curiosity & wonder of what exactly is...

[@manuelestudillo6098]

great to have people like him!

[@mattneville2864]

Brian I’ve considered the free will thing. I agree and would like to add a bit. All of the chemical processes that take place within our brain an associated with them are summarized by their fundamental particles which exhibit quantum behavior. We are aware that means they behave probabilistic. This makes me have a different perspective. Maybe we still do not have free will. Because any outcome is possible, we perceive free will. Still bound by the physics as you mentioned.

49:40 that is why most find relief from: the majesty of existence, the shocking implications of the mundane, and the incomparable unlikelihood of the real -- in beliefs that muddy up the whole proposition and provide longed for reversion to automatic functioning of the associative thought-centric and quite free-will devoid "mind". If the need to entertain any story, no matter how lame, becomes feverish, we could be in a good spot, we could be in a bad spot, dependent on the pointedness of our point of view. If things get too clear we can always turn on the TV, or read a metaphysical tome, or watch a KZbin video that stimulates associations we enjoy, or worst yet most soothing of all, simply reminisce with limbic seasonings. Keeps things in homeostatic balance: that being the glacial progress, with the emphasis on stasis, that evolution favors so much on the collective level -- not that it will do us any personal good outside of antibiotics and such.

[@alexgoslar4057]

[@ekekonoise]

40:00 but where does this need for trascendence comes from? if we are just particles of the universe, and the universe has no need for stories or trascendence, where does this need comes from? that seems to point in direction to something beyond physics (physics as we currently know)

After what Brian Greene said about The Freewill and the illusion of it: I have questioned myself, my life and it's meaning, and the meaning of the whole universe? But I still believing in Freewill, and I think that the double slit experiment and observer effect may be a reflection of our Freewill.

[@Jay-ft3xh]

There is a generous amount of semantics at work in such arguments.

My brain completely changed when i read michio kakus hyperspace book (made before i was born, 1990, yet people dont even understand any of einstines idias yet hahaha) He doesn't even say the word dimension. I do and everone gets confused and i go down rabbit holes. It's really tough talking about science because I'm so far ahead of everyone else. And all a them, he and michio kaku, me, everyone. But again, they never go down the rabbit hole, even though that's the monster not only in the closet, but also under the bed and all darkness out side in night, even when you turn the lights off. You have to address it. This dark matter is string theory. Its time and space, and we even have some math equations and laws, yet they are never talked about. There's so much, ... and he even kinda leans tord without a question, and answer is worthless. If you skip to the end of our book, everybody dies. Boaring. The only religion worth teaching is string theory because particals are transdimensional. But he says all there is is laws of physics and particals wiggling till they die. Yea being one with nature is cool, but if you cant get into that, get into what i say, be one with dimensions. Be one with string theory. They will all pass on. What makes our molecules are tied to us transdimensionaly, and then they all go away when time doesn't matter anymore. They go up a dimension. Time is a dimension. Its more than just death, and its not religion. I believe in super string theory. Its been around for almost twice I've been alive for. One day more people will be like me. I've lived a tough life and nobody knows or cares, but i believe in something better than anybody else. In other words, get on my level bro. Theres more forces of nature in lower dimensions. The more forces of nature are combined with gravity in higher dimensions. He even wrote that in his book, but again, thats not "in sceen" its not what the cool cats do. Therefore all u can do is buy his book and monitize knolage.

[@billyboom2432]

Dr. Greene, many thanks for your efforts! If I may ask a question... In Phys. Rev. 160, 1113 (1967) Bryce DeWitt, as well as John A.Wheeler in "Relativity, Groups and Topology" (1968) - they have developed the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for a wave function of the Universe. Above all, they came to a conclusion that (in the case of so called 'mini-superspace') the wave function (a.k.a. amplitude of probability) does not depend on time. Well, but this conclusion is in conflict with our 'daily' experience that universe in fact is changing with time. Thus, it follows that Universe (including US in it) does not change, and time does not exist, while We, the Observer, experience time within it and do observe the change... Probably as laity in theoretical physics I am mistaken with this interpretation, but could you please give your interpretation of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for wave function of the Universe. Thank you

[@crazywickedcustoms7272]

We as humans don't understand so much. We are too fast to think we have answers, but offen find that our answers are not right.
