Brian Greene is one of my favourite physicists, not just for his obvious brilliance, but also because of his entire approach to the subject. You'll never hear him disparage others, and he has a healthy amount of respect even for non-scientists. Consider the way he engages with this other brilliant physicist: Stefanie Milam. Unlike, say, Lawrence Kraus or Neil DeGrasse Tyson, he actually allows the guest to speak. All of which leaves you thinking you've learned something, even if you haven't:)

[@rogerman65]

He probably isn't among the very top thinkers in his choice of science, but he is a great communicator and intermediator/moderator and thus he has found his role in science - to communicate scientific progress in an up to date fashion to laymen and academics alike. He is so darned amicable and he can keep focus even after careful listening to what the other persons have to say. He doesn't interrupt and he most often follows up on what the other persons are saying instead of statingly going back to his script. Or maybe he does, but it doesn't show. I want to listen to him. He is the right person at the right place.

[@akpanekpo6025]

@@rogerman65 Alas, I'm not qualified to assess his choice of science, for I managed to leave school without ever being able to solve a single equation. So to me, anyone who can is a genius by definition. Besides, I don't think you can have his kind of biography by being second-rate, quite aside from regularly engaging with the likes of Penrose on equal terms.

[@oaksnice]

@@rogerman65 What do you mean? Physicists are unlikely to be top thinkers?

[@rogerman65]

@@akpanekpo6025 You are right, he is not second rate. He is just not among the absolute top scientists. He is however among the absolute top of thinking people altogether. But who am I to tell. Except, this isn't a thesis, it's my sqribble on a KZbin-channel's comment section. I am not that great at math either, but neither am I a top scientist.

[@knowledgetracker]

I've discovered Neil DeGrasse Tyson is not the sharpest tack in the box after watching for years. I have to turn away if I even hear him. Brian Greene is awesome because he evokes child-like wonder in the rest of us.

Neil. Take note. Let your guests finish sentences. Even multiple ones.

[@cosmoslogic9088]

We learn at a fast pace today one answer in Physics leads to more than a hundred questions and yes we are leap-frogging our knowledge of the Cosmos the major factor is that we have JWST to quantify what we think we are really looking at what it means to us for our future, The Cosmos is like a super colossal pinball machine things come in and things disappear in microseconds I hope what we find out is accurate enuff to help us make the major changes to our knowledge that we need to survive and maybe keep our planet Earth in the condition that helps us. I truly love the interest and comments said here.

[@рейкарина]

Brian Greene❤ amazing as always. Thank you so much

[@YersiniaPestisNPO]

Dr Greene is such a great host and presenter. I think his most admirable quality, besides his intellect, is his low ego. He doesn't have to act like the smartest person in the room (cough cough Neil deGrasse Tyson) and let's others teach him (and us) in a very comfortable and non combative way.

[@gps9715]

Generally speaking the smartest people in the room usually don't mind not being thought of as the smartest person in the room. Only those who have egos with something to prove are the ones who need to be known as the smartest person in the room.

JWT IS SO IMPRESSIVE. What many may not realize is that IF EXOPLANETS are found Say - 1/3 of way across the Galaxy (Milky Way) - That Planet's Light has been traveling to Earth for 30,000 to 50,000 Years. A lot could have happened since then. For Galaxies Millions of Light Years away, that could be a lot of change...or evolution.

[@JASONQUANTUM1]

This is my hypothesis. The enigmatic nature of black holes and solving the information paradox. In this theoretical framework, the photon sphere of the black hole acts as a "white hole" emitting information in the form of Hawking radiation. This emitted radiation, being a quantum state vector, imprints onto the holographic screen surrounding the black hole as a lattice of qubits or "Plixels." The lattice of qubits represents the encoded quantum information about the properties and characteristics of objects that have fallen into the black hole. The mathematical information contained in this quantum state vector describes various attributes, including velocity, acceleration, and the probability of spin states. This novel approach hints at a new type of physics that explores the relationship between black holes, quantum mechanics, and information theory. The idea of a holographic universe, programmed with bits of light in the form of Hawking radiation and encoded onto the lattice of qubits, holds the potential to unveil profound insights into the fundamental workings of our universe.

[@MuhyadinMohamedAbdulahi]

Copied from my last night comments and happy to watch this tonight. I went to school without laboratory I don't consider myself a science because I am not. And I don't want even to make efforts to acquire titles attached with my name because that is gonna create personal actualization which is a big cause of many human faults as it creates higher expectations from other people and that person who holds those titles tries to defend them by all costs whether in political or in business instead of acting and interacting with people as a normal human being who makes mistakes, who learns new things, who doesn't know many of the things who accepts and admits faults honestly, who asks forgiveness when they hurt others and compensate others if they did anything bad to countable (physical) by actions and regrets and apologizes when they hurt others in words and make much effort in self discipline of never hurting any one intentionally but that is not passive quality and weakness. Who doesn't regret and doesn't hesitate to denounce horrible acts including theirs first and then other people's This topic of food security was well addressed which when lacked creates "food insecurity" But quite different topic, I often hear climate change and climate justice and that countries most affected by climate crisis are the poorest. I also hear carbon dioxide (CO2) discussed which is the gasses animal breath out (exhalation process) and plants take. Ok. We also know that carbon monoxide is (meaning carbon with single oxygen at molecule level) reaction of two elements at gas state (substance state .... solid .... liquid and gas). Ok. This state is always due to the level of temperature (0 degree is the center) above 0 degree is hot or + and below is cold at substance level not human level because water is the center or queen measurement used at classification with the temperature so 0 deg is the freezing (ice point of water) which is two elements of hydrogen and one element of oxygen at molecule level or you can forgive me and say two atoms and one atom at this level because element is made up of atoms. Ok. Carbon monoxide needs more chemical reactions and that is why it takes one more oxygen to become stable at the electrons +- (loosing and gaining between the elements in reaction) gases which are usually in the category of the periodic table in chemistry depending on the electrons cycle in outer layer with the atoms to create elements and between the chemicals (with other elements to create molecules). First, carbon is eating the oxygen usually present in the lower atmosphere as gas. I said as a gas because with water it needs process to purity from it. Ok. When temperature of the earth goes up, snows will heat up and make rivers to follow to the seas because sea level is the lowest of the earth and that why altitude is measured from the sea level. Can we imagine the level of effects of such water follow not only in erosion but also every thing else. We can even bear in rain floods. But I hope, I am wrong and the solid snow oceans, seas and on lands are already in the sea level and will not make any water follow.

Some planets may have evolved the ability to breed Centaurs, Dryads, gargoyles, penguins with two hands, flying chimpanzees...🦄 The genes of these new species are preserved in the ice ball at the center of these planets. 🧊 These planets periodically melt the central ice ball, releasing new species onto the surface.🦠🐋🦭🐖🎎

[@gsilcoful]

Vrey cool stuff.

[@saulsavelis575]

LISTEN KIDS (in short, the real world has two fields who form one particle electron=photon: magnetic is perpendicular to the plane of whirpool which produces electric field falling into that whirpool and emerging as magnetic field), THIS KNOWLEDGE WAS REVEALED IN THE YEAR 2000 (I just needed to learn English to transfer it to you): electron is photon (electron is a real atom which is a manifestation of electric and magnetic perpendicular fields like whirpool or eddy or black hole), left and right electrons form neutrino, gravity is uncompensated (or relativistic) electric field of proton (smaller particles consist of bunch of electrons and gravity there is called strong and weak force/field), proton consist of approx 2000 electrons, neutron is electron plus proton, light has no colors since it is a bunch of photons at various distances between themselves traveling in the same direction like thrown sand particles in the air, the red shift is not only due to Doppler effect, but and due to spatial dispersion both due to angular divergence and due to absorption of some photons by matter particles on the path (overall effect is red shift, like averaged distances between photons=electrons falling on averaged areas gives a sensation of frequency and color), a single photon has got no frequency. Universe is INFINITE and ETERNAL, we just cannot see (and will never be able) very deep in space since the lack of PHOTONS reaching us.

[@BryanWard0926]

Do we have rings around Earth such as this that are detectable with James Webb telescope ?

[@barrypoontang]

Can water be generated from its constituents via the earth formation itself? If the earth was a super furnace and abundant with ingredients can it spew from volcanic suface interaction with its relativly cool crust? AKA can we fog the glass of our planet to bring enough mist?

[@peterbroderson6080]

The moment a particle is a wave; it has to be a conscious wave! Gravity is the conscious attraction among waves to create the illusion of particles, and our experience-able Universe. Max Planck states: "Consciousness is fundamental and matter is derived from Consciousness". Life is the Infinite Consciousness, experiencing the Infinite Possibilities, Infinitely. We are "It", experiencing our infinite possibilities in our finite moment. Our job is to make it interesting!

[@MrJdsenior]

Max was on some very good drugs at the time, and in one hell of a 'we're everything' circle jerk. Masergy is an old concept. Gravity creating particles seems far fetched, and it being conscious is absurd. Mankind thinks it's the center of the universe, making goofy statement like 'we are the universe trying to understand itself, when in reality we are, in total, probably completely inconsequential.

[@mdtys]

4:53 would make a great album cover

[@danielpaskoful]

Of course our solar system is unique Brian, it’s the only one we know of to have life.

[@MrJdsenior]

That doesn't mean that it is unique at all. The thing that would make it unique, by definition, is if it were the only system where that is true, and we have no way to know, either way. I expect that solar systems with life are literally a dime a dozen, and unlike ours some probably include intelligent life. I propose that ours does not, since the only species claiming to demonstrate signs of intelligence is crapping in the only kitchen it has, and maybe to the point already where the end is nigh, not today or tomorrow, but not that many years away, either.

Question 4: Where did the asteroids get their water from?

[@TideOfStamps]

I have read or seen video somewhere that explaned this.The water is created in formation of stars. All starts in particle level. The birth of star and its solar system is like machine that throws out elements and in right temperature, pressure, radiation and distance from the sun if there is right building elements and usually there is you get water. Actually if we look at all these recent findings water is not so rare in universe and how could it be.😂 It is just that usually it is not in right form if we look at it from life's perspective. In the early time of formation of the star there is a sphere/distance from star where this is possible and I suppose all these rocky objects just need to fly through or be formed in this area to get water with them. I heard that The Earth is loosing more water than getting it at the moment. Lucky us we still have relatively good amount it left. Just let me know if this theory sounds completely wrong.😊 Actually this made me thinking when this water formation ends, is it still going on? Obviously happens somewhere but still in our solar system? Maybe too old system allready.

[@McNastyxx95]

I feel like earth was just a ball of ice in the beginning, and once it got struck by a huge rock like asteroid it gave us the material needed . Because the amount of water here is just crazy to think it came like buckets of water filling a pool. I’d say the pool was already full, then it got floaties and other things added or thrown in. My opinion anyways.

Just like the shaft is cooled to produce force in Nuclear Plants. The oort cloud is a possibility of having metals and water in asteroids revolving due to Sun's Gravity so create a spherical band of metal and water. The direction the asteroids in the OORT cloud move, the electromagnetic flux produced by the moving asteroids is stabilized to create a field, that shuns outside Solar System Radiation. That is why water is required.
