Our special guest today is Brian Greene. Brian is a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and, is renowned for his groundbreaking discoveries in superstring theory, including the co-discovery of mirror symmetry and of spatial topology change. He is known to the public through his books, The Elegant Universe, The Fabric of the Cosmos, and The Hidden Reality, which have collectively spent 65 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. The Washington Post called him “the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the world today.” He has also co-founded the World Science Festival and is the Director of Columbia University’s Center for Theoretical Physics.I first heard an interview with him about a year ago, where he was discussing the science in science fiction films and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect guest for our podcast.Follow Professor Greene on twitter @bgreene, on his website www.briangreene.org/ and www.worldsciencefestival.com/Please send any questions or suggestions to [email protected]
