Professor Brian Greene reveals the biggest questions science still can’t answer, whether we’re living in a simulation, why AI may deserve human rights, and what happens at the end of the universe!
Professor Brian Greene is a theoretical physicist, mathematician, and Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Columbia University, where he also directs the Center for Theoretical Physics. He is a leading researcher in string theory, the co-founder of the World Science Festival, and the bestselling author of several books, including ‘Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe’.
He explains:
◼ Why most physicists believe time travel into the future is already possible
◼ Why he believes humans don't actually have free will
◼ How string theory could reveal what everything in the universe is really made of
◼ Why the "Pale Blue Dot" changes how you see your own life and problems
◼ Why the search for meaning may matter more than finding the answer itself
