Could they add a fetus level of explanation for me?
-
what i love about this is that it starts with mathematics with the kids but by the end it gradually turns into a philosophical discussion
-
Love how he started with the child by asking how old they were. Just instantly relevant and on the child’s level.
-
I’m constantly in awe of people like Massimo Porrati. Imagine being so intelligent you can communicate such high concept thoughts in your second language.
-
“How remarkable is it that we have this brief moment that allows us to think, feel, love, explore and illuminate. How wonderful is that.” Made me sob
-
I'm a professional astronomer, have a bachelors in astrophysics and a masters in astronomy. He explained the derivation of the time difference between moving and stationary clocks better than any of my textbooks and professors have...
-
I love how both the experts have crazy socks on 😂
-
This ability to communicate on a single topic at all these levels is like watching art
-
I felt like a kid watching this guy explain things. learned a lot in a short amount of "time" Well Done!
-
So lucky to have had Dr. Greene as my professor, such a great lecturer and educator. I recently asked him a question about relativity, and his answer was so well articulated despite being almost instant. I’m really glad to see him featured in this series!
-
I was surprised how simple the conversation in the fifth level was. Super easy to follow.
-
I'm aspiring to be a theoretical physicist and watching this really has broadened my knowledge more. He's amazing at explaining things.
-
I was totally lost in the "teenager" explanation but bits and pieces with the adults made total sense to me
-
The grad student could play Einstein in his younger years.
-
I like how he explains to the nine year old: if you travel in a spaceship around the world and come back, everyone else will be dead. His intense look almost make it looks like a death threat.
-
If I had a teacher like him, I believe I would have enjoyed the sciences more and pursued it further.
-
"It might be a brief flicker on a single moat of dust floating in a cosmic eternity. But it's everything." Such a great way to put it.
-
As a student in Brian Greene’s Origins and Meanings of the Universe at Columbia, every lecture was existentialist like that - I sobbed in his last lecture
-
I love how when he gets to the expert it becomes more of a conversation then a teaching
-
What smart kids though! I pulled it off but it was a challenge to really follow even at level 2 -that's how rusty the brain gets as you get older. Very endearing to see Mr Greene actively trying to understand someone else in the end, for a change. Wonderful video, than you!
