Join Brian Greene, acclaimed physicist and author, on a wild ride into the mind of Albert Einstein, revealing deep aspects of the world that defy everyday experience. Using a visually rich canvas of animations, Greene leads you through all the startling conclusions of special relativity, from time travel to space warps to E = mc2. In the span of 2+ hours, this short master class will change your conception of reality.

This is a mostly non-mathematical version of the WSU Master Class “Special Relativity with Brian Greene.”    • WSU: Special Relativity with Brian Gr...

    Every night i go to sleep watching youtube, doesnt matter what im watching, i will wake up in the middle of the night to this video
  • @sandbach7195
    I love falling to sleep with these ideas....its very relaxing.
  • Best delivery of a time dilation explanation ever. Couldn’t leave til the video finished, totally glued. Awesome Dr Greene. Awesome and inspiring.
  • @Slaphappy1975
    Thank you for sharing this. Brian Greene is just the best science communicator. Sometimes im so thankful for YouTube.
  • @i2ohit
    I wanna confess something, Brian greene's youtube content helped me get out of depression, honestly
  • @user-lr9bj9yo8s
    Isn't that a miracle that we can watch this incredible lecture by world's leasing physicists for free at any moment in spacetime ! We are so lucky !
  • The first book that ever properly made sense to me and got me hooked onto Physics is The Fabric of the Cosmos! Thank you Dr.Brian Greene. 😊
  • I have read, I believe, every book that Dr. Greene has written. There is simply on one on the planet who can explain complex subject matter in a manner that even I can understand. Thank you, Professor Greene, for allowing me to see and appreciate the wonderful universe that we all inhabit.
  • @1halnass
    Can you imagine what we could accomplish if we all had teachers like Brian Greene?
  • @jadams3427
    What a gift Brian Greene has. He can explain this kind of thing in ways that mortals like me can perfectly understand ! Thank you Brian !
  • I'm watching from South Africa, Durban. I am enjoying your lecture, I'm going to actively seek more of your work as you have a layman's way of explaining rather complex scientific concepts
  • @ajoebo9095
    Greene as a teacher to a layman like me is breathtaking, phenomenal and rare to encounter. Almost if not entirely one of a kind. I say entirely because this gifted teacher just gave a lecture on a difficult subject to understand to a non-physicist and n0n-mathematician just like me: the conceptualization of Special Relativity. Nobody in my book has explained Special Reavity and what it means in practical terms the way Green has. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • @chingring4926
    Brian, really has an amazing gift at explaining things.
  • @spiderrico7709
    I never went to high school. Theoretical physics, subtopics particals,, quantum theories attract my imagination n I'm so grateful these videos explain so much of the questions I've been asking myself for years.
  • Hi. Prof. Brian Greene. In the beginning, recently, I watch your program by chance. But now, I am hooked and become your staunch follower. Your lectures are very interesting and enjoyable even for someone who does not have any background in physics or cosmology. I feel you are giving lectures on cosmology like reading a poem. I love it, sir. I am watching from Thailand.
  • @novahina
    Only If I had more teachers like this. Your teachings are excellent. I have never ever had a physics class like this. My professors would always bully me with students.

  • @aaroningram9465
    Brother, I've been following you for 16 yrs. This is by far your most susinct and penetrating lecture. Bravo!!! Thank you.
  • The visuals are incredible! I can listen to Brian Greene for hours but these visuals are really next level 👏
  • @emasolie4135
    Brian Green is by far the best public speaker on YouTube. Flawless as a salt crystal.
