About Brian Greene
Lauded in the academic community for his groundbreaking discoveries in superstring theory, professor Brian Greene is known worldwide for being “the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the world.” The bestselling author of four books about the physics of space and time, Greene frequently appears on TV as a host of science programs and a guest of talk shows, is co-founder of the World Science Festival, and has even written plays about the revolutionary breakthroughs of Albert Einstein and other leading scientific figures.
About the class
Our universe started with a big bang, but what caused the bang? Why was Albert Einstein so skeptical of that theory even when his calculations suggested it? And if our universe could emerge from out of essentially nowhere, are other universes currently doing the same thing? Join astrophysicist Brian Greene to explore the origins of our universe, the very real possibility of a “multiverse,” and the ways that scientists are able to investigate events from billions of years ago and potentially in other universes entirely.
