Riddles of Reality: From Quarks to the Cosmos

I feel really gratefull that ordinary person like me have the access to this information & even I don't fully grasp the concept of the science that is being discussed, but I do find listening to science is my escape to busy life & motivation whenever I feel down. For me, listeing to science is like doing my meditation 🧘‍♀️. I feel enlighten at some degree. Thank you scientists.

I feel amazingly blessed to be alive during a period in our history as humans to where I can access this amazing conversation and information for free, I could listen to these fellows talk several more hours. Please keep making these tremendously informative and entertaining videos. Thank you a million times, you've ignited my childlike curiosity for the universe

Brian Greene, I'm sure you do not have time to read these, but I hope you realize how much us heathens appreciate you providing this info to us. I dropped out of high school to work because to be honest public school is just a baby sitting service and was actually pretty dangerous back then too (late 1970s) due to racial tensions. I am THE worst at math. Got straight D's the last tie I took math which was algebra in 8th grade. ANYWAY, my dad was smart as a whip. He was a pilot for United and wanted to be an astronaut but didn't want to have to raise a family in Texas or Florida. (Thank you Dad!) But he LOVED physics and was very taken with string theory. He taught me to never stop learning and I thank him for my love of learning. Man, he would have LOVED these shows! I sure wish I could watch them with him. Anyway, thank you for bringing this stuff to "us" the great unwashed. In my case everytime I watch one of these I feel close to my dad. RIP Capt. Daniel Jessup

Thank you Brian Greene. You are the greatest advocate for those of us who read, but do not exist in the realm of mathematics. Your contribution to enriching the lives of us intelligent punters deserves recognition, and the value of your work will resonate for generations.

"I just like to have fun" 😂😁 They say every scientist is a child in heart ❤️

This is what makes YouTube so important for the dissemination and assimilation of knowledge amongst human beings throughout the world ❤️

I do not think I can fully appreciate how smart Frank is.

Noble Prize ✔ Templeton Prize ✔ Owns a comb & a mirror, not so much. Tape on his glasses, Priceless (grin).

Frank is a fascinating character. He oozes a sense of wonder and fun in very complex things that I find contagious.

If you think you will never understand this, I'm here to tell you YOU absolutely CAN!!!! I once didn't and then i stuck with it, read a lot and eventually these things start to make sense. The more of us understand science the better off we all become!!! 💞

The understanding and attraction for science will greatly increase if people are encouraged to use their mobile phones to do experiments and see results with their own eyes. They carry around a very sophisticated and relatively cheap device with multiple sensors which was not possible before. I just used the barometer in my mobile phone to observe that when a train start moving forward from rest, the air moves backwards causing a dip in pressure. When it comes to rest, the air moves forward causing a rise in pressure. These are all expected but was very difficult to verify before. I have done plenty of other things with my mobile phone and some apps that I could not do before. My students used smart phones to measure their own power needed to climb up stairs.

Great talk Professor Greene. You always make it easy enough for us normal people. Thank you.

I could listen to Brian and Frank talk all day. Thank you

Excited to learn how the quantum field has evolved into the reality that we experience today.

I'll set the scene, it's cold, miserable and raining, it's late at night and I'm restoring my Honda Civic Type R. I get to the stage where I'm sick and tired of the same music, I'm unable to find a podcast that's actually interesting, silence is no good. I can't even remember why/ how I got to find the World Science Festival channel but 15 minutes into Brian Greene's talk with Max Tegmark and I am hooked. Totally, unequivocally hooked. Fast forward 7 months and 2 dozen books later and I'm still wanting more. Our universe has captured my imagination but more importantly my love of reading again. I can't confess to understand it all but being able to regurgitate this information to people is brilliant, an actual conversation starter and sustainer. Thank you to everyone involved with this channel.

Brian I’ve been listening to you, along with others PASSIONATELY for a long while now. As a matter of fact I have enrolled into college as a result to study these astonishing subjects. If it wouldn’t be bothersome or put you out of your way, could you please simply give me words of encouragement or advice while live? I can’t even begin to tell you what it would mean to me and what it would brew inside me. You are the single source of inspiration I needed to make the leap into theoretical physics. You are my hero. Thank you, Brian

Excited af

I have recently become a fan of Frank Wilczek. Then I found out he had been awarded the Templeton Prize. This prize is awarded for outstanding contributions in affirming "life's spiritual dimension". More importantly, it will help to pay for the increasing cost of energy (June 2022).

Thank you both for a wonderful talk
