Interview

Brian Greene discusses The Fabric of the Cosmos, in which he translates cutting edge research into language the layman can understand.

Q: What would you say to people who think they are just not smart enough to ever fully wrap their minds around the nature of the universe?
A: For most people, the major hurdle in grasping modern insights into the nature of the universe is that these developments are usually phrased using mathematics.

But when the impediment of mathematics is removed and the ideas themselves are rephrased in common language, they're not that hard to understand. So, I say: give it a try--and most people do find that they grasp much more than they expected.

Q: Is it a challenge, as a physicist and mathematician to write in a way that everyone can understand?
A: It is a challenge, but for me its both a useful and exciting one.

I find that translating cutting-edge research into more familiar language forces me to strip away extraneous details and zero in on the core ideas.

Brian greene pbs Brian Randolph Greene [ 1 ] born February 9, is an American physicist known for his research on string theory. He is a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University , director of its center for theoretical physics, and the chairman of the World Science Festival , which he co-founded in Greene co-discovered mirror symmetry , relating two different Calabi—Yau manifolds [ 2 ]. He also described the flop transition , a mild form of topology change, and the conifold transition, a more severe transformation of space, showing that topology can smoothly change in string theory. From to , he served on the board of overseers of Harvard University , and is currently a member of the board of sponsors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Often, this helps me to organize my own thoughts and has even suggested research directions. And it's exciting to see ideas that are close to my heart and those of other researchers in the field reach a wider audience. The questions we are tackling are universal, and everyone deserves the right to enjoy the progress we&#

    Brian greene imdb Brian Greene born February 9 , is a theoretical physicist and one of the best-known string theorists. Since he has been a professor at Columbia University. Brian Greene has worked on mirror symmetry, relating two different Calabi-Yau manifolds concretely, relating the conifold to one of its orbifolds. He also understood the flop transition, a mild form of topology change, showing that topology in string theory can change at the conifold point. Born in New York City, Greene was a prodigy in mathematics.
