JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE #1428 –
Until the End of Time
Brian Greene appears on Joe Rogan’s podcast to discuss his newest book, Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe.
CONVERSATIONS WITH RICHARD FIDLER –
Helping Make Sense of String Theory
Brian is a theoretical physicist with a knack for explaining mind bending things in everyday language. His books cover the science of extremely big things, like the shape of time and space, and how gravity works as well as extremely small things like particle physics, the behavior of atoms. He also explained that these two branches of science work really well on their own, but they don’t mesh together, not yet. But he thinks there is a theory that would resolve this conundrum, called string theory.
ON BEING –
Reimagining the Cosmos
A thrilling, mind-bending view of the cosmos and of the human adventure of modern science. In a conversation ranging from free will to the meaning of the Higgs boson particle, physicist Brian Greene suggests the deepest scientific realities are hidden from human senses and often defy our best intuition.
TED RADIO HOUR –
Is Our Universe the Only Universe?
Is there more than one universe? Physicist Brian Greene shows how the unanswered questions of physics (starting with a big one: What caused the Big Bang?) have led to the theory that our own universe is just one of many in the “multiverse.”

The Hidden Reality
Our universe might be really, really big — but finite. Or it might be infinitely big. Both cases, says physicist Brian Greene, are possibilities, but if the latter is true, so is another posit: There are only so many ways matter can arrange itself within that infinite universe. Eventually, matter has to repeat itself and arrange itself in similar ways. So if the universe is infinitely large, it is also home to infinite parallel universes.

The Fabric of the Cosmos
In a new four-part television special based on his best-selling book, physicist Brian Greene takes on the nature of time and space, multiverses, and other hard-to-wrap-your-mind-around concepts in cosmology. Greene talks with guest host John Dankosky about the new series.
MORNING EDITION –
Icarus at the Edge of Time
Theoretical physicist Brian Greene gravitates toward colorful storytelling, as he shows in Icarus at the Edge of Time. The book’s illustrations include a “black hole” superimposed on an image from the Hubble Space Telescope.
ALL THING CONSIDERED –
Faster Than Light Neutrinos
Scientists at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics are now touting a successful second experiment that may challenge Albert Einstein’s long-held theory of relativity. The results show that neutrinos could travel faster than the speed of light. Guy Raz talks to Brian Greene about the findings.
SCIENCE FRIDAY –
The Hidden Reality
In a new book, mathematician and theoretical physicist Brian Greene explains the concept of multiverses, and why some physicists believe there could be more than one universe. Plus, a look at the hidden universe of Greene’s desk, this week’s “Desktop Diary” video pick.
