EP 204 - Brian Greene
Welcome to The Pretty Intense Podcast. Today is Pretty Intense. We have the brilliant theoretical physicist and author Brian Greene with us. Brain has gone very deep into String Theory, and Mirror Symmetry, and so many things that I don't really understand well, but I am excited to learn. I have always been interested in the Universe and in our reality, and how everything works. We talked about time. We talked about entropy. We talked about dimensions. We talked about matter, and what we are made of. We really drilled down on the fundamentals of what we experience in life. We talked about the hadron collider in Switzerland. For me I like to go past my limit of knowledge to learn. I understood a lot of what we talked about today, but there was some things I did not understand, which I am grateful for, because it means I am expanding, just like the Universe. We hope you enjoy growing with this episode.
