Have zero education. Not capable of understanding what Brian Greene is talking about. I love the fact that someone could know what he knows, to me, it's like magic or religion except I know it's real. I completely admire these guys who dedicate their lives to explain the universe. I'm a gardener in Ireland. This is all I watch. I think that Brian Greene would sit down with me for a pint and not look down on me for my ignorance but would respect me for my wonder and interest.

When I was reading Brian's books back in my 20's I never expected to see him blow up like this. I'm so thankful for this window he provides into scientific topics for those of us who didn't go down that path. What a tremendous dude.

"thank you for uploading these videos. Even if I'm having a hard night, I just put a relaxing astronomy video on and listen. It always makes my nights go much easier. Thank you!!!"

Adam is incredibly knowledgeable but also very clear at explaining the information. It’s easy to understand how he won the Nobel award.

If space-time came into existence as infinite at the beginning and has been expanding ever since, that's a real life Hilbert's Hotel example, and we're all living in it.

Thank goodness we have Brian Greene to translate scientists for us.
