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

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'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.

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.

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