Yet another astounding video. Thank you Dr. Greene for hosting such quality over the years. And you have to love Dr. Albrecht's enthusiasm and excitement about the science. He just can't wait to see what's around the next corner, and you can't help but be excited along with him.

Beauty - I think I've watched the whole WSF channel... so these new videos are a godsend! It's nice to escape all of the other crap going on in the world.

Man, I can't get enough, these cosmoogy talks are always incredibly fascinating! I feel like I've read/ heard everything there is to know about what we know so far, but I keep watching these talks cause I might have missed something, plus a good refresher is always needed.

I was slightly disappointed that so much time was devoted to meta-issues about other physicists' preferences and biases, taking precious space away from learning more about how a genuinely creative and less public physicist like Albrecht thinks differently about entropy and time. Thanks for such a fantastic channel.
