Did Einstein Crack the Biggest Problem in Physics…and Not Know It?

Brian Greene is about as good as it gets at physics science communicator. I love that he's operating right at the boundary between proven theory and speculation, and he's always very honest with himself and his audience about where each topic lies on that spectrum. It must be pretty hard to be authoritative, open minded, and not talk down to people all at once when you're that smart, because most of his peers fail miserably at one of the three.

If you imagine a surface that particles traveling across, and that surface were rotating underneath; then the spin would be the center point between the two. But Quantum spin isn't classical spin.

I, half-jokingly, wonder if someone off-stage held up a sign to Daniel Jafferis that said something like "TOO TECHNICAL" He went from "far too much shop talk" into "fleshing-out and analogies" and it made a significant improvement on the whole group conversation. Whatever it was that got him to shift gears, the segment was much better once he started speaking to a more general audience. IMHO enough so that I went from 'ah jeez... this might go off the rails quickly' to 'whoa, that guy could be a science communicator'

It could be that the superposition of a particle is where time splits into two three-dimensional universes within a four-dimensional universe. In other words, when we measure a particle in our universe, the entangled particle is measured in another universe at the same time. What separates these two universes is time, because I think superposition transcends the limits of time. So, we can say that there are two entangled three-dimensional universes and whatever happens here also happens there.

Exciting stuff. Almost especially the different approach to tackle the quantum gravity issue. Congrats! Keep going.

I really loved the discussion and explanations made for me who tries to understand what’s going on to make sense of the universe. Thank you and please have more of these informative talks. Hats off to Brian Greene and team.

This is my favorite bit of physics that I've seen in my life time, I remember reading about ER=EPR in high school more than a decade ago, can't wait to read the paper.

Brian Greene just keeps getting better and better

Thankyou so much Brian for all your awesome work!
