  1. Notes on #Physics Discussions: Here’s #BrianGreene interviewing #EdWitten for #WorldScienceFestival . They cover some interesting ground but you have to be a bit familiar with #StringTheory to know where it’s going. Oddly it seems as if someone told Ed “talk all you want but don’t use any math or physics language” . So the more you know the more comical the whole thing is. Ed Witten, as far as his work goes…is terrifying in all the best ways possible. Read the papers

  6. 🧶🔬 String Theory: the never-ending yarn spun by physicists who love talking but hate tangible results. Brian Greene and Edward Witten's latest yawn-fest is a rerun of their 20-year-old conversation 🤦‍♂️. Spoiler: Witten is still "disturbed" by the universe's refusal to fit his equations. #PhysicsComedy #StillNotProven 🎢

  10. Great talk with,Jonathan Haidt and Brian Greene about social media and other stuff.

    Its good when somebody won't just go "Will somebody think of the childer" but points out actual studies and data that show what is harmful and why.

    ...gave me lots to think about..and be nervous about...

  15. @ponderingpolitics.bsky.social discusses Donald Trump's recent pathetic, sycophantic and CREEPY interaction with the press on #AirForceOne. Im actually amazed the beady eyed goon who touches genitals with #MarjorieTaylorGreene, #BrianGreene could talk with Trump IN his mouth youtu.be/HJGPgNX2lZE?...

    Visibly Insecure Trump GETS CR...

  22. #BrianGreene & #AlanAlda Discuss Why #Einstein Hated #QuantumMechanics

    …"Albert Einstein was not a fan of quantum mechanics. He was annoyed by the uncertain, random nature of the universe it implied (hence the famous quote "God does not play dice with the universe"). So, Einstein tried to develop a #unifiedTheory that would circumvent what he saw as quantum mechanics' flaws"…

  28. Flexibility

    The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.

  29. Just surfaced on #YouTube : #BrianGreene Fights Anti science and #StringTheory Debunkers...so not unusual and likely excellent. What really caught the eye was length- just shy of 4 hours ! We used to call those #Telethons

  32. Here's #BrianGreene and #JuanMaldacena talking #StringTheory, #QuantumGravity and #BlackHoles . A not very technical discussion. Those of you who know who Juan Maldacena is may be a bit disappointed as given more runway he gets very interesting, very quickly. Anyway we're partial to stringers here and proud of it

  35. Good bits but also this : #BrianGreene here briefly mentions having had a #LucidDream. He doesn't say how recently this occurred.Should this be important ? Here's why I think it is- when high functioning people with deep technical backgrounds wander into this region of the #NoeticSpectrum and report back at least one door that was previously closed opens for a previously skeptical but now inquiring mind. Sometimes that's enough.Sometimes it's more than enough
