Excellent video on some mind boggling stuff.
I love Brian Greene because he takes something as complex as quantum physics and string theory and makes it almost understandable. lol 
The video reminded me of the fractal multiverse hypothesis. Interesting ideas.
Made me think of a neat little time travel book called The Man Who Folded Himself. Similar ideas are found in that book. It's a good read.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics
He does a great job simplifying things so they are easier to understand. I also really like how Brian Cox (Wonders of the Universe) and Michelle Thaller (How the Universe Works) simplify things.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics
I'm right with you on those two. I watched a great Ted Talk with Brian Cox last night.
On a side note, I recently saw the movie Theory of Everything. I highly recommend it if any of you has not seen it. Probably one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. I think because I respect the guy so much, it was hard watching him deteriorate physically over the course of his life. On the flip side, it was also very inspirational.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics
Great movie and really enjoyed it. I've heard it's not 100% biographical but that didn't bother me. I only wish they would have shown his humour more.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics
I read that too, but I didn't care about that too much. I understand that there has to be a little artistic license involved in order to get people to go see it. I am impressed that, even though it was written by his ex wife, she included her faults in the storyline as well as his. Fairly equal representation.
I agree though, from what I've learned about him, he's a bit of a good humored smart ***. Would have been nice to see more of that.

That would be fantastic. I am sure we can all learn from it.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics
The story is taken from his ex-wife's autobiography but the movie does not match it in timeline or information. She was on hand through the filming so she obviously didn't object to the changes.
He's notorious for playing practical jokes and making silly bets.

So, basically, it was just a movie about a guy who became a scientist, married a girl, feel I'll to a tragic disease, became wildly celebrated, fell out of love with his wife, and changed science forever. lol It was good though.

Might be a question leading to an obvious answer, but are you a med student, doctor, etc??? I definitely would liked to learn more about bacteriology and virology.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics
I know a movie is really good when I can sit there for 2 hours, never lose interest and can't believe that 2 hours has passed by at the end of the movie. Which is how I felt after watching it.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics
I'd like to see a film about Nikola Tesla. His legacy has been severely neglected.
All kids in the US learn about Edison in grade school, but I never heard of Tesla until I took university physics.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics
Here's a great one: http://www.pbs.org/tesla/
Tesla is remarkably neglected considering what he gave to the world.
