Space, Time, and Einstein
with Brian Greene | Physicist, Author | Co-founder, World Science Festival; Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Columbia University
Join Brian Greene, acclaimed physicist and author, in a visual and conceptual exploration of Einstein’s spectacular insights into space, time and energy. All the startling conclusions of special relativity, from time travel to $E=mc^2$, come from one idea: the constancy of the speed of light. Take a wild ride into the deepest aspects of reality that defy everyday experience.
