I love that: 6:08:28 "Space and time conspire, in just the right way, to keep the velocity of light equal to the speed of light (c),"
-
Brian is without a doubt the most eloquent theoretical physicist on YouTube. His words are a steady flow that paint a picture in your mind.
-
Dr. Greene - I just can’t believe how wonderful a teacher you are! Thank you so much. You have no idea what a difference these lectures make to us.. Thank you.
-
The one reason I like professor Green's teaching professor Green makes it very understandable.
-
Just can't get enough physics with Brian Greene. All science teachers, especially university level should take his courses. Comprehensible and incredibly interesting. Unlike the college classes many of us were forced to endure. You know what I'm talking about. Thanks Brian and WSU.
-
How am I the first person to throw this epic lecture a like???? Well done Brian. I've watched this multiple times over the last few weeks.
-
keep making these long lectures, they are simply amazing!
-
I found a copy of Einstein's Relativity at a unsorted goodwill center two years ago. It was steadily opening my mind until I hit Lorentz transformations. I am a punk rocker with a GED. This video is invaluable. So thank you!
-
Love this so much and it's so counter to the modern day world where the attention span has shrunk to a few minutes and here we have an 11 hour video!! Brilliant, love It!!
-
Brian Greene is among my favorite present-day "pop" scientists. He has a zeal for helping people understand these concepts, and you can tell his own understanding of both the science and the art of teaching evolve thru that process. Genuinely personable, he's never condescending and it feels more like a discussion than a lecture. Bravo.
-
Thank You! You are a gifted teacher.
-
Thank you thousand times to make so easy to comprehed something so much difficult. I’ve really enjoy every minute of the vid.
-
This is called happiness 😍
-
This is a gem. Thank you so much Brian.
-
It's so bad find videos like these late in the night, if you know what I mean... BG does a really great job to make it as entertaining as it is informative. Awesome!!! As always
-
Best teacher I've ever come across! Thank you so much Dr Greene!.
-
This is absolutely brilliant Brian. Thank you for taking the time to do this. thank you so much
-
Thank You so very much. The duration of this video is no matter whatsoever against the realisation of reality that it offers. I am literally doing all the mathematics of this video as it goes along. Thank You Thank You Thank You
-
23-hour General Relativity master class, when?
-
Thank you, Professor Greene.
