Neil Turok has very simple approach towards physics, that even reflects in his lectures. I watched many lectures of him on youtube and never saw anyone like him to explain things so simply and easily.
-
Brian Green once again at his best. One hearing is not enough so I play and replay and replay to get a clear picture. Feel so blessed to world science
-
These videos are epic. Finally some content I can binge watch.
-
This has got to be the best one so far. Could follow along with 90% of the discussion thanks to all the analogies and slides. Got a little lost during the neutrino talk, they set up how hard it is to catch and detect and it being electrically neutral but then at the end they said they just gonna shoot it 1000kms and split it with a magnet... Im guessing their is some explanation that was too hard to communicate in a discussion like this
-
I think Brian Greene as a host/moderator is amazing as he makes sure the conversation flows in terms of the what the audience can digest. Thank you Brian.
-
What a privilege to be able to watch - even two years late - some of the most brilliant scientists in their fields in lively conversation on such an interesting topic. And with Brian Greene as the moderator who always puts things in perspective for laypeople. Thank you all.

Pandemic lockdown... I think I’m learning more about science through these world class speakers than my entire university student days! ✨🏆✨💕😛
-
I watched this tonight, mind-blowing and brilliant. Also, now I understand how I always have loads of odd socks. This missing ones are travelling back in time. I should have looked for them before I lost them :)
-
Brian Greene is a damn good host! He knows exactly how to guide the discussion and just when to interject for the audience. He's like human Alexa!
-
It's really beautiful to see intelligent people have such a humorous and informative conversation about a complicated subject. Really enjoyable!
-
I have no idea what’s going on but I enjoy their company :)
-
I feel so lucky to spend my rainy day watching these excellent discussions about the World.
-
I'm spending my covid 19 isolation rewatching my favorite WSF videos. As I read the comments I see that I'm not the only one.
-
I love Brian. He makes complex concepts in Physics make me follow even though I am not trained in Physics. Very enjoyable and delightful discussions.
-
I thought she was going to say, “The neat thing about this detector is that it’s a banana” Lol 😂
-
I enjoyed watching these interviews. Loved the humor and the breaking it down descriptive way for those of us not familiar with most of these things. Greatly appreciated this. Thank you. Am looking forward to more.
-
The theory near the end, of the identical U and U(bar) universes was mindblowing... new idea for me to churn around in my head.
-
What a wonderful world we live in with beautiful minds like these.
-
Meeting of Great Minds is a precious gift to us the Audience. Thanks Bryan for your masterful ability to allow the main discussion never to go too far astray.

Brian you have no doubt given me a huge expanding interest in physica
