    ...when the interviewer does their homework. This is great stuff!

    Brian Greene is one of my favourite physicists, not just for his obvious brilliance, but also because of his entire approach to the subject. You'll never hear him disparage others, and he has a healthy amount of respect even for non-scientists. Consider the way he engages with this other brilliant physicist: Stefanie Milam. Unlike, say, Lawrence Kraus or Neil DeGrasse Tyson, he actually allows the guest to speak. All of which leaves you thinking you've learned something, even if you haven't:)

    I've just spent 51 minutes of my life with great pleasure. Thanks! Hello from Russia!✋😃

    When Brian can sit back and listen like the rest of us you know this woman knows her stuff. Really enjoyed this 😎
  • @jamesraymond1158
    How appropriate in a talk about water and life to see each speaker with a glass of water.
  • @hifibrony
    Greene is such a marvelous and gifted teacher.

    Ah, the wonder of knowing something no one else in the world knows, and the thrill of spreading that knowledge: you lucky people! Keep the thrills going with our thanks.
  • @Paul_Ch52
    Thank you, Dr. G. You attract the most interesting guests for the most interesting subjects. This has been one of the best. Dr. Milam is an excellent communicator with a deep knowledge of her subject. Thank you both.

    Water is vital... but so are you. Thanks for the video.
  • @b-retrogamer2324
    BG going with the mad scientist look these days. I approve of this.
  • @balaji-kartha
    Great to see Greene (a theoretical physicist) get amazed by observational astronomers ❤
  • @ThatBoyTweek
    very excited for what the future discoveries will hold for us.

    Outstanding interview by Brian, allowing Stephanie’s scientific discussion to blossom for the layman. Nice to see Brian bringing Stephanie back to the layman’s arena when she would get on a PhD discussion tangent role … fine for PhDs, not so much this audience. Thanks to both, best.
