My brief explainer on the just-announced Nobel prize in Physics--a breakthrough that will allow us to probe the cosmos in a new way:

Conversation with the great Lenny Susskind—quantum mechanics, gravity, black holes. I asked what drives him. A deeper connection to mystery? Yes, he answered, but really: it's fun.

Bottom line: if you love what you do, you've been granted a remarkable gift. https://t.co/OXacrXxNQH

I suspect AI will one day be sentient, but I’m intrigued that some experts, including Nick Bostrom, don’t rule out that today’s systems may already have a flicker of self-awareness. Maybe it’s time to be a little kinder to ChatGPT and Claude. https://t.co/Y86JWPffgL

Quantum mechanics is the law of likelihoods, not the script of events. Probabilities are set in stone; outcomes are improvised

Strands of a spider web--amazing electron microscope image (by Dr Martín Ramírez). Hidden wonders.

[Brian Greene @bgreene]

What Einstein called "spooky action"--quantum entanglement--arises from the mathematical fact that you can add quantum solutions together. Basic math; profound physics.

[Brian Greene @bgreene]

Tachyons—hypothetical faster-than-light particles—run on opposite rules: losing energy makes them go faster. They can never slow to light-speed.

[Brian Greene @bgreene]

It’s fine to thank God when an MRI, PET scan, or X-ray saves your life, but the thanks truly goes to physics—fundamental research that transformed how we probe matter. Cut funding and you cut tomorrow’s lifesaving breakthroughs.

My son Alec Day Greene in Annie Baker’s “Circle Mirror Transformation” at Oxford University.

[Brian Greene @bgreene]

I was drawn to mathematics because its truths seemed eternal. I've focused on physics because its truths speak to reality.

[Brian Greene @bgreene]

Cross a black hole’s edge and space and time swap roles, so you're drawn to the center as inexorably as tomorrow follows today.
