Top Scientist REVEALS: A Kid In The 29th Century Could Have Made This World! | Prof Brian Greene

Professor Brian Greene reveals the biggest questions science still can’t answer, whether we’re living in a simulation, why AI may deserve human rights, and what happens at the end of the universe!  Professor Brian Greene is a theoretical physicist, mathematician, and Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Columbia University, where he also directs the Center for Theoretical Physics. He is a leading researcher in string theory, the co-founder of the World Science Festival, and the bestselling author of several books, including ‘Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe’.  He explains: ◼ Why most physicists believe time travel into the future is already possible ◼ Why he believes humans don't actually have free will ◼ How string theory could reveal what everything in the universe is really made of ◼ Why the "Pale Blue Dot" changes how you see your own life and problems ◼ Why the search for meaning may matter more than finding the answer itself ### Chapters - **00:00:00** Intro - **00:02:22** The Big Question Science Is Trying to Answer - **00:03:49** How String Theory Could Explain Our Universe - **00:04:44** How Could We Ever Prove String Theory Is Real? - **00:06:17** What Makes the Strings in String Theory Vibrate? - **00:07:52** Can String Theory Explain Why We’re Here? - **00:09:16** What If We’re Living in a Simulation? - **00:11:23** How Can Physics Explain Human Emotions? - **00:17:23** Could Humans One Day Manufacture Emotions? - **00:18:53** Would Knowing We’re in a Simulation Change Anything? - **00:20:24** Could Humans and AI Eventually Merge? - **00:20:59** Could Humans Ever Achieve Immortality? - **00:24:57** How Knowing We’ll Die Shapes Every Decision We Make - **00:26:59** Why Are We Here?
