Brian Greene and Leonard Susskind: Quantum Mechanics, Black Holes and String Theory
Ғылым және технология
Renowned physicist and pioneer of string theory, Leonard Susskind talks with Brian Greene about some of the biggest breakthroughs in physics. Listen to their wide-ranging conversation about the holographic principle, quantum entanglement, wormholes, the Firewall Paradox, and how string theory has allowed for quantum mechanics and gravity to coexist.
This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
Live Sessions are conversations hosted by Brian Greene with world-renowned scientists, including World Science U faculty exploring matter, mind, and the cosmos.

Leonard is like a rockstar of physics. What a legend. Could listen to him for hours.
The unsung heroes of Brian Green's presentations are those who bring us the supporting graphics. Perfectly cued perfectly relevant and powerfully revealing.
Leonard Susslknd is one of those rare scientists who can help folks understand incredibly tough physics. He is so pure, i get high just watching his explanations! Thanks Propfessor Susskind for taking time to share with us\. And thanks Brian Greene for facilitating this wonderful interview!

The former is a mathematician, not a physicist. The latter is a showman, neither a math nor physics maven.
Leonard Susskind is probably an amazing grandpa you can see love and kindness in his eyes
Leonard Susskind always succeeds in conveying the sense of struggle that he experienced while grappling with difficult matters. It takes Brian Greene to ask the right questions and then stay quiet while the explanation unfolds.
