      If what I see the world before and I knew that the statue all around the world they are all the just the bad example of people in the past , people ...kids in this present time should used the Brian and analysis with carefully not too hurt anyone else except yourself... the world is so cruel , bad ...selfish ...and very cold ...and it always be like that forever. Do you think these retarded kids need to have the better world? Or something better than what they are facing with? Do they screaming and asking directly to the world one by one ? Hell No, But they would agree with me in something if I saying out ...for sure... ask for more painful for your torturing ideas ... yes is what I would want ... make me more ....until turn me to be not weak and useless to be not human no more ... there is no God left in me ... that what I am waiting for , am I surprised you guy or u didn't expect what will come out from me ...
      Keep all the goodness with your people ok ... don't mixed with these kids like me ... if I don't go hardest as you I won't get the best from you ... I won't know how the world greasiest as well ... because there are so many bullshits in this universe... sorry that I used this way to see the world , people have just only one life .... not more than that ...I want the other human should know this very well . Not to say ... you can start to have to new life ... pause ...this ... because half of these people never gonna make it.

    Einstein was figuring all this out in his mind while people were still traveling on horses, discovering & understanding time dialation & length contraction by doing thought experiments, at a time when spaceflight was but a dream. Genius doesn't seem to do him justice, & it makes Newton & all those others even more astonishing when you consider how long ago they were figuring out all the different laws of the universe, when man's knowledge & scientific understanding was so limited, extraordinary mind's that one can but appreciate, marvel & envy. Bravo.

As an aside, Brian Greene is an excellent host of these scientific forums. His ability to rephrase an expert's statements into more simple, less technical language is masterful. And finally, as a professor of psychology for 43 years, I have realized a passion for physics during the past 10 years. I just wish I could live longer to study this field in more depth. P.S. As we all know, gravitational waves have now been detected. How exciting is that!

      +LampDoesVideogame Newton did not have a theory of gravity. Newton observed that the same force that made things fall to the ground also kept celestial bodies moving in their orbits. He devised laws as to what motions the effects of gravity would produce but Newton never considered what the force of gravity actually is. Einstein's General Relativity is a theory of gravity because it proposes that gravity is caused by mass distorting spacetime and objects traveling through the geometry of spacetime are affected by the shape of spacetime itself.

    In this presentation, Brian Greene serves as the perfect moderator because he offers a style that contains both the academic scholar and the "close friend." He is highly credible, and he is always fully aware of his audience's needs. The panel consists of today's geniuses in their fields, and they all performed spectacularly. The content included a huge amount of important material. The visual technology and platform for this presentation is superior and it was sharply executed. This is rather lengthy as presentations go. However, this one holds your attention throughout. So, sit in a comfortable chair, open a good bottle of wine, and enjoy this presentation.

    Great talk. I would really enjoy a discussion about the fundamentals in mathemathics, physics and philosophy -- the difficult problems at the point of the arrowhead: Inherent indeterminacy in axiomatic systems (leads to measurement problems in physics). Experimental data is pointing to an emergent reality. I would like to listen to new ideas about the metaphysical implications of quantum mechanics. I would even embrace very speculative ones, because strange -- coherently strange -- ideas should be considered at this point.
    Epistemology plays a very important role in how we define axiomatic systems conceptually (often underestimated). We need new ways of asking difficult questions, because the purely mathemathical picture of the universe seems to break down to the language of mathemathics itself as we probe deeper (This does not mean that reality is mathematics. It means that reality is idealistic, and we do not know how to deal with that -- because it implies that reality has some kind of purpose).
    I would like to listen to people who do not confuse the concept 'absence of anything' with the number zero. The concept 'absence of anything' is nonsensical when it is applied to physical systems -- and even in ordinary language. This confusion seems to be widespread. It leads to theoretical weirdness (Infinitely expanding 'nothing' described as 'something' etc.).
    I would also like to listen to creative ideas about how the observer fits into this picture. The C-word and quantum mechanics mentioned in the same sentence is not necessarily just semantics or quantum quackery. The act of mesurement: interaction between probabilistic fields, seems to have some fundamental significance (interaction presupposes an observer ... a point of determinacy). This means that reality is at least self-referential at the quantum level of reality (I am one of those 'crackpots' who still consider the possibility of teleological effects). I want to know what is going on there, because it seems to me that I am either crazy or that there is something everybody else knows that I just do not understand.

    I had a conversation w/ Dr. Weinberg about 25 years ago on the possibilities of quantum effects being responsible for "paranormal" events. At first, he was reluctant to admit that there might be a connection. After a half an hour or so, though, he did confess that it was not beyond the realm of possibility. Now retired, he is still one of the most open minded physicists that I have met. Though, perhaps not with all of his colleagues.
