Add a CommentI found it a little mind boggling. I think to get a grasp on it you would need to watch it more than once. Then again, when one of the leaders in quantum physics says he struggles with quantum physics........
Brian Greene is a brilliant educator who can make complex physics easy and accessable to everyone.
Brian Greene, the Barry Manilow,of physicists, gives us a rehash of his 'Elegant Universe' series. Don't get me wrong, this is good info. But if you've seen or read the first one, the two discs are like a parallel universe with overlapping data.
