Join Brian Greene, acclaimed physicist and author, on a wild ride into the mind of Albert Einstein, revealing deep aspects of the world that defy everyday experience. Using a visually rich canvas of animations, Greene leads you through all the startling conclusions of special relativity, from time travel to space warps to E = mc2. In the span of 2+ hours, this short master class will change your conception of reality.

This is a mostly non-mathematical version of the WSU Master Class “Special Relativity with Brian Greene.”    • WSU: Special Relativity with Brian Gr...

    I wanna confess something, Brian greene's youtube content helped me get out of depression, honestly
  • @cFull_Rtrd
    Every night i go to sleep watching youtube, doesnt matter what im watching, i will wake up in the middle of the night to this video
  • Best delivery of a time dilation explanation ever. Couldn’t leave til the video finished, totally glued. Awesome Dr Greene. Awesome and inspiring.
  • @ajoebo9095
    Greene as a teacher to a layman like me is breathtaking, phenomenal and rare to encounter. Almost if not entirely one of a kind. I say entirely because this gifted teacher just gave a lecture on a difficult subject to understand to a non-physicist and n0n-mathematician just like me: the conceptualization of Special Relativity. Nobody in my book has explained Special Reavity and what it means in practical terms the way Green has. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • @1halnass
    Can you imagine what we could accomplish if we all had teachers like Brian Greene?
  • @user-lr9bj9yo8s
    Isn't that a miracle that we can watch this incredible lecture by world's leasing physicists for free at any moment in spacetime ! We are so lucky !
  • The first book that ever properly made sense to me and got me hooked onto Physics is The Fabric of the Cosmos! Thank you Dr.Brian Greene. 😊
  • @Slaphappy1975
    Thank you for sharing this. Brian Greene is just the best science communicator. Sometimes im so thankful for YouTube.
  • @sandbach7195
    I love falling to sleep with these ideas....its very relaxing.
  • @frankcastle5737
    Give Albert Einstein the respect and credit he deserves for piecing all the concepts together, if, he hadnt thought of it himself.
  • @novahina
    Only If I had more teachers like this. Your teachings are excellent. I have never ever had a physics class like this. My professors would always bully me with students.
  • @kevincasson9848
    You have just witnessed a lecture on constant velocity motion and special reatuvity that will never be surpassed! Professor Brian Green has got, to be, the most brilliant and erudite educator on all aspects of physics, the universe, cosmos and quantum physics bar none, His enthusiasm, clarity and techniques of getting his message across is absolutey phenomenal! Thank heavens for teachers in his vain. They are very few and extremely far between... We love ya Brian!!!
  • I’m starting my junior year as a physics major this semester, and while I’m used to seeing all these crazy equations that we have to try and solve like Schrodingers, Lorentz Transformations, etc, it’s nice to be able to clearly and simply understand what exactly I’m trying to solve rather than being fed all these letters and numbers and being expected to be a master of special relativity or quantum mechanics and the like. Thanks Brian!
  • I’ve been learning stochastic and differential calculus for financial quantitative analysis and took a break to watch this video. I completely forgot myself for those two and a half hours.... I’d always heard of these equations and watched Interstellar several times but never really understood the concept with a high degree of comprehension until now. BRAVO man 👏 this was extremely spot on, and I can’t believe anyone would dislike the video. I never though calculus would come in handy in the real world until two situations in my life: 1-the decision to become a quant, and 2- my new found obsession with time travel and time dilation in general. To quote Family Guy, “why are we not funding this?!”
  • The visuals are incredible! I can listen to Brian Greene for hours but these visuals are really next level 👏
  • @BlakeNix
    I’ll be rewatching this for a while. Great lecture, I always enjoy listening to Brian.

  • @jadams3427
    What a gift Brian Greene has. He can explain this kind of thing in ways that mortals like me can perfectly understand ! Thank you Brian !
  • I'm watching from South Africa, Durban. I am enjoying your lecture, I'm going to actively seek more of your work as you have a layman's way of explaining rather complex scientific concepts
  • The more I learn the more I realize how much I don’t know. I have three degrees and bunches of letters following my name, yet I know so little. Thank you Dr Brian…you are the best. I’m continuing to learn.
