    This was a great one. I really appreciate the 1 on 1 conversations. They are always deeper, more historical, more coherent, and more educational in my opinion, than the big panels are.

    Im a registered nurse, never took a physics class in my life, but I love these videos and have learned so much from them. I also have a huge crush on Brian Greene, as I think, judging from the comments, many others do, too! 😊Thank you for such interesting information! Cheers from PA, USA

    I watched an interview with Nobelaureate David Gross. The interviewer asked Gross "what's everything made of?" and handed him the microphone. She settled in for a long answer. His response "two quarks and an electron" and he handed the mic back. This interview had a similar impact on me. James Peebles has a no-nonsense, cut-to-the-heart approach that is very insightful and refreshing. Bravo Brian Greene!

    Thank you for such an amazing talk. James is very inspiring and modest, makes things easy to understand, thanks WSF!

    What a beautiful interview. Peebles is fantastic proof that strenuous use of your brain will keep you sharp at every age.

    This reminds me of years ago on Christmas morning, when the kids were trying to work out how Santa got all those toys down the chimney and placed them around the room and them asking how Santa knew just which presents each of them would like. If I'd have told them they just appeared from nothing, they would never have believed me.
  • Combining enlightening Information with subtle humour, great guests and conveying the content in a understandable way makes this a special channel to me (and so many !) 👏 Thanks a lot from Germany for promoting science in times when facts are so often disregarded 👍

    This is one of the best and most inspiring episodes I have seen. Dr. Peebles really enjoys the ideas of not being certain, hence creating an atmosphere of discovery, as well as inspiring new ways of thinking about the universe.

    Amazing Talk. James Peebles is fantastic! So clear and simple in the way he speaks and so wiling to say there are things he can't even guess at. One your best guests, Brian.

    This is one of my favorites ever! What an excellent interview.

    I'm literally reading peeble's Principles of Physical Cosmology right now and this episode showed up in my feed
  • @Killer_Kovacs
    Mr.Peebles might be the best speaker; in the literal sense, that I've seen on this program.
  • @meetghelani5222
    This was a great conversation as always. Loved the way Prof. Peebles discussed his ideas, they really gotta have people like him and Prof. Greene in classrooms.

    An incredible conversation with two incredible humans. Thank you.❤
