AUDIENCE COMMENTS
“Brian Greene was a delightful, inspiring, and very well received guest. He has a remarkable talent to make complex ideas very accessible. Students quickly gained confidence to ask questions as they saw that he would take them seriously. At the same time, he was engaging and challenging with faculty, advanced students, and community in thoughtful – and often humorous – ways. Excellent selection for our campus and community.”

“He was a fine speaker. It is frankly incredible to me that someone can give a coherent talk explaining certain crucial features of special relativity, general relativity and quantum mechanics, the source of the conflict between relativity and quantum mechanics, and the way that string theory resolves the conflict " all in one hour. He also did a terrific job in a Q&A.”
