  • As a puny everyday curious primate I am always left feeling smarter after a Brian Greene episode.
  • @Zanthorr
    I love falling asleep - listening to Brian Greene talk about the physics of the universe.
  • @grawl69
    I adore Martin Rees. Great open mind, and this lenient smile of a sage which is just always present on his face - quite exceptional.
  • @alexmiller2752
    Mr. Green with Sir Rees, it's been a treat to watch and listen to you both.
  • The style in which Dr. Greene interviews is amazing. He should do a Masterclass on that. Allowing the interviewee time to explain and postulate while simultaneously adding his own perspective and segueing into new topics makes it so smooth and an easy listening experience.
  • Thank You Professor Rees. Such a brilliant and eloquent individual. A true giant of science.
  • @TheScentofmusic
    I always love to see Brian Green when he talks on Science, Astrophysics, Cosmology and General Science.
  • @workingTchr
    Rees is such a good listener. Just watching his facial expressions as he's listening to Greene talk is a curiously pleasing experience.
  • @guiart4728
    What an amazing mind and presence Mr. Rees displays!!!!
  • @sswwooppee
    Another great conversation between two accomplished scientists. This channel is so refreshing.

    Mr. Green and Mr. Rees this was an incredible show and it was very informative for the non-science degree individual to understand. In the scientific world we are constantly learning and understanding and things will changes as we learn and continue to understand things. I love WSF and thank you for some great streaming this allows an old former US Army soldier who earned a degree in chemistry geek out and think about the universe and the heavens.

    Oh! Wonderful view of the Hudson, Washington Bridge and Grant's Tomb! I love that part of Manhattan!
  • @Eztoez
    Brian is such a gentleman (and a gentle man). The amount of respect he clearly shows to Martin is touching and lovely to see. One should respect ones elders. Its classy. Disrespect is deeply unattractive.
  • @theresachung703
    Thank you for your efforts. You make our universe so much better. Much respect
  • @oker59
    I found his Before the Beginning – Our Universe and Others" and read it a long time ago. It's good to see him still at it!
  • @patytrico
    Thank you for this informal class!
  • @Interloper12
    I could literally listen to this stuff for days on end. Thank you both for the educational and insightful discussion.
  • @PhilipRhoadesP
    Brian, thanks so much for producing these podcasts with such interesting and brilliant people - they really feel like "Candles in the Dark" in these times when so much seems to be going wrong and the future looks increasingly bleak . .
