Greene kicked off his 15-city tour in Cambridge on Wednesday to promote his latest effort. A Harvard alum, Greene says being in Cambridge brings back quite a few memories.
After graduating summa cum laude, Greene won a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, where he received his doctorate. Since then, he has taught at Cornell University, where he is currently a joint professor of physics and mathematics. Additionally, he bears the title of co-director of the Institute for Strings, Cosmology...
In 1999, Greene published his first book, The Elegant Universe, for which he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. The book presented the idea of string theory, a concept that is gaining more credibility among the scientific community as a potential form of the Unification theory for which Einstein searched in...
“I think Einstein would have loved string theory. The thing to bear in mind is Einstein himself recognized the limitations of his own General Theory of Relativity. That’s why he was looking for something to go beyond it,” Greene says. ?...
The mathematics of string theory gives rise to the almost unfathomable possibility that the universe may have more than three spatial dimensions. After an experimentally induced collision of particles, energy may be lost to the extra eight predicted dimensions, Greene explains, emphasizing the point by smashing his fists together and...
