Brian Greene is a leading theoretical physicist and an entertaining communicator of cutting-edge scientific concepts. A professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, Greene has been described by The Washington Post as “the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the world today.” He has authored four acclaimed books — “The Elegant Universe,” “The Fabric of the Cos¬mos,” “The Hidden Reality” and “Until the End of Time,” which are the basis of two Emmy and Peabody Award-winning NOVA miniseries, both of which Greene hosted.
