Brian Randolph Greene (born February 9, 1963) is an American theoretical physicist, mathematician, and string theorist.
Since 1996, he has been a professor at Columbia University and chairman of the World Science Festival since co-founding it in 2008.
Greene has concentrated on mirror symmetry, comparing two distinct Calabi–Yau manifolds (concretely, comparing the conifold to one of its orbifolds).
He also spoke about the flop transition, a minor revision of topology change, showing that topology in string theory can change at the conifold rate. Greene's books for the general public, The Elegant Universe, Icarus at the Edge of Time, The Fabric of the Cosmos, The Secret History, and related PBS television specials have made him known to a broader audience.
He appeared on The Big Bang Theory's "The Herb Garden Germination", as well as the films Frequency and The Last Mimzy.
He is now a member of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Board of Sponsors.
Greene appeared as the narrator of Maisy, the US version of the preschool television series.
Early life
Greene was born in New York City of Jewish origins. Alan Greene, his father, a one-time valiantville performer and high school dropout who later served as a voice coach and composer. Greene, a 1980 graduate of Stuyvesant High School, moved to Harvard University in 1980 to study physics. Greene earned his DPhil degree in theoretical physics at Magdalen College, Oxford, graduating in 1987. He earned his BA degree with summa cum laude awards in 1984. Greene studied piano with concert pianist Jack Gibbons while attending Oxford.
Personal life
Greene is married to Tracy Day, a former ABC producer. They have one son, Alec, and one daughter, Sophia. Greene has been vegan since he was nine years old and a vegetarian since 1997.
Greene has said that science is incompatible with literalist interpretations of faith, and that the New Atheism movement is particularly popular because he does not agree with the need for religious explanation. However, he is uncertain about its effectiveness as a tool for disseminating a scientific worldview. "When I'm trying to figure myself out of a human race and how I fit in to the long line of human culture dating back thousands of years," he says in a Guardian interview.
Career
Greene joined Cornell University's physics faculty in 1990 and was appointed to a full professorship in 1995. He joined Columbia University's faculty as a full professor in the following year. Greene, a Columbia professor, is co-director of the Institute for Strings, Cosmology, and Astroparticle Physics (ISCAP), and he is leading a research program at Columbia that extends superstring theory to cosmological problems. He is a FQXi large-grant awardee for his venture "Arrow of Time in the Quantum Universe," with co-investigators David Albert and Maulik Parikh.
Greene's field of inquiry is string theory, a contender for a quantum gravity theory. He is known for his contributions to the understanding of the various dimensions of string theory's curled-up versions. The most popular of these shapes are so-called Calabi–Yau manifolds; when the additional dimensions take on those specific shapes, physics in three dimensions displays an abstract symmetry known as supersymmetry.
Greene has been working on a particular kind of symmetry relating to two different Calabi–Yau manifolds, known as mirror symmetry, and is best known for his research on the flop transition, a minor part of topology change, revealing that topology in string theory can change at the conifold stage.
Greene's current research focuses on cosmology, particularly the imprints of trans-Planckian physics on the cosmic microwave background, and brane-gas cosmologies, which may reveal why the space around us has three distinct dimensions, expanding on the claim that the electron is a black hole electron.
Greene, a former ABC News producer, co-founded the World Science Festival in 2008, whose aim is to attract a general public informed by science, inspired by curiosity, convinced of its value, and eager to discuss the future's implications.
The World Science Festival's most popular festival in New York City is held in May. The festival has attracted more than 2 million visitors from a variety of museums, galleries, and outdoor venues. According to The New York Times, Stephen Hawking, Edward O. Wilson, Sir Paul Nurse, James Watson, Andrew McGuire, Benjamin Watson, Oliver Sacks, Mary Sacks, Thomas Watson, William Wilson, Margaret Vargas, Stephen Watson, Elizabeth Vargas, Lawrence Lawrence Ferguson, George Hawking, Margaret Vargas, Sir Roger Penrose, Elizabeth Vargas, Joseph T. Jones, Joyce Carol Oates, and Elaine Fuchs were among the festival's highlights.
Greene's work on popularizing theoretical physics, in particular string theory, and the quest for a single unified theory of physics is well known to a large audience. The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory, his first book, which was published in 1999, is a popularization of superstring theory and M-theory. In 2000, it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction and a winner of The Aventis Prize for Science Books. The Elegant Universe was later developed into a PBS television special of the same name, hosted and narrated by Greene, which received the 2003 Peabody Award.
The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and Reality (2004), Greene's second book, The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality (2004), is about space, time, and the universe's origins. Non-local particle entanglement as it pertains to special relativity and general string theory are among the topics discussed in this book. It's an investigation into the very essence of matter and reality, encompassing topics such as spacetime and cosmology, origins and unification, as well as an investigation into reality and imagination. The Cosmos' fabric was later developed into a PBS television special of the same name, hosted and narrated by Greene.
The Hidden Truth: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos, Greene's third book, which was released in January 2011, discusses multiple universes in greater detail, or rather, the multiverse as a whole.
Icarus at the Edge of Time, a futuristic re-telling of the Icarus myth, was published on September 2, 2008. Greene, a New York Times columnist, is a regular op-ed contributor, writing about his research and other scientific topics.
Until the End of Time, Greene's new book is titled Until the End of Time.(Knopf)
Charlie Rose, The Colbert Report, The New York Times, CNN, Time, Nightline in Primetime, and David Letterman's Late Show have all been shown in television interviews, including Charlie Rose, The Colbert Report, The Colbert Report, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, The Century with Peter Jennings, CNN, The United Nations in Primetime. Greene has also assisted John Lithgow with scientific dialogue for the television series 3rd Rock from the Sun and as a technical consultant on the film Frequency, where he also served as a cameo character. He served as a consultant on the 2006 time-travel film Déjà Vu. In 2007, he made a cameo appearance as an Intel scientist in The Last Mimzy. Greene appeared in the 2002 Angel episode "Supersymmetry" and in the 2008 Stargate Atlantis episode "Trio." In April 2011, he appeared on The Big Bang Theory as himself, greeting a small audience about the contents of his latest book.
In more than twenty-five countries, Greene has lectured outside of the university environment, both as general and a technical level. When he received the Richtmyer Memorial Award, which is given annually by the American Association of Physics Teachers, his teaching prowess was recognized.
The Science Laureates of the United States Act of 2013 were announced in May 2013. (H.R.) Congress was inaugurated in 1891 (113th Congress) in 1891. If the legislation were to go into force, Brian Greene was rated by one commentator as a potential candidate for the position of Science Laureate.
Dolomedes briane, an Australian spider that hunts prey by waves, was supposed to be named in honor of Brian Greene in March 2015.
On the BBC radio show The Life Scientific, Jim Al-Khalili spoke to him for a long time.
