Noted Physicist Brian Greene to Speak at NC State
One of the world’s leading physicists, Brian Greene, is coming to speak at North Carolina State University on Monday, January 23. Dr. Greene will be speaking at 6:00 PM in Stewart Theatre of the Talley Student Center on the topic “The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality.”
Dr. Greene has published two popular books on physics and string theory, The Elegant Universe, and The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality. Greene was also the host of the NOVA television series The Elegant Universe.
Dr. Greene is known for his skill in making complicated cutting-edge scientific concepts accessible for a general audience, so the lecture should be interesting and understandable for all.
