Carlo Rovelli and Brian Greene on Black Holes and White Holes
82,544
Published 2024-03-08
This program is included in a 3-part series that explores the wondrous implications of gravity pushed to the extreme, tackling dark energy, black holes and white holes. Renowned researchers join Brian Greene to discuss a range of insights–from confirmed to highly speculative–that extend Einstein’s vision of reality and advance our understanding of fundamental physical laws.
This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
Participants:
Carlo Rovelli
Moderator:
Brian Greene

I just watched Carlo Rovelli's Royal Institute talk on white holes yesterday and had wondered if he'd be a guest any time soon at World Science Festival. What a pleasant surprise to see this pop up one day later!
-
And what a sweet warm talk it was, love the tiny skirmishing by Carlo attempting to taunt Brian on string😂! How well it ended on the role of mathematics and philosophy in physics. That could also be a next topic of WSF! Thank you
-
As an Italian, I'm proud every time I see Rovelli, apart from when I see his shoes...
-
Dr. Greene the formats of the three videos released on or about 3/9/24 were over far too soon. Hope WSF returns to its longer format and discussions. Thank you for the exceptionally expert guests you invite and the brilliant discussions. What a generous, priceless gift! Look forward to future (hopefully longer, please) episodes and to see the WSF live. May you and all “…live long and prosper…” Prof Greene. ✨

I appreciate the sense of humor.
-
Brian, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your tireless efforts in sharing the beauty and complexity of physics with the world. Your dedication to advancing scientific literacy and fostering a deeper understanding of the cosmos is truly commendable. Thank you Brian!

Brian green is such a good presenter
-
Explaining white holes really helps understanding black holes. Thanks Dr. Greene. An excellent series.
-
Loved this whole series. I agree with other comments that I wished they would have been longer, just because I wanted to keep watching. Thanks so much as always!
-
Mathematics is both the queen and hand maiden of all sciences
-
Too short! Always nice to hear Carlo Rovelli
-
Of all the 3 episodes, this is the most speculative.
-
Please longer videos
-
A good talk and coordination!
-
Excellent point about how long it took before Copernicus' ideas took to be recognized.
-
So. Human mathematical constructs? Yes? No? The universe is a big place. WSF is a great resource for ponderers.
-
Awesome I love these shows where I can go in thinking one thing and come out with my mind changed
-
Was wonderful to meet you when you visited Sydney Brian!
-
This was so fun 😂
-
I can’t express enough how much I enjoy the talks!
