Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality | A Conversation with Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek

As a 70 year old who was never able to go to college, and lacking math skills beyond basic Algebra, I get a morale boost when a nugget of knowledge tweaks a synapse or two in my ancient noggin. Thanks.

Just couple of generations ago, the average curious person would have to struggle a lot to afford education. You would have to be born in a noble or rich family to be able to study what interests you. The wonders of nature were reserved for those blessed with a wealthy background. Nowadays, literally anybody can open their web browser and watch great minds discussing great questions. These great minds stand on very frontiers of human understanding. Unimaginable amount of money and resources goes into this, and it's all available for free to an average Joe. What a time to be alive.

Dr. Wilczek I have ordered and read your book. I’m a social worker With MA in Social Welfare Policy, BA/BSW in Poli Sci and social work. Target audience hit I would say. I’m reading it twice then passing it on to one of our docs.....now I don’t feel so dumb from a Science perspective so thanks for that. Greatly appreciated!

To speak on Brian’s question at the 20:00 mark of the conversation. I grew up in rural Bible Belt United States raised by a loving wonderful family who happened to be deeply religious and believe things such as the world being only about 20,000 years old etc……the books, lectures, and info given to me by scientists such as Dr Greene and others have enlightened me in indescribable ways…I’m now a science lover and strongly considering attending university for physics so thank you to all that try to empower and encourage those who are interested in the true nature of reality

The point of kids listening to this rings so true. I wish when I was a kid (36 now!) I had YT available. Conversations like this would have been wondrous and made me push through dyscalculia to do the maths.

Its been three weeks without a new episode. An extra week really makes you miss Brian Greene's communication skill. I'm learning so much during the pandemic watching the Live Streams and trying to keep up comprehending the mathematics.

brian greene flys high with knowledge higher than 99 percent of us less educated ppl.. but he talks so every one can understand whats going on, like an advocate of unknown and i love him

Down to earth Nobel laureate . Doesn’t have the airs one would anticipate.Simple soul.

Notifications for these always give me something to look forward to. Thanks Dr. Green, your contribution to the education of the masses is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much Brian Greene for providing the humanity with this amazing video

Frank is just a treat to watch and listen to.

Brian Greene and Frank Wilczek are great physicists!

Great show! Thank you Dr. Greene and Dr.Wilczek. My favourite saying is, it's always impossible until someone does it.

This was amazing. Watched this at 4am during Covid lockdown. What an amazing guy

Thank-you for taking the time to put these videos together for everyone.

SUGGESTION: How about an episode on Quantum Gravity - String Theory vs Loop Quantum Gravity with Professor Carlo Rovelli?

Thank you.both of you.

Brian's illustration at 17:23 is just epic!!!

Thank you Dr. Brian. You simply can't stop amazing us. I absolutely love your material, in all formats..<3 THANK YOU
