Brian Greene is a Grateful Collection of Particles

Clear+Vivid with Alan Alda - A podcast by Alan Alda - Tuesdays

Alan sits down with physicist Brian Greene in front of a virtual audience to talk about how Brian sees himself (and you and me) as nothing more than an ephemeral cluster of particles in a dying universe—and how that gives him a deep sense of gratitude for his own existence. Along with wonder at how other mere collections of particles can compose the 9th Symphony or write Hamlet. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/clearandvivid
