I have watched a couple of talks by Greene before, and once again he does a good job of explaining the complicated. This time, how String Theory works.

Brian Greene: Making sense of string theory

Cox presents a good overview of the quantum physics as he talks about the reason for the experiments at the CERN.

He also shares a beautiful “creation story” that pieces together all the beautiful learnings science has brought together in the past several decades.

Shortly predating the discovery of gravitational waves, Adams briefly explains why it matters that we were able to detect the very, very faint echoes of the Big Bang.

Allan Adams: The discovery that could rewrite physics

This news was a big deal recently and Adams tells us why.

Interestingly, we found the gravitational waves because we were exploring the universe in a completely different way. Instead of trying to “see” things like our telescopes do, we were “listening”. This technique will allows us to discover new things about the universe that we would otherwise never be able to know.
