Top Scientist Reveals You're Praying to Nothing, God Is a Human Invention! - Prof Brian Greene (Video)
In this 17 August 2026 published video, host Steven Bartlett talks with Professor Brian Greene who reveals the biggest questions science still can’t answer, whether we’re living in a simulation, why AI may deserve human rights, and what happens at the end of the universe!
Professor Greene is a theoretical physicist, mathematician, and Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Columbia University, where he also directs the Center for Theoretical Physics. He is a leading researcher in string theory, the co-founder of the World Science Festival, and the bestselling author of several books, including ‘Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe’.
He explains:
- Why most physicists believe time travel into the future is already possible
- Why he believes humans don’t actually have free will
- How string theory could reveal what everything in the universe is really made of
- Why the “Pale Blue Dot” changes how you see your own life and problems
- Why the search for meaning may matter more than finding the answer itself
