What is our place in the cosmic unfolding? How did we come to be, and where are we ultimately going in the grand scheme of time? These are some of the deepest existential questions that the renowned theoretical physicist and best-selling author Brian Greene explored in his Starmus talk.
Mr Greene looks at the process and principles that help us understand our place within the vastness of the cosmos and examines whether we can understand what lead to what he calls the cosmological, or cosmic, unfolding. In doing so, Mr Greene also considers whether these principles offer insights into not just our past, but also our future.
Here's where three e's – entropy, evolution and eternity – come into play. How exactly? Find out in Mr Greene's talk where he explores the role of time and entropy in shaping everything from the cosmos to human existence. He weaves together complex scientific ideas in a way that is equal parts thought-provoking, accessible and poetic.
