Scott Aaronson, renowned computer scientist known for his no nonsense take on, well, everything, joins Brian Greene to demystify the state of quantum computation, AI, and much more. This program …
Leading researchers in the arena of human enhancement are turning-back the clock by reopening “critical windows” for cognitive and physical development that until recently seemed to permanently close after childhood. Brian …
For all we understand about the universe, 96% of what’s out there still has scientists in the dark. Astronomical observations have established that familiar matter—atoms—accounts for only 4% of the weight of the cosmos. The rest—dark matter and dark energy—is invisible to our telescopes.
Step into the mind of Nobel laureate Alain Aspect, one of the pioneers who turned quantum weirdness into experimental reality. In this conversation with Brian Greene, Aspect retraces the century-long …
Often viewed as “spooky” or downright bizarre, quantum mechanics is fueling a powerful new era of amazing technology. In this program, today’s top quantum physicists discuss the information shake-up underway—and predict when we can expect a quantum computer of our own.
A few decades ago, we knew of no other planets beyond those in our solar system. Today, astronomers have confirmed over 700 planets circling other suns and believe billions more lay undiscovered.
