The Fabric of the Cosmos
Acclaimed physicist Brian Greene reveals a mind-boggling reality beneath the surface of our everyday world.
“The Fabric of the Cosmos,” a four-hour series based on the book by renowned physicist and author Brian Greene, takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time, and the universe. With each step, audiences will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience lies a world we’d hardly recognize—a startling world far stranger and more wondrous than anyone expected.
Brian Greene is going to let you in on a secret: We’ve all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe—that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists—just might be wrong.
Interweaving provocative theories, experiments, and stories with crystal-clear explanations and imaginative metaphors like those that defined the groundbreaking and highly acclaimed series “The Elegant Universe,” “The Fabric of the Cosmos” aims to be the most compelling, visual, and comprehensive picture of modern physics ever seen on television.

Marvelous! Thank you. Just finished reading Hyperspace by Michio Kanu. Little old (1994) but a good history lesson on Faraday, Riemann, Yang-Mills etc. No action-at-a-distance but rather geometry equals force. Fascinating.

Point well made by you.
I concede the issue!!!
LOL
A couple of weeks ago you reminded me about Brian Greene’s Fabric of the Cosmos. I watched the series and am just finishing the book now. Sometimes I forget about the wildly wonderful world we live in.
God bless the Lord for the universe we live in.
And thanks for reminding me about Brian Greene!
