Brian Greene
I heard most of an interview with Brian Greene on Coast To Coast AM with George Noory earlier this morning.
Greene discussed some of the topics he wrote about in his book, The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos.
Greene wrote The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory too.
Greene also wrote The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality.
