This program is included in a 3-part series that explores the wondrous implications of gravity pushed to the extreme, tackling dark energy, black holes and white holes. Renowned researchers join Brian Greene to discuss a range of insights–from confirmed to highly speculative–that extend Einstein’s vision of reality and advance our understanding of fundamental physical laws.

Mather delivered this year's "On the Shoulders of Giants" address, honoring the generations of groundbreaking scientists furthering Newton's observation that “If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” With this discussion, the World Science Festival invites audiences to stand on the shoulders of a modern-day giant, John Mather.

Breathtaking images from the James Webb Space Telescope are providing new clues about the formation of stars, galaxies, and even the universe itself, while also raising tantalizing mysteries. Nobel Laureate John Mather, the Webb Telescope's chief scientist, joins Brian Greene and other leading astronomers and astrophysicists to discuss the latest findings and grapple with some of the deep puzzles that are emerging from the telescope's remarkable new images.
This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
The live program was presented at the 2023 World Science Festival Brisbane, hosted by the Queensland Museum.

In the next two decades, human beings will return to the moon, set foot on Mars, and launch telescopes capable of detecting extraterrestrial life. NASA’s outgoing head scientist Thomas Zurbuchen oversaw much of the planning for these projects, and space agencies around the world are pursuing similar goals collaboratively. Brian Greene is joined by Zurbuchen, Japan's Masaki Fujimoto, Europe's Kirsten MacDonnell and Australia's Aude Vignelles, as they reveal their plans for what promises to be a New Golden Age of Space Exploration.

Human enhancement has long been depicted as having the potential to help but also harm humanity. Brian Greene talks with Neuroscientists Takao Hensch, John Krakauer and Entrepreneur Brett Wingeier about their experiments using brain plasticity to heal illness, improve cognitive and athletic performance. They also raise warning flags about the race to build a more perfect human.

Visual illusions, from magic tricks to images that have sparked internet feuds, are providing scientists with evolving insight into the complex act of seeing. Illusions play with the way our eyes and our brains work together and help establish that what we “see” is shaped by everything from light and eye movement to the influence of expectation, memory and desire.
Neuroscientists Susana Martinez-Conde and Rodrigo Quian Quiroga and psychologist Emily Balcetis are among those using illusions to catch the brain in the act of interpreting and sometimes misinterpreting what the eye takes in. In conversation with Brian Greene, they discuss illusions involving everything from celebrity photos to police dash cam tapes to mind bending images that broke the internet.
