The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows people to engage with scientific discoveries. Through discussions, debates, theatrical works, interactive explorations, musical performances, intimate salons, and major outdoor experiences, the Festival takes science out of the laboratory and into the streets, parks, museums, galleries and premier performing arts venues of New York City and beyond.
Mission: Our mission is to cultivate and sustain a general public informed by the content of science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.

Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, phrased in terms of warps and curves in space and time, provides our most refined description of the gravitational force. Join Brian Greene for a visual exploration of Einstein's most profound discovery and the equations he triumphantly announced in 1915.
In his general theory of relativity, Einstein described gravity in terms of the curvature of space and time. Join Brian Greene for an introduction to the mathematics of curvature, which Einstein used to fashion his gravitational field equations.
In 1918, the phenomenal German mathematician Emmy Noether discovered a deep link between symmetries and conserved quantities, which has proven to be one of the most influential mathematical results in the development of physical laws. Join Brian Greene for an explanation of Noether's insight and the mathematical argument--in the simplest case--establishing that it is true.
Classical and Quantum Physics describe reality in completely different ways. Yet, in 1927, Paul Ehrenfest showed how Newton's equation could be derived from Schrödinger's, establishing a deep continuity in our understanding of the physical universe. Join Brian Greene for a brief explanation of Ehrenfest's essential idea as well as the mathematical manipulations he required to realize it.
Simple arithmetic problems go viral with people proposing all sorts of different answers. It speaks to an important concept--the order of various operations matters--but, as Brian Greene discusses, is often taught in a less-than-inspirational way in the classroom (and also differs markedly from the approach of professionals). Watch this episode of YDE and let Brian know whether you agree with his assessment.
Albert Einstein and his colleagues Podolsky and Rosen proposed a simple way to rid quantum mechanics of its most disturbing feature--called non-locality--in which an action undertaken here can affect the result of a measurement undertaken there, even if here and there are far apart. John Bell came up with a way to test Einstein's vision of reality, ultimately showing that Einstein's vision was wrong.
When matter meets antimatter, the particles annihilate. So, in our evolving universe why is there any matter left over? Today Brian Greene discusses the recent news of neutrino asymmetry found in the T2K experiment taking place in Japan. For an in-depth discussion, check out Brian's discussion with leading researchers, "The Matter of Antimatter," https://youtu.be/qMMgsjnI1is
Episode 19 #YourDailyEquation: Euler-Lagrange Equations: The Least Action Principle
In 1927, Werner Heisenberg derived his Uncertainty Principle, establishing that there are qualities of the world, such as the position and the speed of a particle, that can not be known simultaneously. Join Brian for an intuitive explanation of this most famous of all quantum insights, as well as a discussion of the underlying mathematical equation. As you'll see, surprisingly, the key equation was known all the way back in the 1800s.
Newton's law of gravitation determines the trajectories of the planets and explains the patterns in their motion found by Kepler. In this episode, Brian explains the basics of planetary orbits, while also giving a nod to conic sections and the dimensionality of space.

Much as matter, however complicated, can be decomposed into combinations of atoms, mathematical functions, however complicated, can be decomposed into combinations of simpler functions--sines and cosines. In this episode of Your Daily Equation, Brian discusses this remarkable discovery of Joseph Fourier, which has profound applications in both math and physics.
The Planck scale is often described as the arena in which both quantum mechanical and gravitational effects come into play. The Planck length is tiny (compared to the sizes of everyday things) and the Planck mass is huge (compared to the mass/energy of elementary particles). In this episode of Your Daily Equation, join Brian to understand where the Planck values come from.

The revolutionary new idea of quantum mechanics is that reality evolves through a game of chance described by probabilities. In today's episode of Your Daily Equation, Brian explains the origin of this iconic quality and describes the equation that expresses it mathematically.
Particles and waves collide in quantum physics. In today's episode of Your Daily Equation, Brian discusses the famous double slit experiment and explains the formula that connects particles and waves: the DeBroglie wavelength equation.
Euler's Identity is widely viewed as the most beautiful of all mathematical equations, combining a handful of disparate fundamental quantities into a single mathematical formula. In this episode of Your Daily Equation, Brian derives the identity, one that is second to none in capturing the poetry of mathematics.
