Theoretical physicist and science educator Professor Brian Greene will tour Australia



Professor Brian Greene will tour Australia and New Zealand, inspiring audiences to seek solace in the immense beauty of our universe.


World-Renowned Theoretical Physicist, Professor Brian Greene, to inspire audiences on his Australian and New Zealand Tour in March & April 2023


Think Inc. is proud to present Professor Brian Greene, the highly respected theoretical physicist and science educator, as he embarks on a tour across Australia and New Zealand in March & April 2023.. The tour will feature fireside conversations in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Auckland, where Brian will discuss our universe's immense beauty and answer some of the most challenging and existential questions of our time.


Brian will also be sharing insights from his latest book, Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe, which tells the history of our universe from start to predicted end. Through his storytelling, he will remind us that while the pandemic has been a significant challenge, it is just a small blip on the timeline of our universe, which has endured periods of both peace and chaos.


As a co-founder of the World Science Festival and the Director of Columbia University’s Center for Theoretical Physics, Brian has made groundbreaking discoveries in superstring theory, including the co-discovery of mirror symmetry and spatial topology change. He is also a prolific author whose books, The Elegant Universe, The Fabric of the Cosmos, and The Hidden Reality, have collectively sold over 2 million copies worldwide and spent 65 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The Washington Post has hailed him as “the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the world today.”


Think Inc. is excited to bring The Twilight of Time with Professor Brian Greene to audiences in Australia and New Zealand. Join Brian live on stage in March & April 2023 to learn about the story of our universe, from its beginning to the closest science can take us to its end.
