He is one of the world’s leading theoretical physicists and a brilliant, entertaining communicator of cutting-edge scientific concepts.  The Washington Post described him as “the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the world today.”=0A=0AIn The Elegant Universe he recounted how the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics transformed our understanding of the universe, and introduced us to string theory, a concept that might be the key to a unified theory of the universe.  The book sold more than a million copies and became an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning NOVA special that he hosted.=0A=0AHis second book, The Fabric of the Cosmos, spent 6 months on The New York Times bestseller list and was adapted into a 4-part NOVA mini-series broadcast in November 2011.

The World Science Festival, co-founded by Greene, premiered in New York City in the Spring of 2008 as an annual celebration of science that brings together great minds in science, business, government and the arts.
