Brian Greene

Brian Greene is a physicist who is considered one of the world's foremost string theorists. As of 2003, he is a professor at Columbia University.

He is the author of , a popularization of superstring and M-theory, and winner of The Aventis Prizes for Science Books in 2000. The book talks about and opens an argument on how Calabi-Yau manifolds, as the multi-dimensional (11D, 16D, 26D) points, comprise our space-time. The Elegant Universe was later made into a PBS television special with Greene as the narrator. His second book, The Fabric of the Cosmos is about space, time, and the nature of the universe.

He graduated in 1980 from Stuyvesant High School in New York City. He received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University and went on to receive his doctorate from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He lives in New York.
