The renowned physicist explores how time and entropy shape the evolution of the universe, the nature of existence, and the eventual fate of everything, including humanity

What is our place in the cosmic unfolding? How did we come to be, and where are we ultimately going in the grand scheme of time? These are some of the deepest existential questions that the renowned theoretical physicist and best-selling author Brian Greene explored in his Starmus talk.
Mr Greene looks at the process and principles that help us understand our place within the vastness of the cosmos and examines whether we can understand what lead to what he calls the cosmological, or cosmic, unfolding. In doing so, Mr Greene also considers whether these principles offer insights into not just our past, but also our future.
Here’s where three e’s – entropy, evolution and eternity – come into play. How exactly? Find out in Mr Greene’s talk where he explores the role of time and entropy in shaping everything from the cosmos to human existence. He weaves together complex scientific ideas in a way that is equal parts thought-provoking, accessible and poetic.
ESET’s commitment to promoting scientific innovation and progress is seen in its ongoing efforts to foster a deep appreciation for science, celebrate the power of groundbreaking research, and connect with leading thinkers in technology and science. ESET recently partnered with Starmus, the global science communication festival, and brought its 7th edition to Bratislava, Slovakia, in May 2024.
The festival featured a number of thought-provoking perspectives from some of the planet’s foremost thinkers. You can now relive the experience from the comfort of your home and get a taste of how the power of technology is being harnessed to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing the world today.
