What happens when one of the world’s leading physicists sits down for the final meal of his life? In this episode of Last Meal, I share a dish chosen by Brian Greene—bestselling author, Columbia University professor, and one of the most influential voices in modern physics—as we dive into the ideas, experiences, and turning points that shaped his extraordinary life.
From the nature of reality to the limits of human perception, from the search for meaning to the multiverse and mortality, this conversation blends science, philosophy, and introspection in a way only Brian Greene can. If you’re fascinated by cosmology, consciousness, purpose, storytelling, or simply what truly matters at the end of a life, this is an episode you’ll want to watch in full.
