Three, two, one. Brian Green, ladies and gentlemen, how are you, sir?

Good, thank you, how are you doing this man?

I've enjoyed your work for many, many, many years, so I really appreciate you coming in here.

Well, thank you. Appreciate that. And like I was telling you, I just started you coming in. Well, thank you.

I appreciate that. And like I was telling you, I just started your new book.

And how's it going?

It's going well.

It hasn't confused the shit out of me yet, but I know it's coming.

It will be coming.

No doubt.

No doubt. With all your work work so the beginning of time the

beginning of the universe to the end that's essentially what you're

summarizing yeah that's the that's the backdrop to the entire narrative of the book.

I basically want the reader to get a feel for the whole thing.

How it started, how things like you and me rise up, how consciousness emerges, issues

of free will and whether we have it and then on to the future.

What's going to happen to us and the world and the universe as time

elapses to the far far future. It's I'm just getting to the part where you're

talking about how entropy and evolution sort of commingle to create life and

when you think of entropy a lot of people think of something dissolving into chaos

yeah exactly but that's the not necessarily case. It's only part of the story. I mean entropy kind of gets a bad rap, right? It's a thing that you want to avoid, but somehow the laws of physics don't allow you to avoid it. It's this disintegration, it's this decay, it's this

drive toward disorder, and that's kind of true. But the reality of the situation is more subtle
