Five people fight each other until Ed Witten brings this Mystery dancer into the middle and they hold hands and begin to dance around him? I think my choreography is as bad as my physics. Thanks for the interview, by the way! A modern dance version of ‘The Elegant Universe’…

I think my choreography is as bad as my physics.

Thanks for the interview, by the way!

Thanks. What a pair! Colbert so quick, e.g., the comment on Alda and the LHC and Greene so comfortable, able to judo Colbert's comments to make a point and clearly enjoying it all. I agree with Harold. Greene's laugh alone is worth the watch and listen. I'm so glad that we have chances like this to see a pretty good scientist--a statement of high regard since this is Wobegone territory--loving this kind of banter. Colbert's summary of string theory made me laugh. Perfect for this program. Cheers. I’d have missed this had it not been for you. Thanks. What a pair!

I think Brian Greene did a wonderful job conveying his enthusiasm to the general public, and Colbert handled the interview well- especially the lighthearted remark on how String Theory is hard to test since that is probably what the typical audience of his shows would want to ask. Brian Greene has such a wonderful laugh! Thank you for this post!
