Brian Greene is a physicist who has been working on quantum gravity and unified theories for nearly two decades. His books, The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos, both spent six months on The New York Times bestsellers list and have received much critical acclaim.  The Elegant Universe, which recounts how the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics transformed our understanding of the universe, introduces us to string theory. The Elegant Universe was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and the winner of the 2000 Aventis Prize for Science Books. In the Fall of 2003, Dr. Greene hosted the three-part NOVA special The Elegant Universe, which won an Emmy Award and a 2004 Peabody Award for broadcast excellence.
