Top Scientist REVEALS: AI Could Be The Next Einstein, Robots Will Deserve Rights!

Theoretical physicist Brian Greene joins Steven Bartlett to explore the frontiers of physics and philosophy. The conversation spans string theory, the simulation hypothesis, and whether AI could develop consciousness deserving of rights. Greene explains why most physicists accept that time travel into the future is already possible, why he rejects the idea of free will, and how contemplating cosmic timescales reshapes our understanding of meaning and mortality.
