Brian Greene

Brian Randolph Greene (born February 9, 1963) is an American theoretical physicist, mathematician, and string theorist. He has been a professor at Columbia University since 1996 and chairman of the World Science Festival since co-founding it in 2008.

Не бих казал, че Брайън Грийн пише достъпно и съм сигурен, че писанията му са предназначени именно за "читатели с научна подготовка." Не казвам, че струнната теория е лесна за разбиране, и че може да бъде написана на достъпен език и за обикновения читател, но макар и любител на квантовата механика, това четиво определено ме затрудни в много моменти. Но все пак науката е трудно нещо и не е за всеки. Смятам да прочета и останалите му книги. Вярвам, че другите ще са написани на по-достъпен език за нас любителите.
