PBS Explores Fabric of the Cosmos in November

Brian Greene - author and physicistThis November, the PBS science series NOVA will tackle some of the most fundamental concepts of the universe. Together with theoretical physicist Brian Greene, the series will present a 4-part documentary exploring the key physics concepts of space and time, when it translates Greene's 2005 book The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality for the small screen.

In 2003, Greene collaborated with NOVA to turn his bestseller The Elegant Universe into a documentary about string theory, which earned the 2003 Peabody Award.

The new series will broadcast on PBS channels across the country, first airing on Wednesday evenings:

What is Space? - 11/2 airdateThe Illusion of Time - 11/9 airdateQuantum Leap - 11/16 airdateUniverse or Multiverse? - 11/23 airdate

You can hear Greene himself talk about the series on NPR's Science Friday podcast from the first hour of the show on October 28. (Here's a direct link to the MP3.)
