Brian Greene, a professor of mathematics and physics at Columbia University, will discuss his new book, The Hidden Reality (January 2011). His area of research is superstring theory, which purports to give us a quantum theory of gravity as well as a unified theory of all forces and all matter. As such, superstring theory has the potential to realize Einstein's long sought dream of a single, all-encompassing theory of the universe.

Moderator: Walter Isaacson, President and CEO of The Aspen Institute
