In this exclusive Sessions interview, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. Brian Greene discuss his journey into mathematics from a young age, the love of classic literature he fostered in college, and how understanding comes by engaging with multiple languages of thought and study.

Dr. Brian Greene is an American physicist known for his research on string theory. He is a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and the chairman of the World Science Festival, which he co-founded in 2008. Dr. Greene has worked on mirror symmetry, relating two different Calabi–Yau manifolds (concretely relating the conifold to one of its orbifolds). He also described the flop transition, a mild form of topology change, showing that topology in string theory can change at the conifold point.
