Hello my friends in podcast land. Welcome back the show. My guest today is Brian Green. He's a theoretical physicist, a mathematician, an author and the director of Columbia University Center for theoretical physics.

Brian is one of the most popular public physicists of our age. He broke the internet and my brain last year when he went on Rogan and I just had to get him on. I'm so happy to be able to present him to you today.

He answers some of the biggest and most fundamental questions that we have about reality. Things like what happens if the universe is infinite? When will time end? What is time? What is the relationship between entropy and evolution? What do people get wrong about the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics? Just how finely tuned for life is our universe? Why does the Planck scale exist? And so many more. You may need to be well rested and caffeinated before this one.

But it actually stopped me from thinking. Some of the insights that Brian gives today just ceased my brain from being able to function for a couple of seconds.

If you love thinking about space and physics and the wider cosmos, you will adore this episode.

In other news, this episode is brought to you by Reebok. I have been selling the dream of the nanos for three and a half years since I first put a pair on. They are the best training shoe that I have ever worn.

The gyms are reopening wherever you are on the planet and you need a proper pair of stable and supportive training shoes and the nanos are the answer.

You may be training in some sort of running shoe or some sort of training shoe, but if it doesn't have the right level of stability and support, you're not going to get the most out of your training.

Your ankles are going to be rolling over outside of your knees when you squat, you're not going to have a flat surface to deadlift on.

Even if you're doing high intensity stuff, plyometrics, body weight movements or anything else, you have to get the shoes right.

You can probably get away with wearing an old t-shirt, but wearing shoes that aren't appropriate are just going to lead to injuries. The nanos are the best shoes that I have ever found to train in.

I haven't used anything else since I first put them on and that's as big of an accolade as I can give anything. On top of that, the 20% discount that Reebok is offering works sight wide across all of their t-shirts, hoodies, tops, leggings, training stuff and everything else.

Simply head to Reebok.co.uk and use the code MW20 for 20% off everything sight wide. This deal is available across all of Europe. So head to Reebok.co.uk and it should redirect you to the Spanish website or the German website or the Northern Irish website, whatever it might be.

Reebok.co.uk and that MW20 code for 20% off everything. If you add something to your basket and you say, this code isn't valid, it's just the wrong colorway, change the colorway and you will get that discount.
