Brian Greene wins 2003 Gemant Award from AIP

JAN 02, 2003
For eloquently and accurately interpreting the central concerns of a large body of active and profound physics research to the general public and to fellow physicists specializing in other fields. His book, The Elegant Universe, skillfully describes the exhilaration and frustrations of those who probe the ultimate nature of space, time, and matter. Greene’s work and public lectures have made some of the most sophisticated concepts viscerally accessible and thoroughly entertaining, bringing us to a closer understanding of how the universe works.
