[laughter] >> well, you know, i just want to -- i mean, we just had brian greene up here. he's one of the most cosmic conceptualizers and thinkers. did you think the universe of yogurt was just a universe of -- i mean, at the time -- i mean, again, you're clearly successful. but one of the questions is, i remember the yogurt. i liked yogurt then. i remember greek yogurt coming online and taking on more and more. it is interesting that a turkish guy is making greek yogurt. >> only in america. [laughter] >> yeah, only in america. you go back to istanbul and -- does that play well in turkey? >> no, no. the turks are angry, the greeks are angry, the turkish are angry -- >> we were going to come out here and take a selfie with all of you and then tweet everyone. but in any case, it is a big thing. but i mean, when i began thinking about talking to you today, i didn't know, where did you steal the market from? when you look at the absolute dollars out there for this sort of product, there's some finite null. i didn't know whether you were displacing velveeta cheese or displacing

wilson and brian greene and michio kaku. but given the size of that science frontier, we need many more. and so i'm disappointed that i'm sitting there alone with that kind of distinction. >> hinojosa: so when i was growing up, the most famous scientist was carl sagan. >> yeah. oh, yeah. >> hinojosa: and you actually got a chance to meet him, hang out with him, exchange ideas with him. >> totally. >> hinojosa: you were extraordinarily inspired by him. >> yeah, i already knew i wanted to be a scientist, so that's not the link that mattered there. there i was in high school, already knowing that when i grew up i wanted to be an astrophysicist, something i've known since age 11. and my application to cornell university, it was, like, dripping with the universe, because there's all... i had a telescope, i was in the club, i... you know. and so cornell accepted me, but then they want you to come if they accept you, right? but i hadn't decided yet. and they, little did i know, forwarded my application to carl sagan's office, and c

next, a discussion on the origins of the universe with brian greene, the author of such "otes as "the elegant universe and "the fabric of the con -- fabric of the cosmos your code this is 25 minutes. >> the universe parts. brian greene has written "the elegant universe," "icarus on the edge of time," which i love, and "the hidden reality. the trio of books that deal with multi-verses, the fabric of the cosmos, relativity. we are supposed to -- within 20 minutes give you the whole story of the cosmos and the universe. brian, let's begin at the beginning. how did it again? >> good question. we don't know. but we have some ideas. is that it expanded? >> the most refined idea, which in my opinion no means -- by no means confirms it, it is about inflationary cosmology, which tries to enter into a more refined version of the question -- how did it begin? that the universe is expanding. observations support that. what got the observations started? in theory it is that gravity itself is the culprit. even though the gravity we are familiar with attracts and pulls things together, einstein's th

greene and spoke about how scientists study that issue and the nature of space itself. >> in the beginning, it was hot, really hot, and as the universe expanded, the heat was spread out and it cooled down. and you can calculate how cold it should be today and it's about 2.7 degrees above absolute zero. so that's the temtu space. not when there are sources like stars nearby. that's the temperature. but go one step further and not just talk the average temperature but calculate how the temperature should vary from place and it should vary on the order of a degree. tiny variation and you can do these precise measurements and see the temperature variation in just a pattern that the math present difficulties. what do you mean when you call something called the fabric of the cosmos? >> it's a hard question. is space really a thing or just a useful concept in order to organize our perceptions of reality. you are over there. you are further away in space. the tablets get further. is it allows me to articulate locations or is space really a thing? and no one knows the answer to that. but different

--spoke about how scientists physics professor brian greene. he spoke about how scientists study it. here is more. [video clip] beginning, it was hot, really hot. and as the universe expanded, it cooled down. you can calculate how cold it about be today, and it is 2.7 degrees above absolute zero. that is the temperature of deep space, not when there are sources like stars nearby. but when you are indeed empty space, that is the temperature. but you can go one step further and not just calculate the average temperature, but how it should very from place to place. -- how it shouldvary from place byplace, and it should very 1000th of a degree. a tiny variation. temperaturethe variation in just the pattern that the mathematics predicts. >> what you mean when you call something the fabric of the cosmos? >> that is a hard question. , or ise really a thing it just a useful concept in order to organize our perceptions of our reality. you are over there. you are further away in space. the table is yet further. is the the vocabulary that allows me to art
