EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Brian Greene, Joe Rogan Experience #1428 - Brian Greene explores cosmos, consciousness, and meaning: Brian Greene’s expansive Rogan conversation Joe Rogan and physicist Brian Greene explore the universe from the Big Bang to the far future, using Greene’s book *Until the End of Time* as the backbone. They unpack entropy, the emergence of life and consciousness, free will, and the ultimate fate of matter and thought itself. The discussion repeatedly returns to human meaning-making: death anxiety, religion, myth, creativity, psychedelics, and meditation as ways we cope with impermanence. Along the way they touch on multiverses, alien life, quantum weirdness, education, and how personal experiences—from grief to bad trips—shape Greene’s views on science and spirituality.
