BEYOND EINSTEIN is a 3-part series that explores the wondrous implications of gravity pushed to the extreme, tackling dark energy, black holes, and white holes. Renowned researchers join Brian Greene to discuss a range of insights–from confirmed to highly speculative–that extend Einstein’s vision of reality and advance our understanding of fundamental physical laws.
Part 1 | Gravitational Rainbows: Much as a gentle mist can split light waves into beautiful rainbows, dark energy may split gravitational waves into deeply revealing gravitational rainbows. Leading researcher Claudia de Rham joins Brian Greene to explore this compelling possibility.

Part 2 | Gravitational Echoes:Just as sound waves can echo off a distant rockface, light waves can echo off of black holes. Renowned researchers Erin Kara and Shep Doeleman join Brian Greene to explore the exotic physics that rules all that happens near the edge of a black hole.

Part 3 | Gravitational Geysers: Progress in the last decade has established that black holes are real, but what about their time-reversed cousins, white holes? Renowned physicist and author Carlo Rovelli joins Brian Greene to explore insights into these speculative astrophysical chimera.
