At least a few months ago--I think within the past year--I read online an interview with Brian Greene in which he was cited as saying physics is the greatest of all human endeavors. I need a quote from it for a paper I'm writing. I searched for the article, but I can't find it. I believe the interview was from a popular mass media source (something like The New York Times?). Can anyone please help me find it? The other aspects of the interview I remember are:
  • It occurred in his apartment in New York City.
  • He apologized for only having bottled water for the interviewer.
  • The end of the article said something about him returning to what he does best: solitary physics research.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Don't think so

Are those it? I'm sorry for the wait.
I'm pretty sure The Morning News one is not it. It's hard to tell whether The Atlantic one is it without paying for it.

I really appreciate your trying to help me with this. I would appreciate any more possibilities you find.

No, those aren't it, either. But thank you very much for your help!
 
I recall this Interview, but I cannot recall the media that I saw it, but give me a couple of days and I will see what I remember.
