The Greene Room: Recent Episodes
Denver Greene
I have conversations with my social media friends. I let them choose the topics so they can share whatever they want to. Life experiences, advice, media reviews, anything. Basically it's just an excuse for me to hang out with my old friends.
This week my friend Alex tells me about one possible way the universe might end. This isn't just the end of the Earth, no, this is so much more than that. This is about the end of physics as we know it. We try to keep it light though, so don't worry too much.
