New Delhi:
Brian Greene, a renowned theoretical physicist, author and professor of mathematics and physics at Columbia University, who praise the enthusiasm and ambition of Indian students to have a global impact, a renowned theoretical physicist, author and professor in the Columbia.
“The passion for science and innovation that I have seen in India is unparalleled. The energy and curiosity among students here are really inspiring,” said Greene during his visit to the Taj Mahal, as quoted by the Ministry of Culture.
He praised India’s distinctive approach to education and scientific research and emphasized the enthusiasm and ambition of Indian students to have a global impact.
“India is even more beautiful,” noted the former NASA Astronaut Mike Massimino, who observed the country from space.
He expressed his admiration for the aesthetic attraction of India and praised the exceptional craftsmanship of the Taj Mahal and called it proof of the rich legacy of India of Engineering and Design, according to the statement.
Greene and Mike Massimino are currently visiting India and immerse themselves in the rich scientific, educational and cultural heritage of the country.
As part of their visit, they explored the iconic Taj Mahal, where they shared their admiration for the progress of India in Science, Engineering and Craftsmanship, according to the statement.
Greene is celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to the upper theory, including the co-discovery of mirror symmetry and the discovery of changes in spatial topology.
Mike Massimino, a veteran of two NASA room emissions, has been promoted in Mechanical Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is currently mechanical engineering at Columbia University. As the first astronaut tweeting out of space, he played an important role in the exploration of the space, especially in the Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Missions in 2002 and 2009, the Ministry explained.

During his career, Massimino was honored with multiple NASA -space medals, the NASA Distingughed Service Medal and the Flight Achievement Award from the American Astronautical Society. He currently acts as a senior advisor for space programs in the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
“The visit of Greene and Massimino to the Taj Mahal emphasizes the growing influence of India in the global scientific community. Their journey serves as a bridge between India’s historical excellence in craftsmanship and the rapidly advancing role in science and innovation on the world stage,” the Ministry added.
