Renowned theoretical physicist, Brian Green, tells an amusing story about the most iconic genius. Albert Einstein was revered for his intelligence, but it doesn't mean he was great at everything.

Greene is the co-founder of the World Science Festival, which has a new initiative called "City of Science" which is a 5-event series. The third event will be taking place in Queens on September 25, 2016. All events will take place in one of New York City's five boroughs throughout this fall.

"City of Science" is free and open to all New Yorkers of all ages. Learn more about where and when it will take place here. You can also follow the events on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
