Introduction ACTP Analysis

Attention-Getter: Very Good
I do not know if it is just me but just by his deep, clear voice gets my attention. Greene starts by telling a historic story about Kaluza, a mathematician who theorized that the are more dimentions in space than the naked eye can see.(That seems very interesting). He talks about famous scientists(Einstein, Newton) that everyone knows and asks questions about them and questions that are related to them to keep attention. He uses very easy to understand visuals that helps his explanation of his presentation context. And from time to time, he puts in simple jokes to keep the audience "awake." He uses questions when he wants to change the topic he wants to talk about.

Credibility: Not included

Topic: It is clearly stated that he is going to talk about a theory of a extra dimention of space which has been affecting the field of physics in the last century. In the middle of his presentation, he states that the theory is talking about is the "Super String Theory."

Preview of Points: At the beginning, he does not give the preview of his points but as he wants to change the topic and points in his presentation, he asks the audience questions to make them think and to also refreshen their minds and move on to a new claim.
