Correction: Brian Greene is a Hollywood Star

hollywood starClifford Johnson/Cosmic Variance

In my review of Peter Woit’s “Not Even Wrong”, I joked that string theorist Brian Greene once seemed poised for the leap to Hollywood stardom. But as nitin pointed out in a comment, Greene already is, technically, a Hollywood star. Clifford Johnson found out and wrote about it at Cosmic Variance. If you think his post is a hoax just because it appeared on April 1, check the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce’s official Walk of Fame directory :-)

  1. Gimmee an “E”!

    Maybe they saved his last “e” for another star.

  2. The hollywood walk of fame directory does not list “Brian Greene” or “Brian Green” (though, Buzz, the final E is perfectly visible).
