Brian Greene brainwashes students:

"Brian Greene taught an auditorium full of university and high school students how time travel is possible. "At least in principal," Greene said of Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity. "Using (Einstein's) observation about how time behaves for a clock that's moving, if you think it through logically, there is a blueprint for how you go to the future." Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, hypothetically synchronized his watch with attendees of a student forum preceding an evening lecture at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi as part of the Distinguished Speakers Series. Greene then headed off into space, near the speed of light. Greene explained that when traveling near the speed of light, his watch will slow and the audience's will continue its usual pace."

Special relativity does not predict that Greene's watch will slow. It predicts that, as judged by Greene himself, his watch will SPEED UP:
