From an 11 year gap since this presentation was published, the changes in knowledge are fascinating.
Watching Cox makes me happy.
Watch don`t Suck.
It makes people uncomfortable, when we have to see that.
@@decadent. Dude that's 8 years ago.

A perfect afternoon Brian and Jim my favourite physicists and the sun is shining. What a great day
There are many angry and grumpy scientists and professors everywhere nowadays but Professor Brian Cox is amazingly different.
He is a great physicist.
🙄 🤔
Probably....
Don't really know of an angry, grumpy person in science. You may be conflating characters created by media and or the arts.
His positive personality is infectious. He makes science itself happy even!
lol. yeah, sure.
11 years old and still incredibly enjoyable, thanks.
How do their brains fit in their heads? Astounding!
I listen to both these gentlemen for hours and am a dropout, they are fascinating.
Exactly !
Now you’ve grown and found things you enjoy thinking about! There is so much fun in learning…
It's impossible to dislike this guy. He just seems so awesome in every possibly way.
With that permanent grin he is a laxative
I
Whoa!
Yes… like Carl Sagan & Richard Feynman…all love science & can communicate their ideas and love…
Jim is the best Tv science presenter by far. The history of experiments is the best way of showing what's going on in Physics, Chemistry etc.
Oh a hidden gem! Two of my favourite scientists - awesome.
Isn't it just? 😊
Mine too!! They are also really good to teach science to the people.
Exactly what I thought when I found this tonight! Where has it been hiding?! :)
me too!!
Brian is infectious. His enthusiasm and energy is a joy to watch.
He's right at 13:00, science should be part of popular culture, but it takes someone like himself and/or Neil deGrasse Tyson (in the US) to make science palatable to the masses. Both of these guys are natural TV personalities; entertaining and capable of translating technical language into plain English. We just need a few more of these guys.
Its a conundrum for sure. Scientists tend not to be very camera ready or extraverted... and i doubt we can do much about that.
I think though that the 'citizen science' presenters online could step up to the plate a little more. Or maybe do more interviews with actual scientists online.
For example Joe Scott who is by no means a scientist does a really good job at raising topics for discussion.
Jim & Brian Cox's lectures on science broaden my thoughts and light my ways for future.
Jim's docs are outstanding, and Cox's new series 'wonders of life' is awesome.
I told my father that I like to think that there are professors out there who are more intelligent than me. My father said "Well there are, and that's a fact!"
I am a bit worried that I might be cleverer than everyone else!
I don't want to be! I hate standing out!
I'd love to have my mind and brain completely wasted in subjects I know about by far better brains than myself!
I watched wonders of life
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Trash more like it
Love how he narrates his shows, clear precise and with someone with a interest starting out on the subject very understandable. Its hard not to love him and his shows.
@Mick Ronson he is a perfectly normal-looking man from Lancashire.
Jim and Brian Cox are two of my fav Science presenters at the moment. Carl Sagan and Sir Patrick Moore are my two all time favourites. Cosmos and The Sky at Night were unmissable viewing while growing up.
I recommend the new cosmos series - hosted by Neil De Grasse Tyson.
Twinkle twinkle little star....Brian Cox, how I wonder how wonderful you are?
A genuinely nice man. Met him twice and he remembered my name the second time. Class act.
You must have impressed him. Keep right on with everyone else.
It's only 2 letters long ffs
@@colindixon9916 Touché 🤣
Two outstanding educators and presenters of science. Great video, more of the same please.
Love Prof Cox he's always iteresting and upbeat, with a great smile.
Brilliant interview
thankyou university of Surrey.. this is great! 🙂
ten years ago!?
Brilliant interview. 😁 his career path is a great story.
Keyboard Player☑️ Sound Engineer☑️ Record Deal☑️ split band up with fight in Germany☑️ Joins D:Ream Pop group ☑️ Top of the pops appearances ☑️ Support Take That ☑️ Become Theoretical Physicist.
he's very soothing to watch.
Aren't they lovely, nice, intelligent people!
The Secret Life of Chaos, easily ranks alongside Cosmos as one of the most relevant documentary's of our time.
Brian cox is a truly amazing guy. I think he should be the face on our money :)
What a treat. To stand in the same room as them listening to them discuss the various facets of such a lovely subject.
Both good at exploring and explaining how to use mathematics and physics to understand our world.
If they want, I can make a rainbow with a garden hose.
At our current empirical understanding there is nothing more fundamental then science for our chance to survive as a species✌🏾
Brian Cox is a dude!! I'm not at all Scientific myself but I could sit and listen to his ideas for hours. I love all he shows. The man's a inspiration.
David Attenborough, JimAl-Khalili and Brian Cox influenced me greatly to subscribe to National Geography, Discovery channel and Eden...since then, its been a wild ride!!
Brian eludes a confidence and knowledgeable of expertise in science. He should not have to defend this , it speaks for its self.
The only Man I know that keeps the amazing wonder that is science , totally within the GRASP of Children. They are Our Future and Investment. We are only custodians of this Planet. Children will take Our DNA and knowledge into the FUTURE. X Mark 💞
I could listen to Brian all day
So Brian was a keyboard player for a pop band as well as doing a PhD in physics at the same time! WOW!
Brian May - Queen lead guitarist, has a PhD in Astronomy and physics! On 17 November 2007, May was appointed Chancellor of Liverpool John Moore's University. Clever guy!
Thanks for the reply, Adam!
Brian May ( b.1947 ) like Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson ( b.1958 ) has been claimed to be a polymath.
Some pop / rock brains!
Bruce Dickinson is a heavy metal singer and songwriter, airline pilot, record producer, author, television presenter and has been or still is one of the world's best competitive fencers. He is a businessman too and is if all this isn't enough, a devoted family man! WOW!
He achieved 3 A-Levels from school in History, English and Economics.
I thought Brian Harold May had a PhD in astrophysics and an MA in mathematics. I think he has achieved 12 O-Levels and I think, 4 A-Levels! He has written the songs Hammer to Fall, Tie Your Mother Down and Fat Bottomed Girls for the rock group Queen.
You may already know this but each of the original band members of Queen had a degree.
Paul Simon ( b.1941 ) and Art Garfunkel ( b.1941 ) are exceptionally clever too!
Paul Fredrick Simon has a degree in English literature, studied law at university, and whether IQ is nonsense or not, has an IQ of 155! As well as writing the poem / song The Sound of Silence' among other masterpieces.
Arthur Garfunkel studied architecture, has a BA in art history and an MA in mathematics. He is an avid reader and bibliophile and is an established singer, poet and actor.
Jim Morrison ( 1943 - 1971 ) had an IQ of 140 and was a very well read person who loved strange and unusual literature, as well as being a poet.
And despite the name, the band members of The Zombies were all college or university students, I think, one if I am right? becoming or training to be a medical doctor?
With Best Wishes!
Cheers - Mike.
Do you live in Australia, Adam?
Was Brian May appointed chancellor of Liverpool's John Moore's University partly or mainly due to his fame as a celebrity though, although I am not disputing the fact he is brilliant!
Just for fun, Adam!
To put pretty much every single brain who has ever lived into perspective, although he is NOT a pop or rock star, consider -
Professor, John von Neumann ( 28 December, 1903 - 8 February, 1957 )
Hungarian-American, Jewish Pure and Applied Mathematician, Physicist, Inventor, Computer Scientist and Polymath.
He made major contributions to a number of different fields including -
MATHEMATICS
Foundations of Mathematics, Functional Analysis, Ergodic Theory, Geometry, Topology and Numerical Analysis.
PHYSICS
Quantum Mechanics, Hydrodynamics and Quantum Statistical Mechanics.
ECONOMICS
Game Theory
COMPUTING
von Neumann Architecture, Linear Programming, Self Replicating Machines and Stochastic Computing
STATISTICS
He was a Translator, Polyglot, Chemist, Amateur Historian and Mathematical Prodigy who at the age of 8 could divide two-8 digits numbers in his head, and was fluent in Ancient Greek!
Cheers - Mike.
How did I not know about this?? My two favorite science communicators 1 on 1...
What a charming chat! Brian Cox is a pleasure to listen. I don't have a science playlist, so I put this on my "Nature & Evolution" RUclips Playlist.
I love Brian xxx
I knew there was a reason I loved Brian Cox. He's a Beatles man....
Hair cut gives it away? 😋
@Erik Ray Uh, OK, I'll take your word for it....
wo0t my favorite two professors.. you know i wish they could teach me at college.. i bet the subject will be very clear and easy because of them

If you do . You will react one of two ways .
1 Cognitive dissonance . This cannot be true . "Uncle Brian is nothing like Emmanuel Goldstein . He would not lie ..."
2 WTF !! The world is much more interesting and mysterious than we have been told.
That was a brilliant and extreamly nerdy way to spend 90 mins

Travel outside of your bubble and all these ridiculous questions of yours will be answered. Seriously, for your own sake man. For your kids if you ever have a family..
Fascinating coverage, even though I watched Brian meets Jim first.
A true scientist is one who both accepts criticism and is able to convey facts with backing (and argument) from colleagues. Brian Cox is one of the many good science communicators of our age who has shown amazing resilience and understand of science. I think Carl Sagan and his contemporaries did an awesome job in bringing out the modern science communicator for our benefit and for the advancement of science. I look forward to future generations who will benefit from Brian and lead the future of this great endeavour.
two excellent communicators of science, science is all we need in the real world. I believe in the future education, and especially scientific education will unite all humans, then we can begin living as we should always have, without superstition and shady institutions causing suffering. Shine on Brian and Jim.
Cox a brilliant teacher-communicator
Love how someone asked if they'd do another show together and how they were marvelous on the time travel show they did (which they hadn't done at this point). Except 2 years after this interview (in 2013) they do actually do a doctor who show about time travel :).. So someone was VERY insightful indeed!
Once upon a time there was a post on RUclips complaining about our Brian's eternal smile. I defended him by explaining that it was either a healthy diet, three orgasms a day, or, high cheek-bones. Then ... wait for it ... I added - "I'll have what he's having." Seriously, I've never stolen a joke ... until now. Forgive.
I love him he's passionate about his work... And he's really easy on the eyes....
katarose4 ok Karen..
Michael Steven its 6 years ago leave her alone😂
Do you still flick your bean over him?
@@Chief_Brody cheeky
Genuinely great guy with a passion for everything positive in the World.

I was afraid that Brian's carrier is in danger and maybe this interview is the final attempt from Jim to slow him down.... :))))
But I was wrong! Very good to see that things are controlled very well by Jim who does give a great care of the vibrations of the universe even in a situation like this...
:)
This was a fantastic talk! Glad to see it online finally :)
This needs to be in more people’s recommendations
Went to Brian meets Jim yesterday, was an amazing event
1:10:30
A Higgs Boson particle goes into a church and the vicar says "We don't want your sort in here." The Higgs Boson particle says "But you can't have mass without me!".
1:10:30
Rene Descartes walks into a sandwich bar and says "I'll have a chicken bap please." The guy behind the counter says "I can't give you that but you can have a turkey baguette." Rene Descartes says "Oh, I think not." and disappears.
He has inspired me and i love his passion for science and how he simplifies everything and how down to earth he is.
The band was called Dare, they were a decent rock band. These two are great, always interesting and watchable.
Very very good interview! Professor Jim is a great interviewer.
. . .
met jim at a university open day, really great guy.
hope to meet brian some day.
two of the best minds ever
I do t think Brian will ever turn into that thank you very much!
every time i see this guy i wanna know more of whatever he talks of ...
Okay, if THAT opening sequence does'nt put scientists in the super hero spotlight, nothing wil! Cox has a relaxed way to convey info...love that about him!
What a wonderful interview they seemed like they could have gone for a another few hours ^_^
I am watching this show 9 years after the event. It goes without saying that anything that these two guys say is greatly worthwhile, but I am a little disappointed that it took 35 minutes of this that and the other, before Jim Al Khalili got Brian to talk about Physics. But wonderful as ever, both of them have given so much to science in the service of raising public awareness about stuff that really matters.
brian cox kick ass!!!
Exactly my feeling. He is such a happy face guy. :)
Can't remember if I watched this already..... fuck it play it again!
+Wilbur Jenkins story of my life lol +1 I must have watched a handful amount of science documentaries either drunk, high, or both. And those are the times that I enjoyed them the most and forgot them the quickest :D
+It is I +1 🙌
Depends on the definition of 'city', but La Rinconada in Peru has a population of 50,000+ Height of 6,732 feet.
I know that the highest capital city in the world is generally considered to be La Paz in Bolivia, at about 16,000ft above sea level.
I'm baked as hell right now. Here we go again!
A shy Smile,Shining Cheeks,Bright Eyes and Good hair and a touch of Humour.....How come he is a Scientist??
Great minds and great communicators.
Well, I don't know, but on BBC Radio4 Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince host a great show called "The Infinite Monkey Cage".
brilliant, inspiring, wonderful.
both men brilliantly describe the boundary-breaking expansion of knowledge, from the superstitious days of complete ignorance to their current understanding of reality. and yet they oppose without discussion any theory or evidence that isn't in accord with their current understanding of reality.
Two great science mentors of this Generation 👌👌👍👍👍
Bright spirit of joy... contagious
Jim Al-Khalili and Brian Cox are two of the best REAL scientists explaining maths physics and chemistry to the general public.
good job. interesting conversations on the subject too. congratulations.🇵🇹.
I love this man so much
What a dude, no ego, clever as, very interesting to listen to. Can't wait to see his Horizons show in Nottingham
Another Hawking? LOL. 🤩 😯 WOW! ↩️
The answer to when you would go to was pretty epic.. I dont think I've ever heard anyone say that before, usually it is to meet specific people.. That is probably the most perfect answer ever for that question!
There is a point, however, that is rarely discussed. If, by exceeding the speed of light you manage to actually reverse time (the theory), there is a single instant in that acceleration where you would actually encounter a stop in time which, should you survive the trip (and be excluded from the pause), would confuse you because cause and effect is how we perceive time.
I find Brian so brilliant and intelligent
Cox! Wanna give undergraduate lectures. Saint. And hero.
"Science should be a part of popular culture..."13 min mark: I thank you both, and some others on RUclips.
He's so smiley! =D
Brian Cox does for physics what Bob Ross did for painting, make it chill 😎
Two of my favorite heavyweights!
Thanks so much for putting this up, two of my favourite modern day physicists shooting the shit
He's famous because he's very good at explaining science stuff to people who don't know a lot about science (i.e. people like me) in a way that is interesting without coming across as condescending or patronising.
My two favourite giants ♡
Briliant, my two favourite Professors.
love both of them, can't believe that the cameraman didn't properly focus his camera on Brian. :)
Great
Brilliant and fascinating :)
Two of my childhood heroes!
Brilliant & fun
We love you Brian ;)
thanks for this entertaining and informative talk...
Well said, in total agreement. I wish more had your insight on youtube!
This is a great interview between two great people
Qimm QE ( Quantum Education) PM Margaret Thatcher drove the Polytechnic systems. In my case at school doing sports and music to escape a madhouse family, therefore just focused on just passing to get to Swindon Regent's Circus College. Then realised intellectual potential, KJ not bad after winning U15 cross country Berkshire league for Slough & Eton school. On to Bounds Green Middlesex Polytechnic, 5 years in London sounds really exciting & winning Seetech Polytechnic Football league, runners up twice. Fsol
Our new President-elect of British Humanist Association.
Good on you!
My brother is a big fan of Duran Duran.
I love their song Ordinary World and other tracks as well.
Don't worry it won't last long.
No better evidence than this that Darwin was correct.
