Knowledge and Reasons are the best thing ever to make human species much advantage to advance towards greatness. Love these scientist, watches from Nigeria 🇳🇬🥂
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
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!!

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.
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.
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 💞
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!
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!
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.

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..
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.

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'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.
@Nilguiri I see where ur coming from and I personally prefer Jim's documentaries too (only marginally though). I don't think this is because of any negative aspects of Brian's documentaries though. They basically cater for different audiences- Jim caters for those that already have a decent interest in Science, whereas Brian caters for people who don't usually have interest in science. The great thing about Brian's documentaries is how well they inspire the general public to become interested.
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 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... :)
Damn it ! I totally didn't know he was coming to Uni ! I was there at that time. Would've been amazing to meet him :( . lythsian's comment is right. I do have a smile right now watching this conversation!
I started a course in Nuclear Astrophysics at Surrey Uni in 2003, even taught relativity by Al-Khalili in my 1st year, but to my eternal shame didn't have the mental fortitude, maturity or motivation to continue to the end of the 2nd year. My only comfort is that I can keep physics as a passion, and accept I didn't have it in me to make it a career. Maybe I'll try again one day. These two physicists are amongst my heroes of science!
I wish these two guys would have spent another 15 or 20 minutes congratulating each other and sucking each other’s egos. It’s so nice to watch two grown men so involved in stroking each other’s egos. True top end scientists here .
@@davidentwistle4068 you mean electron?If that's the case,then yes.When an atom loses electron it will lose some of its negative charge and so it becomes positively charged-positive ion.
@Nilguiri Brian's shows are for people who don't know anything about physics, he's trying to get people excited by science, by showing people visual dramatics it excites them
Danny Brennan that's the plank time.. time required for light to travel, in a vacuum, a distance of 1 Planck length, smallest conceived unit of distance of mere 1.6^10−35 meters. Compare this to the diameter of a proton at 0.87^10-15 meters you realize just how imperceptibly tiny Plank length actually is. The unit is named after Max Planck who first proposed it :D
From an 11 year gap since this presentation was published, the changes in knowledge are fascinating.
11 years old and still incredibly enjoyable, thanks.
A perfect afternoon Brian and Jim my favourite physicists and the sun is shining. What a great day
He’s makes science so easy to understand ❤
Knowledge and Reasons are the best thing ever to make human species much advantage to advance towards greatness.

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…
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
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.
Jim & Brian Cox's lectures on science broaden my thoughts and light my ways for future.
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.

Whoa!
Yes… like Carl Sagan & Richard Feynman…all love science & can communicate their ideas and love…
Brian is infectious. His enthusiasm and energy is a joy to watch.
Two outstanding educators and presenters of science. Great video, more of the same please.
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.

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.
Fascinating coverage, even though I watched Brian meets Jim first.
