I really like people like Jim and Brian for their abilities to talk about difficult science concepts, as a 70 year old retired blacksmith I possess the curiosity of a ten year old so I truly appreciate their efforts to educate people.
-
Brian Cox has made me, a working class dunce interested in physics and science, and for that and all everyone else he has inspired he is a legend
-
I’m 57 left school with no qualifications don’t understand physics (I’m not complaining as I haven’t done bad in life) but boy do I love listening to you two, you make it sound so simple. Thank you

Great stuff! Professor Jim Al-Khalili got me, a working class quarry worker into physics and more importantly quantum mechanics. I still have no idea what's going on but I know I love it passionately. I get glimpses of what it all means. My kids have picked up on my enthusiasm. So much so that my 9-year-old came back from our local library with a book about physics aimed at his age group and he can't put it down.

I've been watching quite a lot of professor Al-Khalili's popular lectures on Youtube and have been captivated ever since. Can't think of anyone conveying the fascination of the field as good as he does. I hope one day there will be a Nobel Prize for great teachers. He'd certainly be one of the first recipients.

I’ve watched just about every documentary going with Professor Jim Al-Khalili and Professor Brian Cox and they are both brilliant. Can’t confess I know and understand everything they are talking about but it’s thought provoking and makes you go back and watch it again and again just to try and understand it that little bit more
-
Two immensely enjoyable physicists and inspiring public figures.
-
I just found Jim a few weeks ago, and i can’t seem to get enough of his work. I can watch him for hours, and never get bored!

Happy to say I was in the front row. It was a lovely talk. :)
-
Genuine people with amazing enthusiasm!

from 33:11 "Why shouldn't we be talking about new exo-planet that's been discovered or new particle that we're looking for, in the same way that public discourse talks about politics, sports, music..." Thanks, absolutely agree.
-
Articulate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic personalities. Very attractive.
-
It's OK PEOPLE LIKE YOUR GOODSELVES are teaching US HUMANS THE TRUTH
-
JIM IS SUCH A GREAT PERSON AND MASTER TEACHER.
-
Two lovely men who with all their knowledge are a delight to listen to.
-
Two of the UK's rather good science communicators in one place? Nice.
-
Two of my favorite Professors - thank you for sharing this on the Internet.
-
It never matters where scientists come from. They all search for the truth in knowledge and are driven into the unknown.

My 2 favorite scientists ❤❤❤ thank you for your work!!
