  • I love how exactly when the man at the beginning says, "No flash photography," a flash goes off.
  • @novh4ck
    It's amazing that he talks about Higgs particle and says that they use it in equations even though it might not even exist but just a year later they confirmed it's existence! Made me very happy.

    Such a fantastic speaker. He brings an implausibly complex subject to the masses through the art of storytelling. Superb.
  • At 41:00 Dr. Cox talks about a particle that is theorized to exist in the Higgs field, and in the spirit of Feynman they'd have to go and look for it, in order for their theory to hold. As we now know, about a year later, Cox and all the amazing scientists at CERN discovered just that - the Higgs particle, effectively proving that the science was solid all along.
  • It is incredible how easy this man explains such complicated mater. He does all this with a permanente smile on his face, using simple words and a humble approach. Unlike the man who introduced him, he is very humble, and just a wonderful human being.
  • He is really good at laying difficult and complex theories/ concepts/ facts in simple and down-to-earth language. Hopefully I can meet him when I come to Manchester to study the coming year!
  • The idea that someone could work out that time slows down relative to speed by just sitting there and thinking about 2 mirrors and light bouncing between them is really mind bending stuff. I get the sense that Brian himself is in awe of Einsteins genius.
  • How can the BBC justify programs like Greatest dancer, The great british sewing bee and other saturday night rubbish and drop programs like Stargazing live? I understood that the BBC was here to entertain and inform,not to treat us like mushrooms.

    The Richard Feynman clip (15:50) is a favourite. The enthusiasm of his simple and matter-of-fact way of presenting the facts brings tears to my eyes.
  • Brian Cox is the most elegant gentleman in physic community I have ever seen.
  • there's no better inspiration in the universe to young aspiring physicists than Prof Brian Cox.One of my all time heros.Had i been watching this at a young age, i'd certainly be pursuing a career in the fascinating field of science.
  • You certainly can tell that Brian admired Carl Sagen. His excitment is infectious much like Mr Sagan's was..
  • I’ve finished A-level Physics and will begin my MPhys in September, but I thought I’d put this on to hear Brian talk - whether it’s tailored towards GCSE kids or 4th year quantum physics students I find his explanations riveting. 40:58 to 41:14 in particular really does make me smile when you realise this lecture was a year before CERN first witnessed the Higgs boson.

    Can't get enough of this guy, totally absorbing. Thanks for posting.
  • I seriously just love this guy. What an amazing communicator. His enthusiasm is contagious. I love how he always talks with a smile!
  • Loved Brian Cox for so many years. I've now taken on an astronomy course....the maths side I'm struggling with but the physics I'm enjoying. I'll get there with his wonderful influence. He's my ♥️

    Big thumbs up for Brian Cox. He's engaging, super bright and charismatic. I hope his enthusiasm for science rubs off on lots of young people.
  • Brian Cox is the Sagan of our time. Such an eloquent and well-spoken man who helps others understand the Universe in a fun and lay way.
