[The123wtf]

[GypsyLeah]

This would never be on American TV. It is funny and cerebral.

[Zaqster]

This is amazingly good, thanks a bunch for uploading it.

[MsSteelphoenix]

LIKE SO HARD. Yay for accessible physics!

I wish BBC would allow us outside of the UK to watch their shows on iPlayer. I'd pay a *small* fee. I don't have cable and BBC America doesn't have the same programming.

"Now it feels like someone else!"

[PentagramSchematic]

@MogDMan hahahaha i noticed that too!

Half wave resonator. The basis of string musical instruments.

30 years ago in physics a teacher told me electrons acted like both particles and waves and I had no idea what that meant until just now. That's a long time to wait :)

[hughc023]

Very well explained . . .

[thribblit]

The whole show was fantastic, highly recommended if you can get it and watch it.

[AeronPeryton]

I feel smarter! Thanks Brian Cox!

[4ebees]

Even though my kids are young, they can understand these type of demonstrations and explanations. What a fantastic way to learn about physics.

[MazaPele999]

What is this string Brian uses?

[ComputerDilo]

@MazaPele999 It's just a theory...STRING THEORY :D Seriously though...it's a SPRING!

[MazaPele999]

@ComputerDilo looks like some rubber rather than metalic spring...

[ComputerDilo]

@MazaPele999 Yeah he says "sTring" a bit but he says "start vibrating the sPring" at the beginning. Also look at video at 0:06 and you'll see the metallic finish and the classic wire loop at the end of the spring :)

[concernedstudentR]

Teachers, USE THIS IN CLASS!

[brdavis5]

@concernedstudentR We do :)

[therorybox]

@concernedstudentR It is used in class! Just had a lesson with this!

[natorpen]

Where's Brian Cox?

[foodlovingpig]

I was expecting Brian Cox the actor.

[ErichoTTA]

It makes you realize how fun science can be.

[rottenseed]

This would have helped...I don't know...LAST WEEK when I tested on this stuff! Awesome explanation.
