HAHA,...as you go to black hole, take tomato sauce and res vine.. hah :-) ok, good to know, dr. Cox :-) thanx...BUT.. you forgot to mention, that it is not i who am to feast in black hole, it's the black hole feasting on me :-) hahaa
the problem with Brian Cox is that his view of a gravity wave is a 3d wave of spacetime in a 2d surface. what he don't realize is that his gravity wave is the particle but with an extra spatial dimension. and that gravitational lensing is the product of light being compressed in time at varying densities caused by time dilation proportional to mass times energy compressed as force. in other words matter act as a capacitor for energy compressed as gravity. energy can bend the fabric of space.
The more you understand about the universe, the more every moment and every thing becomes thrilling. Have you ever felt the tingly goosebump feeling? It's like that, except all the time. Almost orgasmic I'd say, simply to be alive.
I have a science degree and love the whole range of sciences from nutrition and psychology; all thew way to physics and cosmology. And I too believe in God and the New Testament. Science and religion - to me at least - aren't as divided, far apart, and different, as many would have it.
Just to add...I think Brian Cox is an amazing presenter. I could sit (or stand) and listen to him all day long. He has an amazing ability to make complex subject matter easy to understand, and interesting.
Higgs boson was invented by Peter Higgs to explain why other particles exhibit mass. He starts by assuming the existence of a particle that only has mass and no other characteristics, such as charge. So the Higgs particle is like no other in our experience, since all normal matter is composed of electric charges that respond to electromagnetic influences.
long time ago, scientists said that earth was a square planet and ppl live on top of it otherwise evryone would fall off of it. ppl believed them because it sounds logical. i agree that religion might not be right but scientists r not right either. if i didnt want to agree with something, i could come up with million reasons to disagre with it. they jus cant accept that god exists coz then they would have to accept that they spent all their lives making up all this crap.
I don't see why the war between science and a god is so at odds. The greatest question of life "Why are we here?" has similar answers which ever camp you're in. People of religion, "let there be light" is literally a universe flashing into being with a big bang and people of science need to admit that which ever cause of the cause you believe in the notions of eternity or things springing from nothing are also possible, so essentially, faith in science or God is still faith an not so dissimilar

@gamerahs and do you think this 'higher power' gives a shit about our species?.....fuck no! Do you think that this gigantic, never ending gulf of light, time, gravity, and space has US in mind?? fuck no! The reason why we're still alive as a species is because we haven't died out yet.

@Bennyboy138 well we are trying to get extinct aren`t we by killing each other and killing other species.and destroying the earth by many means man . even if religion is an illusion and isn`t real at least it tells us to live like humans not animals. and i didn`t say to search for Higher power i said not to abuse religion in your search for science .i myself am pretty amazed by nature and space and know many theories that donn`t cross public eye.

@transfoby Maybe Professor Cox is right in saying most people like to be in an established comfort zone. Perhaps you are one of those people. I only ask why you think he is such a fool for wanting to find answers to questions we all have? What is so terrifying about that? I'm not fighting with you, I'm only trying to figure out your motives becuase honestly I don't understand them.
@transfoby ... that mouthpiece on drugs is a particle physicist. i can see why people who don't understand the science of physics to think a guy like brian cox is mad, but the thing is the more you understand the science, the more you look at the world differently. it's not a case of him being mad, on drugs, being empty, it's basically him understanding how the universe works more than you do, and the more you know, the more complex it becomes.
@lennoxlude thanks for enlightening me...what he knows is only theorethical, nothing else..that is why they build that monstruosity in Switzerland..They don't know anything, let alone themselves. They are just like grown up kids playing with fire
@transfoby.. theres many thing us humans don't know and will never know because the universe is too complex for us to ever understand, but that shouldn't stop us from wanting to know how our universe works etc to the best of our ability. it's that searching for the answer that makes us understand as humans more about the universe, and everything within the universe including us humans. the answer of god made this, and god made that is just not sufficent enough to satisfy me and others.

@9hello123 Good God, please don't try to sound smart because you think people won't notice. The vaccum of space is incredibly cold. Unless you are within star boundries thereis literally no heat at all. You are a moron.
@cwestsupporter space is hotter than how cold a superconductor needs to be and a cooling system big enough to cool something down to become a superconductor would be incredibly heavy and there's no way you could get it into space with even an incredibly high budget.
@9hello123 Ok, you really need to stop now. Space is at about negative 2.75 kelvin, which is 270-280 degrees below zero celsius. The coldest supercondutor at CERN is -271celsius. Once again, please stop saying things like they are factual when you really are just full of shit.
@cwestsupporter no you really need to stop now. you cant get negative kelvin for one. Space at its coldest is 2.75 kelvin which is -270.25 degrees. Not 270-280
The top of our atmosphere is also a lot hotter than this. Your full of shit.
@9hello123 You have never fucking taken a physics class, this is my career. Are you actually trying to convince me or yourself that you know about physics. You are absolutely full of shit, you don't even know temp measurements. Big difference between knowing the subjuect your commenting on and getting a bit of info from google. You are fucking pathetic.
@9hello123 I'm wrong about nothing you fool. I did make a typo putting neg in front of kelvin, You absolutely can go to -280 celsius. It used to be we thought all molecules stopped moving at -273.25 celsius until we got into the field of quantum mechanics and found gluons and fermions and hadrons. Just because you read an article in a magazine once you really need to stop acting like an authority on the subject.
@cwestsupporter you can stop going on the you dont know what your talking about route because its not advanced knowledge to know that: industrial cooling systems are heavy, spaceflight is expensive, space in the solar system is hotter than space far away from a heat source, and that you can't reach absolute zero (which has nothing to do with what where talking about anyway) your wrong about plenty. space isnt cold enough for superconductors,there is heat every in the universe not just near stars
@9hello123 Conversation over, you are fucking pathetic, people in the know will also know you are fucking pathetic and you have wasted to much of my time already. Go back to your plumbing job and piss off. People like you are a waste of fucking cells.
@cwestsupporter and people with common sense know your wrong. if your going to insult people for no reason other than your full of yourself could you atleast think of more than one insult by the way?
Max Tegmark, a mathematician, is quiite good at getting ideas across, but usually appears as a contributor, as does Lawrence Krauss, who usually pops up in similar shows to Kaku.
If you like Cox and Kaku, then look up Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman, who were both excellent communicators and incredibly smart guys. I'd also add David Attenborough if you're into Natural History.
Richard Dawkins is also a good educator, and isn't as spiky as most would like to think.
I think Sagan's Cosmos is one of the greatest documentaries, and he is Brian Cox's own favourite.
Is it just me or do Cox and Kaku both look twenty years younger than they actually are?
He's spectacular! I love this guy. Just found him on a ted talk page and have since watched a handful of his lovely vids here. Who else are good physicists to listen to? aside from Michio Kaku
Brian Cox is great. He sparks the enthusiasm in people all over the world. And people that werent interested before sure is after listening to him. Great stuff. His "TED" appearance is really great awswell.
Brian Cox is my new favorite science presenter. I think i love him. He is so not 41. I mean, he is, but I never would have guessed til I looked up his wiki page.
This is all very fascinating. The make up of our universe, how things come into existence..atoms, anti-matters, string, gravity, energy...etc. This makes me wonder...How does emotion, curiosity, intelligence, identity, consciousness come into this?? What are the basic building blocks to these? chemicals in our brains? How would we possibly recreate that?
open your mind to all the possibilities and common sense flood's in, which is something that religious people don't do, religious people hate to discuss the possibility that there might not be no god, maybe due to fear of finding that the truth is not actually the truth they want it to be, while science looks at the possibilities of everything, it not only seeks the possibilities but it goes out to try and prove what they say is true. complete difference in mindsets.
science goes out to find the truth, and to find the truth you'll find that sometimes you have to disproof certain ideas that don't make sense to what you believe. that's what is great about science, always willing to prove something and even disprove certain ideas regardless if it makes people unhappy. religion you don't get that. if you try to disprove a certain religion, then it's fround upon, it's not accepted, why? because of fear.
@lennoxlude Yes, we have to look at all possibilities, everything is possible. So god is possible and due to the fact god is a theory, although it has no evidence there's also has no evidence against the idea of a god and doubtless there will never be any evidence. So there is no truth, whether religious people are willing to accept it or not. It's like having a theoretical partical that fills a gap in our knowledge, without evidence people either take it or leave it. That's how science works.
@Sciocc0 The concept of god that is prevalent in the majority of religions on earth has a vast amount of evidence against it... I think it basically stems from self centeredness and peoples inability to swallow their pride.
@teatime90 Belief in God/being religious is something that comforts people about things they don't know, just because it can be selfish doesn't mean it's wrong. Also, given how much power religion held over people you can't expect that it wouldn't be used by humans...tweaked slightly to gain more power. Take the logical contradiction 'all powerful' for example, it's obviously to sway the public. This doesn't make God any more or less possible.
@lennoxlude oh hey a wise man once sayed: religion is made for mankind to get over the problems of beeing human... maybe its not exsactly translated tho im from germany =P
@lennoxlude - have you ever heard of the Kalam Cosmological argument? Its a rather strong argument which accords with the big bang for the existence of God. If you're interested / if you want to investigate it you can search on you tube for "WIlliam Lane Craig Big Bang" or something and he'll present the argument. Have a go at refuting it, you'll probably enjoy it!
@lennoxlude To see a Christian's completely different approach to these issues, take a quick look at this site – Life from God .com, The Firm Foundation Series, "The Step - Evolution" One never ceases to be amazed!
I've never seen a professor so happy about physics! He shows that science can be cool. I first saw him on Horizon, and was wary that he seemed to cool and trendy to be a good physicist, but I realised I was wrong very quickly. Great bloke. He doesn't look 40 either...

the big bang day was so anoying i went into my school and everyone was scared and whimpering i just cnt imagine if it went wrong and we all got sucked into a dark powerfull black hole
Brian Cox is brilliant. He's inspired me to want to becoming a physicist in addition to others.
He shows how youth and enthusiasm are within science rather than the negative stereotype of older men grumbling at blackboards. (Apologies to those men, for I highly respect them, I just think they are misunderstood. Richard Feynman for the win!)
I like Brian, the world needs more well-informed forward-thinking people. He gives me a glimmer of hope for the future of our morbidly over-populated planet...

Yeah I agree there seems something not quite right like he is in a cult. And the way he is so light hearted about the possibility of complete obliteration sickens me.

Just freeze frame Brian with one of those shiny-faced manic grins on his face and you'll see that we are dealing with some kind of quasi-religious cult in whose members' minds a range of esoteric and highly speculative ideas about the nature of reality - although they still call them "theories" - have morphed into 100% undeniable FACT.
Who red-penned me for likening the HiggsBosonists to a "quasi-religious cult in whose members' minds a range of esoteric and highly speculative ideas about the nature of reality - although they still call them "theories" - have morphed into 100% undeniable FACT."????
Brian didn't "calculate" the odds of finding the Higgs Boson at 100%. No, in a feeble nod to a true scientific approah, he "calculated" the odds at 95%. But be in NO DOUBT he believes in its existence 100%.
"Yes we will all die in a horrid death cuz of LHC." Ha ha ha, even Brian Cox laughs about those that don`t understand anything and are just afraid like sheeps. People actually wanted to create theories about microwawe owens, that they cauze cancers :D
Scaredy cats. Don`t forget to buy tomato sauce for 21st september, ha ha ha
CERN says is safe cause nature does the same with the moon and it is not a black hole. BUT MILLIONS OF MOONS ARE BECOMING BLACK HOLES. A MOON CONVERTED INTO A BLACK HOLE PRODUCES STABLE BACKGROUND RADIATION EXACTLY AT 2.7K, that swamps the galaxy.Since the big bang is not cosmic SINCE FAR AWAY GALAXIES dont leave shadows on it so it is produded in this galaxy only MOONS made into black holes produce by gravitational lensing 2.7k radiation as cern will do with earth in Nov. FRED HOYLE said it.
There are some things in nature that should be left well alone and this whole Big Bang theory experiment is most definitely one of them, especially since the scientists don't even know what the outcome will be.
The people behind this experiment should either be in an asylum and the ECHM need a good swift boot in the b*ll*cks for not putting a stop to this experiment.
The more I think about it, the more I don't care anymore what the outcome will be, so long as nothing happens before I go to be with the special lady in my life :)
I do hope though that everything will go ok and that the experiment will be completed safely and without any nasty side effects.
spotlitkiss "nature messes with us quite a lot - tit for tat".
Let me explain something in simple terms so you understand. You are dependent for your EXISTENCE on the CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF THE EARTH. Hope that clarifies things for you!
i was making a joke! even so, i don't understand your fears here, conisidering what he was saying about the level of potential risks. and thanks for the heads up on what determines my continued existence - i was clearly unaware
What's the point, you ask? The point is that there are still things that man, with all his technology and perceived wealth, still doesn't understand. We are finally at a stage in our evolution where we can recreate the very essence of the universe. Would you sooner mankind turn their backs on these great voyages of discovery and veg out in front of mindless tv? Yes, I suppose you would. As for the rest of us who still have half a brain cell, let us step out into the stars
ankaa0. Whatsay we send you, Brian and his buddies at CERN and the LHC on a one way voyage of discovery into the sun? Just to see what happens eh? I predict you will all reappear on the other side with superhero powers and be able to teleport back to the earth to tell us about your adventures. Are you up for it?

I think that I am such an idiot arguing about this but why do they want to put us all at risk if there is a possibility that they might end up dying as well??? I really think that they should reconsider this!

CERN resembles not so much a scientific institution as a religious cult. Its members display classic cultic signs of blank, shiny-faced, glassy-eyed expressions, manic smiles, agitation and quivering excitement as they fervently anticipate the arrival of their messiah -- The Higgs Boson -- who shall be summoned forth from the deeps of time through the mighty proton beams of the Large Hadron Collider to reveal unto them the ultimate secrets of the universe.
If you are concerned about all this you COULD do worse that e-mail your congressman, MP or whatever. It will only take a moment of your time.
There is still time to stop mad Bri and his buddies at CERN from catastrophically demonstrating that the Higgs Boson hypothesis is a load of tosh and they have wasted years of their lives chasing phantoms.
Don't worry. Brian Cox isn't the first rock star to have joined a whacko quasi-religious movement. However, he is certainly the first to join one that has managed to persuade governments that they are a bona fide scientific outfit and fund them in building a potential doomsday device.
Stevehtegreatgr wrote: ""building a potential doomsday device"
And you are the one talking about other people being wackos... "
Starting with CERN's own assertion that LHC could possibly make black holes. Why couldn't such a body conceivably pose a fatal threat to the earth? I have known of this project for years and up until a couple of weeks ago unquestioningly accepted the claim that any black holes formed would necessarily instantly vaporize when a newspaper article made me think.
You see, Stevehtegreatgr, I assumed that all these guys at CERN KNEW what they were doing. However this is NOT the case. To quote CERN's Alvaro de Rujula:
"Science is what you do when you don't know what you're doing"
Black holes are not fatal threats, especially if they can really be created under such low energies (that LHC is dealing with). The Black Holes that you have in mind are results of massive stars that went supernova. Since it is not likely that we have a massive star near CERN it's also impossible to think that we can create such black holes that will possibly "eat" the earth.
Just because AIDS can kill you doesn't mean that a single RNA strand of HIV is a threat to you...

Let us all hope that nothing goes seriously wrong. I think it was Stephen Hawking who retracted one of this theories about Black holes, and made a complete u-turn on the subject. Let us hope he doesn't go back on his theory about micro Black holes decaying very quickly, and posing no threat to humanity!

If the thingy bout colisions above our head is true why the hell didn't they build cern in space?
Albear20 1 year ago
@Albear20 because something put in space is considerably more expensive than its weight in gold. Not to mention I doubt it would work in space.
9hello123 1 year ago
@Albear20 infact it definitly wouldn't work in space because its to hot and very difficult to cool things down in space.
9hello123 1 year ago
@9hello123 Good God, please don't try to sound smart because you think people won't notice. The vaccum of space is incredibly cold. Unless you are within star boundries thereis literally no heat at all. You are a moron.
cwestsupporter 1 year ago
@cwestsupporter space is hotter than how cold a superconductor needs to be and a cooling system big enough to cool something down to become a superconductor would be incredibly heavy and there's no way you could get it into space with even an incredibly high budget.
9hello123 1 year ago
@9hello123 Ok, you really need to stop now. Space is at about negative 2.75 kelvin, which is 270-280 degrees below zero celsius. The coldest supercondutor at CERN is -271celsius. Once again, please stop saying things like they are factual when you really are just full of shit.
cwestsupporter 1 year ago
@cwestsupporter no you really need to stop now. you cant get negative kelvin for one. Space at its coldest is 2.75 kelvin which is -270.25 degrees. Not 270-280
The top of our atmosphere is also a lot hotter than this. Your full of shit.
9hello123 1 year ago
@cwestsupporter also not only is 2.75 kelvin only -270.25 celsius. You also can't physically get -280 celsius.

@9hello123 You have never fucking taken a physics class, this is my career. Are you actually trying to convince me or yourself that you know about physics.

9hello123 1 year ago
@9hello123 I'm wrong about nothing you fool. I did make a typo putting neg in front of kelvin, You absolutely can go to -280 celsius. It used to be we thought all molecules stopped moving at -273.25 celsius until we got into the field of quantum mechanics and found gluons and fermions and hadrons. Just because you read an article in a magazine once you really need to stop acting like an authority on the subject.
cwestsupporter 1 year ago
@cwestsupporter you can stop going on the you dont know what your talking about route because its not advanced knowledge to know that: industrial cooling systems are heavy, spaceflight is expensive, space in the solar system is hotter than space far away from a heat source, and that you can't reach absolute zero (which has nothing to do with what where talking about anyway) your wrong about plenty. space isnt cold enough for superconductors,there is heat every in the universe not just near stars

Max Tegmark, a mathematician, is quiite good at getting ideas across, but usually appears as a contributor, as does Lawrence Krauss, who usually pops up in similar shows to Kaku.
I think Kaku and Sagan are my favourites
kitchenaut 1 year ago
If you like Cox and Kaku, then look up Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman, who were both excellent communicators and incredibly smart guys. I'd also add David Attenborough if you're into Natural History.
Richard Dawkins is also a good educator, and isn't as spiky as most would like to think.
I think Sagan's Cosmos is one of the greatest documentaries, and he is Brian Cox's own favourite.
Is it just me or do Cox and Kaku both look twenty years younger than they actually are?

open your mind to all the possibilities and common sense flood's in, which is something that religious people don't do, religious people hate to discuss the possibility that there might not be no god, maybe due to fear of finding that the truth is not actually the truth they want it to be, while science looks at the possibilities of everything, it not only seeks the possibilities but it goes out to try and prove what they say is true. complete difference in mindsets.
lennoxlude 2 years ago 50
Not entirely correct. Scientist try to disprove what they think/say is true. Thats the nature of the scientific method.
Zoiros85 2 years ago 4
science goes out to find the truth, and to find the truth you'll find that sometimes you have to disproof certain ideas that don't make sense to what you believe. that's what is great about science, always willing to prove something and even disprove certain ideas regardless if it makes people unhappy. religion you don't get that. if you try to disprove a certain religion, then it's fround upon, it's not accepted, why? because of fear.

transfoby 1 year ago
@lennoxlude Yes, we have to look at all possibilities, everything is possible. So god is possible and due to the fact god is a theory, although it has no evidence there's also has no evidence against the idea of a god and doubtless there will never be any evidence. So there is no truth, whether religious people are willing to accept it or not. It's like having a theoretical partical that fills a gap in our knowledge, without evidence people either take it or leave it. That's how science works.
Sciocc0 1 year ago
@Sciocc0 The concept of god that is prevalent in the majority of religions on earth has a vast amount of evidence against it... I think it basically stems from self centeredness and peoples inability to swallow their pride.
teatime90 1 year ago
@teatime90 Belief in God/being religious is something that comforts people about things they don't know, just because it can be selfish doesn't mean it's wrong. Also, given how much power religion held over people you can't expect that it wouldn't be used by humans...tweaked slightly to gain more power. Take the logical contradiction 'all powerful' for example, it's obviously to sway the public. This doesn't make God any more or less possible.

@lennoxlude - have you ever heard of the Kalam Cosmological argument? Its a rather strong argument which accords with the big bang for the existence of God. If you're interested / if you want to investigate it you can search on you tube for "WIlliam Lane Craig Big Bang" or something and he'll present the argument. Have a go at refuting it, you'll probably enjoy it!

Brian didn't "calculate" the odds of finding the Higgs Boson at 100%. No, in a feeble nod to a true scientific approah, he "calculated" the odds at 95%. But be in NO DOUBT he believes in its existence 100%.

CERN says is safe cause nature does the same with the moon and it is not a black hole. BUT MILLIONS OF MOONS ARE BECOMING BLACK HOLES. A MOON CONVERTED INTO A BLACK HOLE PRODUCES STABLE BACKGROUND RADIATION EXACTLY AT 2.7K, that swamps the galaxy.Since the big bang is not cosmic SINCE FAR AWAY GALAXIES dont leave shadows on it so it is produded in this galaxy only MOONS made into black holes produce by gravitational lensing 2.7k radiation as cern will do with earth in Nov.

There are some things in nature that should be left well alone and this whole Big Bang theory experiment is most definitely one of them, especially since the scientists don't even know what the outcome will be.
The people behind this experiment should either be in an asylum and the ECHM need a good swift boot in the b*ll*cks for not putting a stop to this experiment.

Starting with CERN's own assertion that LHC could possibly make black holes. Why couldn't such a body conceivably pose a fatal threat to the earth? I have known of this project for years and up until a couple of weeks ago unquestioningly accepted the claim that any black holes formed would necessarily instantly vaporize when a newspaper article made me think.

You see, Stevehtegreatgr, I assumed that all these guys at CERN KNEW what they were doing. However this is NOT the case. To quote CERN's Alvaro de Rujula:
"Science is what you do when you don't know what you're doing"
atlastasparename 3 years ago
Black holes are not fatal threats, especially if they can really be created under such low energies (that LHC is dealing with). The Black Holes that you have in mind are results of massive stars that went supernova. Since it is not likely that we have a massive star near CERN it's also impossible to think that we can create such black holes that will possibly "eat" the earth.
Just because AIDS can kill you doesn't mean that a single RNA strand of HIV is a threat to you...

LHC energies = 14^12 eV
Cosmic rays = 10^21 eV
Thats 1,400,000,000,000 vs 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
So nature does this experiment in our atmosphere every day but with almost a Billion times more energy.
