DR BRIAN COX - DEFENDS ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE with SIR DAVID KING

[MISTERASMODEUS]

great job, Dr Cox!!

[twanman11]

Brian, Please slap them two for me!!!!!

[ryanwilliammac]

10 billion is nothing. trillions have been spent in ten years in iraq, afganistan and brian cox is right. you might find 100 new things to do with info found from the hadron collider but h.i.v. isnt easy to cure

[Zybardium]

I really dislike people who don't see the point in science. We are who we are and the universe is everything it is because of science. People at school would say 'science is pointless' why would they say that? Without science nothing In the universe would be.

[clairebehun]

love the work here

[TomFynn]

Dawkins said that in the proofs of one of his books he discovered a typo: Large Hardon Collider.

He begged with his editor to leave it in, but to no avail...

[jayejayeee]

really informative and interesting

[grisgrisy]

you have some great stuff here

[MrJonkelp]

[willbirful]

really informative and interesting

[haz464]

brian cox ftw

[Aeoliandorian]

@Falconbridge9 ...

[TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

that's less than what US spends in afghanistan

[MaicahRu]

It's a Scam! They're just building a loads of tubes and pocketing the rest of the money, scientists are liars! Fuckin' Magnets How Do They Work?

[foiblebear]

@MaicahRu "They're just building a loads of tubes"

Yeah but last time they built a load of tubes, we ended up with the Internet. You never know where tube research is going to lead.

[turboturtle2002]

@MaicahRu the irony of this coment being posted on the internet. lolz

[TheMahi1968]

I belive Sir will not be able to undersatnd how technology could be created without the fundamental science. If you do not do more research on fundamental science like Physics,you do not have concepts build in your list, to create technology in applied engineering. What are the benifits we get doing fundamental research unbeliveble, stem cells, nano technology, etc..etc. end less list involved today to resolve problem of cancer.emerging technology for alternative energy resources.

[hypock1]

holy fuck some people are retarded, this shit is incredibly important, 10 billion is fuck all in the grand scheme of things ! DR BRIAN COX ALL THE WAY!

[beefforhire]

No wonder British industry has gone to pot when the cheif scientific advister to the government for all those years this "sir" David King doesnt want to go and answer the fundamental questions of the universe and how its created

what an absolute cretin sitting there saying Brian Cox should go and try and solve "Climate change"

I sleep better at knight knowing Brian Cox isn't dicking around with solar panels and is instead at the forefront of trying to understand the cosmos.

[flakelorenz02]

@beefforhire At Knight?

There's a Freudian slip. I know who I'd want to be a knight and it's not the man with the box tie.

[callumpassells67]

David King is an idiot, and I can't believe he is a voice for science in the government. Brian Cox rules.

[happyidiottalk]

OMG, that David King fellow is unbelievably short sighted for someone who is supposedly the president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. I would suggest he watches this video from Neil DeGrasse Tyson and broaden his horizons a little.

/watch?v=VjY0vqgDMnE

Kudos to Brian though, what an absolute rock star of science.

[TurboDally]

$10 billion miniscule compared to the money spent on wars.

[flakelorenz02]

@TurboDally You couldn't be more right.

I'd actually vote in elections if a politician said that.

[VVizeman]

@TurboDally Meanwhile the Rothchild family has over 300 TRILLION dollars.

And for those who don't get that, imagine they could build 30 thousand CERNs.

Money is the destruction of mankind

[nipuna666]

@TurboDally Exactly! Why don't they talk about how many scientists are employed to create weapons? Why can't THEY be asked to save the planet! Absolute rubbish! Agree with Dr. Cox x10000
