What is space on its own made of? if matter and things within space-time are made up of particles, is space and time made up of little building blocks? or is it just a single fabric that is been stretched as the universe expands?
Haha, funny play on words. Brian Cox is amazing. It's a shame I have only just found out about him in the past year (from a friend of mine who is rightfully obsessed with him), and this is only the first video of his that I have ever watched. His passion for science is contagious.
In college, I got an F in Physics, a C in Calculus, an F in Psychology, and a B in Women's Literature. I find this to be amusing since I'm a Mad Genius. Anyway, Brian Cox is an awesome person, for sure.
Science never rejects the possibility of anything, especially not alternative intelligent life. For us to assume we are truly alone in this vast space that is our Universe is to be truly ignorance, however since we have no proof that other life exists, or at least proof that is publicly available, our best option is to wait for further evidence before making any more assumptions.
Haha, I would have answered these questions with the same answers as he, except I think the most important scientific discovery was the image of the Hubbell ultra deep field picture... that image changed my life!
he was so formal all the time while interviewing but when he said,"that's allright it's security init.." that "init" bit made him informal but in a nice way :p
It's a shame Brian Cox isn't a socially conscious as Carl Sagan was.
Brian Cox is the new media's face of science but he's not as observational to our social and environmental problems on this planet in relationship to our ability to align ourselves sustainabiy with the Earth.
Sagan was an amazing scientist, but he was also an incredibly empathic human being, and often expressed concern for the well-being of the species, I hope Cox sees the necessity in doing the same soon :)
@MissHomesy1 Thanks, I did my best with that generalization, here is some more. I would say that there are almost no girls who like Brian. Most women don't even know who Brian Cox is, all his videos on YouTube have like 99% male views. At the same time Justin Timberlake's videos have all female views. The reason for this is that girls for the most part don't care about science.
@mr95productions I am proud of the fact that the younger generation coming up still have people who want to learn and find truth and fact not fiction and story tails.
I fucking hate this interviewer, always have. The guy is just pure awkward, I don't understand why the BBC keeps paying him, he must be somebody's son/nephew or whatever.
quite simply, Brian Cox is THE collest man alive today.. Don't know ANYONE else who could answer those kinda questions in that succint, intelligent manner. SOOO cool.....
He's very intellegent,very good looking,has a sense of humour,loves music,loves astronomy,and he looks well young for 43!! And I'm 30! He is my ideal man!:-)) Well-and Keanu Reeves-hey, he looks like him! :-))) X
@Belgobrum Science is the simple act of questing why something is how it is, or on a much larger scale, any question anybody has ever asked or any thing anyones ever thought of has been Science. 'Science' (Or people trying to figure things out) made an extremely powerful bomb, the only thing 'Science' did was try and prove if making such a powerful bomb was possible. Trying to find answers isn't dangerous in itself, people manage to make things dangerous. Especially politicians.
This is what Youtube is all about in my mind. Professor Brian Cox is already an absolute legend. If everybody was as intelligent as him there would be no war, no religion (war) no poverty, no greed, no industrialisation - simply science. A science fact - in fact! Human beings are merely a 'speck' on the universe, and we'll destroy ourselves in a billionth on a nanosecond in which it has taken to create us. That right there... is our bad.

the moment the question was asked about his sciences hero I knew Carl Sagan's name would come up. Had to. And there it came up. Unsurprisingly.
This guy would make Carl Sagan proud. I think he's got a very similar mentality. Maybe not the same ability for communication, but for sure he's very "Sagan" in all what he says...
That turns Brian Cox into an instant winner for me.
@ramjb Bingo. I was like "sagan sagan sagan sagan..." waiting for it and was happy to hear it. Feyman is great too. And I agree that Cox is like sagan, as they both had lots and lots of enthusiasm for science and the advancement of.
its hilarious when people come on here to discredit Brian Cox as a real scientist but when pushed to provide evidence they come up with dribble about UFOs and creationism. Keep 'em coming. Its hilarious.
@heathy8it As it happens, I AM homosexual and ... you have no idea how much I would love to spend the rest of my life with this unbelievably stunning man. Unbelievably stunning in EVERY way. Now! How pathetic is that? I guess, though, most of us have heroes, dreams, fantasies. More strength to this astonishing young man. ... and to you for your insight.
@phantommate I`m not gay but for this .....stunning is actually thecorrect and only term, you`ve hit it on the head.....man, I`d willingly try the experiment or perhaps I`m bi and just don`t realise it,lol.
Oh wow, he is wonderful. He doesn't smile too much; he smiles a lot and more than anyone I've seen but other people don't smile enough. Only downside is he still looks like a boy-bander but I forgive him that as he is just so cute. I definately would ; )
If my professors would explain particle physics in a way he does, and smile while doing it, i would have 2 PhDs. And thats what is special about him, not his looks. :-)
Ah, Brian. We're just lucky to have you. Use whatever you need to to get those minds pried open.
And speaking for the femmes out here, let me just say that any man that can put complex ideas so elegantly, while LOOKING LIKE THAT, is sweaty-palm inducing. Lucky giagia!
It's hilarious how the two schools of physics are so divided, and that a physicist on one side will have so much trouble comprehending the other side! Someone intelligent enough as Brian Cox, who can truly understand particle physics, has trouble wrapping his brain around gravity! The world is so fascinating, and confusing. Particle physics in particular, quantum theory, beyond mind-boggling.
come on people this doesnt have to do with clothes style or the music he listens to but the mind he carries.Even if he seems to be like an ordinary guy-i mean who would think that he is a science prof-he is one of the most intelligent people in the world
When the guy asked something about a "scientific hero," all that was repeating in my my mind was "Sagan, Sagan, Sagan, Say Sagan" and he finally said it and then added Richard Feynman.
Good Job Brian, you just listed my two Scientific Heroes.
Am I the only one who find this man very unnatural and neurotic. He has this odd passive aggressive smile plastered on his face all the time. I would like to know what kind of moisturizer he uses...that is the real mystery of the universe.
@transfoby I just think he looks excited, myself, and not passive aggressive in the least. But if you don't like him, just don't watch the videos. Easy enough.
I was looking for Brian Cox, the actor, and I found this. Then I saw "Holy shit he's fucking hot". Then I saw "holy shit he's a particle physicist". And then I saw "Holy shit he's genuinely competent and charismatic". And now I've finally realized "Holy shit, I have to do more research, but I think I'm in love". I may be exhausted and it may be 3:40, but I need more info on this guy. TO THE INTERNETS! Oh wait, I'm already here...
Woah, atheist? I'm not watching any of his shows again, he got lucky, but any other person in his field makes almost no money and works part time at mcdonalds.
When he's talking about the percentages he doesn't literally mean that we understand exactly 4%. And that we can't see or prove the other 96%. That 96% is dark matter I think. I think. Don't get angry if I'm wrong but my knowledge of physics as a 16 yr old nerd makes me think he means dark matter.
I am 15 and I was not really interested in Physics until I discovered Brian.He has inspired me to take up Physics in school (although I still consider Chemistry as my favourite science) and for that I thank him.
What a fantastic guy! I'm absolutely flabbergasted over the things he said. Do we only understand what 4% of the universe is - that's amazing... I think we need to get a little more humble humanity!!!
I thought Science was boring in school but after seeing Brian Cox I find it so amazing and could listen to him forever! I think its because he isnt like an average professor, he delivers it in such a great way and because he is laid back and as he said "smiles a lot" he doesnt take it too seriously which doesnt make you feel like he is laying it on thick.
I have had this thought for over 10 years that Electro-Magnetism is something really special. I'm not a 'scientist' officially... but there is something to be harnessed!
I totally agree with you. Only the other day I posted on my Facebook that I thought Carl Sagan and returned in the form of Brian Cox!!
The fact he mentions both Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman in space of 10 seconds is awesome. Sagan and Feynman are my science heros, I can now add a 3rd Brian Cox. Brilliant.
I have class in the building where he works. Haven't seen him in person yet, though!

@WayneKerrlol a large part of the universe is made up off dark energy. We don't know much about dark energy at the moment.

I have officially fallen in love with this man.
I am 15 and I was not really interested in Physics until I discovered Brian.He has inspired me to take up Physics in school (although I still consider Chemistry as my favourite science) and for that I thank him.

@flibble3333 Remember that chemistry is just applied physics, so your going to have to know both. Best of luck with whichever path you take.

One more brilliant human being who acknowledges human-induced climate change. So sad that some people still think its debatable.

What a fantastic guy! I'm absolutely flabbergasted over the things he said. Do we only understand what 4% of the universe is - that's amazing... I think we need to get a little more humble humanity!!!

I thought Science was boring in school but after seeing Brian Cox I find it so amazing and could listen to him forever! I think its because he isnt like an average professor, he delivers it in such a great way and because he is laid back and as he said "smiles a lot" he doesnt take it too seriously which doesnt make you feel like he is laying it on thick.

I have had this thought for over 10 years that Electro-Magnetism is something really special. I'm not a 'scientist' officially... but there is something to be harnessed!

I totally agree with you. Only the other day I posted on my Facebook that I thought Carl Sagan and returned in the form of Brian Cox!!
The fact he mentions both Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman in space of 10 seconds is awesome. Sagan and Feynman are my science heros, I can now add a 3rd Brian Cox. Brilliant.
