Brian Cox ruffled a few feathers with a TV lecture which touched upon the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Two of our Sixty Symbols regulars - Ed Copeland and Tony Padilla - try to explain what it was all about.

Here's the section in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn4I-f...

    in all seriousness, the millions of people who have watched his programs and lectures, he literally got one phrase wrong when explaining something very complicated to the general public, its really not a big deal. I struggle to explain how to make a pancake without getting something wrong

    With all due respect to the scientists in this clip and the others that complained, Brian Cox brings Quantum Physics to life for viewers such as myself, the average person. By minute four of most other similar videos I want to put a gun in my mouth. Just saying.

    - Deep insight in how important it is to interpret statements in good will.

    Ha typical scientist. "Did he stuff up do something wrong? No i don't think so". He is not even sure. But now we have got something to talk about for a really long time.

    Who would have though that a lecture in the field of quantum physics for the general public would be over simplified  ?

    12 minutes and 17 seconds because he got 1 word wrong?

    I guess those people don't have anything better to do...
