Dude Brian cox is a gift , the man is genius and is fully capable of relating it to the masses . Was also a keyboard rock star look up dare from the 80s , the bo jackson of particle physics
Bizarre that you mention Dare rather than the fact he had a no 1 hit with D:Ream.
A wonderful coincidence, if you can call it that, is that he had the opposite trajectory of another musician/astronomer named Brian, that of Brian May, founder and lead guitarist for Queen. Brian May left his PhD program to become a musician full time, and didn't return to get his doctorate in astrophysics until relatively recently.
@@karlhinzeI think he only toured with D:Ream and wasn't in their recordings
@@billyeveryteen7328Dexter Holland, frontman and guitarist for The Offspring, has a PhD in Molecular Biology.
He isn't a typical genius is good storyteller.
It gives me good vibes just listening to him.
He could speak 2 hours about a rice sack in china and I would be all into his lecture.
surprisingly there is limited information about rice sacks in china...I'm not sure it could fill 1 hour let alone 2
It is so rare to find qualities even close to what Brian Cox possesses. He is a true genius that can teach complex ideas to all of us! He has a fabulous sense of humor and he's adorable too! Well rounded gentle-genius man!
I adore when science communicators can make these facts understandable to the rest of us ❤️
He had me at treacle
I mean he's a professor. It's literally his job.
@@remnant24 hopefully you never have some of the professors I did, who couldn't explain their field of study to us students let alone a late-night audience!
@@lb5368 he's not JUST a professor lol educating the public is his whole job.
@@viroxd which is why I called him a science communicator in my comment.
If you haven't watched it because you're under 20 in the UK, or are in the U.S or another country where it wasn't shown, I encourage you to watch ''Wonders of the Universe'', from around 2010 or so. Mind blowing amazing BBC doc by Professor Cox.
Sure.
Professor Cox never ages.
According to theoretical physics, everything is happening all at once; past, present and future. So yeah, he’s some how tapped into that and doesn’t age!
But also, this interview is from 2013
@@lb5368 You are correct. I was pointing out that Professor Cox still looks exactly the same today.
@@charlockprime oops, I misunderstood. He really doesn't age!
@@lb5368 No worries! It's a little spooky how similar he looks still lol. He's awesome to listen to, even if half of what he talks about melts my brain.
Brian Cox is the epitome of ASMR. The dude can literally make you feel so relaxed as he explains the most complicated things.
I always assumed Conan would enjoy being around Cox.
Go home dad
and cox's academic colleague, Dr. Steven Balls
i read that as norm macdonald
Conan seems to be very fascinated by cox.
According to Conan on the podcast, it is Sona who knows her away around Cox
Could listen to Brian all day he's brilliant I'm 63 and I'm still learning
Would love to see the full original interview.
He made a wonderful appearance on Conan's podcast a few months back, excellent stuff
@EarthHart1..... Would love to see why you would think that anyone would care what you would '' love to see''?
@mark006868 you mean you would love to hear why , not see why lol and atleast one person did didn't they 😉
@@Steve0272. Nope...I'll type slowly so that you might understand...I Would love to see why you would think that anyone would care what you would '' love to see''?....cause when you read words...you can't hear them...
From the thumbnail, I thought that was Keanu Reeves with a bad wig.
It’s unbelievable that last point on Einstein.
Well interviewed, I enjoy your channel as always.
Its a pretty good channel, I hope hey make it big someday.
@@ragemachinist 🤣😂
I LOVE this stuff! Brian is cool AF. MORE PLEASE!

I want him as my physics professor in my college!! This is so interesting. He really is so humble too His 40-year-old-with-a-15-year-olds-hairstyle always makes me think of when Garth Brooks became "Chris Gaines" It's crazy how in this interview he said 350 billion galaxies in the universe but now he says there are two trillion galaxies in the little piece of the universe we belong in Cox is such a gift to Brian Well interviewed, I enjoy your channel as always. Swear they just make stuff up as they go along
Science on a very very deep level becomes philosophy..but it's awesome to get to that level.
Conan is living proof of the Oh My God Particle Well I haven't been this early to Conan Before and btw this interview is the best!! Yep, what a great mind he has love listening to him talking Wait till somebody tells him that, to a topologist, his cup is actually a donut. I have never heard the Conan Audience so quiet xD Don’t forget the boson part. Satyendra Nath Bose invented boson and Higgs extended upon it. Often overlooked due to lack of enough mentions. Read more about him and you will be enlightened. Exactly why I love science. I love this man Love from Nepal to all team Conan Two of my favorite people! I understood it better when Conan explained it Looked like Keanu Reeves on the thumbnail with a scene haircut Prof cox If Keanu Reeves were clean-shaved, had a British accent, and was a scientist, he would be Brian Cox xD Thief: Give me all your money Brian: "Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool." Voltaire In 2013 we thought there were 350 billion galaxies and now we think it's 3 trillion... I wanna watch Conan chat with Ray Comfort i like his curiosity ... Sweet person Actually... Brian Cox is a smiling titan
Brian is such a delight to watch and listen to. The polar opposite of Neil the ass Tyson. Conan (iq 160) listens to Brian (iq 183) and looks like a question mark I needed to sit next to that guy during tests in School Reminds me of a video I watched about how babies start existing Looks like he predicted what Keanu Reeves would look like 9 years later. Oh, I cried. Conan's Daughter | Late Night with Conan O’Brien Brian Cox is a cutie. his smile is too much to handle too No man or woman can possibly understand what this miracle we live in is or where it came from. Everybody just takes their word for it. He is our present-day Carl Sagan. Where can I watch full episodes???? He is like Sheldon Cooper with a mirror personality You wouldn't want to be in the same school class as Brian Cox... You'd feel like a right thicko. So does that mean if this condensed chrysalis ever shattered, everything everywhere would pull in and collide with each other. Except light of course. A true intellectual, ı hope one day everybody becomes sort of Brian, and then surely we will become a real modern civilization but until then we suck. Say the full name Higgs-Boson particle. Please include the date of these segments ....love to go through the whole thing Still waiting for him to explain what the Higgs particle is. Slightly oversimplified. The reason our hands don't pass through each other is the Pauli Exclusion Principle; the electrons essentially push each other away. The Higgs Mechanism gives everything mass, which is why they don't travel at the speed of light. Hence the analogy to maple syrup. Damn it Keanu is smart as hell Watching this reminded me of the time in my childhood when I was introduced to Bill Nye. Absolutely fascinating stuff. Wow, This is the guy in X-Men who kidnapped those kids and knows Wolverine. About Cosmology without a Big Bang, how can you have inflation without a Big Bang? It would distribute mass too evenly as if modeled by an inflating balloon or a dandelion gone to seed. Inflation was more like condensation. A cloud of vapor condenses raindrops which by comparison make the cloud seem huge. We call the raindrops "aggregate particles of mass" because they snuggle; they set the standard of measure. We need more people like him on this earth, less flat-earthers, and less anti-vaxxers.
Keanu reeves should play this guy’s life in a biopic
This is so interesting. He really is so humble too ❤
Cox is such a gift to brian ❤
Two of my favourite people!
Yep what a great mind he has love listening to him talking 👍👍👍👍👍
Well I haven't been this early to Conan Before and btw this interview is the best!!
Love from nepal to all team conan
We thank you all, the people of Nepal. You're a bunch of brilliant beautiful people.
NEPAL!!! N-E-P-A-L!!! VIVA NEPAL!!! VIVA NEPAL!!!
I want him as my physics professor in my college!!
He's lack of arrogance is very handsome indeed.
it's crazy how in this interview he said 350 billion galaxies in the universe but now he says there's two trillion galaxies in the little piece of the universe we belong in
theykeep discovering new galaxies, as and when the light from their stars reach us
Yes. He's often now saying 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. So there could be a lot more.
We can't actually count all the galaxies individually so we see about how much there are in a small patch of sky and extrapolate that number out to the scale of the observable universe. One problem we've had is that the Milky Way blocks our view of a decent chunk of the universe so as our technology gets better and we devise clever ways to get around that problem we can start seeing more of the universe and updating our theories and estimates.
2 trillion galaxies with 400bil or plantes in each glaxy
These 2 trillion galaxies is what we can see and count ,there could be must be 100 trillion or infinite that we can't see each having 500 bil plantes
I love this man
Get in line.
His 40-year-old-with-a-15-year-olds-hairstyle always makes me think of when Garth Brooks became "Chris Gaines"
Prof cox 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Science on a very very deep level becomes philosophy..but it's awesome to get to that level.
I understand it better when Conan explained it😀
So fascinating. ❤❤
Szellemek léteznek. Csak cox még nem találkozott velük és nem észlelte. Remélem egyszer majd fogja
Exactly why I love science.
Don’t forget the boson part. Satyendra Nath Bose invented boson and Higgs extended upon it. Often overlooked due to lack of enough mentions. Read more about him and you will be enlightened.
They always do

Oha, I cried.

Sweet person ❤

😂😂 Good one!
But what kind of melon? Watermelon? Cantaloupe? Inquiring minds wanna know, man (no, seriously though, I like listening to Brian Cox. He's great)
Doesn't matter it's a bullshit theory. It's basically a sciencey version of the "cosmic egg". Meaning that all comes from one and is one. And the occultists want to reunite us in to the singularity. LOL you are so confused now, have fun
@@antonjuntunen6557 No, I'm fine. I don't really care about your ramblings about "the occultists"--whoever they are.
@@kit2770 LOL
@@antonjuntunen6557 Yup, lol. Good one.
He said melon. That's what he meant. Not watermelon Not cantaloupe but melon. Look up the definition of melon. There's a melon. You are twisting my melon man.
Looked like Keanu Reeves on the thumbnail with a scene haircut
i like his curiosity ...
Please include the date of these segments ....love to go through the whole thing
they always do include the date, check the description (07/16/13)
If Keanu Reeves were clean shaved, had a British accent and was a scientist, he would be Brian Cox xD
Got to see his lecture and had the chance to ask him a question.
What did you ask and what was his answer? Would love to get to one of his lectures
@@RB-ib3mo Got to ask him if he had the ability to go back in time to tell Carl Sagan about one new discovery in science what would it be? He said would tell him how close we're to the theory of Everything... which is combining Quantum Dynamics and Theory of Relativity/General Relativity. The world of the small with the world of the big.
I wanna watch Conan chat with Ray Comfort
Wait till somebody tells him that, to a topologist, his cup is actually a donut.
A true intellectual, ı hope one day eveybody becomes sort of Brian an then surely we will become a real modern civilistion bu until then we suck.
That would be nice indeed. However, I wonder if there aren’t physiological barriers. For example, I would love to run as fast as Usain Bolt, but my body just isn’t built the same. So is that true for intellect??? That some people’s brains such as Professor Cox’s is physically different from most peoples? And that’s nothing to say about all the traumatic brain injuries and how that affects one cognition. But I’m kind of in line with Christopher Hitchens; that would be a boring world!! Yes, we can do so much better with our frontal cortexes, but….
Something to think about using the brains we have!
Cheers!
@@thelostone6981 Not necessarly in the same branch if not Brian then might be Jimi Hendrix for instance,ı dream an intellectual world.
@@thelostone6981 there may be phsysiological barriers to his level of understanding, but there is nothing phsysiological about the fact that science education has been undermined by political hacks and religious zealots specifically to create a political environment where educators and scientists are treated with contempt so that corporations can profit while the world burns.
Civilization will collapse and most of us will die.
2013 we thought there was 350 billion galaxies and now we think its 3 trillion...
OK? We once thought the earth was flat
Actually... Brian Cox is a smiling titan
I needed to sit next to that guy during tests in School
He probably would just have distracted you by singing silly pop songs 😉
No man or woman can possibly understand what this miracle we live in is or where it came from. Everybody just takes their word for it.
Reminds me of a video I watched about how babies start existing
"Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool."
Voltaire
Only now it's 2 trillion galaxies and we are sure that's a very small part of the universe.
You wouldn't want to be in the same school class as Brian Cox... You'd feel like a right thicko.
Unless you're one of his science bros 😎
Imagine how he’d wreck the bell curve!
He's an idiot. I'd be ashamed to be in his class.
*Is that Neil DeGrasse Tyson laughing for a second about **1:12**?*
Looks like he predicted what Keanu Reeves would look like 9 years later.
Damn keanu is smart as hell
lol
He os our present day Carl Sagan.
So does that mean if this condensed chrysalis ever shattered, everything everywhere would pull in and collide with each other. Except light of course.
Thief: Give me all your money

Wooowww👏😘
This is the guy in xmen that kidnapped those kids and knows wolverine.
brian cox is a cutie. his smile is too much to handle too😋😋
Watching this reminded me of the time in my childhood when i was introduced to Bill Nye. Absolutely fascinating stuff.
Still waiting for him to explain what the Higgs particle is.
He did, he just explained it quickly: Higgs makes objects that have mass move like molasses through spacetime. Anything that does not travel at C (the speed of light) is affected by the Higgs field and thus has a speed slower than C. Objects that move at C, like light waves and gravity waves, are unaffected by the Higgs field
@@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs Okay, but how does that make it the God particle??
@@Cosmo-Kramer "God particle" is just a name, not the actual thing. But I suppose without the Higgs field everything would be massless and travel at C and therefore time wouldn't exist because time requires spacetime to be warped due to the presence of mass.
So in other words without the Higgs boson the big bang and the heat death of the universe would be the same moment, but Higgs makes stuff happen in between those events
@@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs Well, the HB may be essential to the existence of everything we know and can see/detect, but it is not unique in that way. We, and all we know/see/detect, would not exist were it not for gravity. "God Particle" is a bad name, a transparent attempt by scientists to diminish the belief in the existence of a creator.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Higgs is responsible for gravity. Objects with mass warp spacetime to produce the effect known as gravity. Higgs is responsible for giving objects mass.
There are leading religious figures in the Vatican church for example who are very invested in science and don't see it as undermining the existence of a creator whatsoever
Don't forget the pioneer of this Field - SN Bose...whose work Einstein used to prov Einstein Bose Statistics
He is like Sheldon Cooper with mirror personality
Universul e un castel din apă şi pământ, sărbători în calea timpului, aventură în natură.
I can't get my head around these predictions made from 1916 and that era were just equations on paper, its mind blowing for a stupid person such as myself
About Cosmology without a Big Bang, how can you have inflation without a Big Bang? It would distribute mass too evenly, as if modeled by an inflating balloon or a dandelion gone to seed. Inflation was more like condensation. A cloud of vapor condenses rain drops which by comparison make the cloud seem huge.

This interaction is Conan O Brian Cox
Higgs Boson
sounds like Monty Python song
For people interedted you can watch the press conference they did at the time of the discovery in Geneva. I's a bit more explicative.
Hmm sounds like a very responsible use of money, energy, and breathe to explain!
Damn, Richie Sambora knows about physics?
Sap hm. I always related it to like a popularity contest between atoms.
Conan (iq 160) listen to Brian (iq 183) and looks like a questionmarke😂
I wish I could understand any of this
This unfair how this guy look so cool and have a nerd brain at the same time😮
Because he was in a rock band once and so was Brian May of Queen fame,he got his PhD in astrophysics not long ago from Imperial College no less.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. How I wonder what you are.
In Alice in Wonderland, the Dormouse recites his rendention: "twinkle twinkle little bat". He also tells a story about 3 ladies who live at the bottom of a treacle well.
Why feild is formed is because of the layers. Time travel to the past is an illusion so is future. Except sometimes future when can get the illusion moving into a higher dimension.
Col 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things together.
If we are snatching particals together and creating the big bang . Whos to say we haven't just created a new solar system. We made our selves as we were made. Remember from miniscule things cone great things 😮
Is it weird that when I liked this video it became 666 votes on the discussion of the God particle? Naw, it'll be fine.
Keanu Jeeves
But don't even think there's a Creator behind all this complexity. It's all pure chance.
For me what if there is some kind of consciousness to all this energy and space and matter at a sub atomic level which we all just add to with every thought, experience and possibility. So even thoughts are energy and partcles/waves. I know you can't add or subtract from energy but the addition is consciousness built into the energy. And is the reason turrtles know to race to the ocean to avoid being eaten by hawks as soon as they are hatched, or why writers can dip into creative flow, or an athlete can experience being in the zone, etc. Making us all God. It's the opposite of all knowing. We can take from it and give back to it. It need us and everything else all to go back into the energy that makes up everything. Making us all God. And this little window of time of existence is a little play we are all putting on for ourselves. We are God's eyes and ears in this material world. Now stop wasting my time and let me get back to my second toke.
@@adolescentwombat It's an interesting thought, but essentially flawed. All these thoughts, experiences, and possibilities would just crash meaninglessly into one another producing directionless energy. That wouldn't square with the observable course of history that has some kind of order and purpose.
@@JLaw954 order and pupopse. You know even the Universe is decaying right even as it expands. This how all this works. Eventually ending in a big chill. For me that's when it retracts again and it all starts all over again.
Oh and enegy doesn't crash into each other at the smallest levels. It is all one field at that level. It is all one thing. Now add the leap of faith of consciousness on top of that and you got an almost divine like intelligence.

"Except for light. That doesn't interact with mass." Oh? I always though the proof for Einstein's theory of general relativity, being able to see stars behind an eclipse of the moon. Was Refraction of the light particles by the gravity of that large body (the moon). I keep hearing scientists saying ridiculous things based upon that theory all the time. Including time travel.
Both of them have close to genius iq
I’m frustrated with Conan in close proximity to cox. I understand his role as the interviewer with interviewee but Cox is a genius and immensely entertaining. Just let the man talk. No jokes about mugs or mollasus are required. Allow the genius to speak. Hes entertaining enough.
More than.
Why dont conan come back with this show?
Cox will not give Peter Higgs the credit!!
