From an 11 year gap since this presentation was published, the changes in knowledge are fascinating.
Watching Cox makes me happy.
Watch don`t Suck.
It makes people uncomfortable, when we have to see that.
@@decadent. Dude that's 8 years ago.
@@lennox2223 My original comment was 8 years ago..
@@lythsian idk if you got the joke, but it's more astonishing that you came back to your comment from 8 years ago!
@@capt.heinrich6945 It gave me a notification.
11 years old and still incredibly enjoyable, thanks.
A perfect afternoon Brian and Jim my favourite physicists and the sun is shining. What a great day
I listen to both these gentlemen for hours and am a dropout, they are fascinating.
Exactly !
Now you’ve grown and found things you enjoy thinking about! There is so much fun in learning…
There are many angry and grumpy scientists and professors everywhere nowadays but Professor Brian Cox is amazingly different.
He is a great physicist.
🙄 🤔
Probably....
Don't really know of an angry, grumpy person in science. You may be conflating characters created by media and or the arts.
His positive personality is infectious. He makes science itself happy even!
lol. yeah, sure.
Jim's docs are outstanding, and Cox's new series 'wonders of life' is awesome.
I told my father that I like to think that there are professors out there who are more intelligent than me. My father said "Well there are, and that's a fact!"
I am a bit worried that I might be cleverer than everyone else!
I don't want to be! I hate standing out!
I'd love to have my mind and brain completely wasted in subjects I know about by far better brains than myself!
I watched wonders of life
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Trash more like it
Jim & Brian Cox's lectures on science broaden my thoughts and light my ways for future.
How do their brains fit in their heads? Astounding!
Oh a hidden gem! Two of my favourite scientists - awesome.
Isn't it just? 😊
Mine too!! They are also really good to teach science to the people.
Exactly what I thought when I found this tonight! Where has it been hiding?! :)
me too!!
Love how he narrates his shows, clear precise and with someone with a interest starting out on the subject very understandable. Its hard not to love him and his shows.
@Mick Ronson he is a perfectly normal-looking man from Lancashire.
It's impossible to dislike this guy. He just seems so awesome in every possibly way.
With that permanent grin he is a laxative
I
Whoa!
Yes… like Carl Sagan & Richard Feynman…all love science & can communicate their ideas and love…
Brian is infectious. His enthusiasm and energy is a joy to watch.
He's right at 13:00, science should be part of popular culture, but it takes someone like himself and/or Neil deGrasse Tyson (in the US) to make science palatable to the masses. Both of these guys are natural TV personalities; entertaining and capable of translating technical language into plain English. We just need a few more of these guys.
Its a conundrum for sure. Scientists tend not to be very camera ready or extraverted... and i doubt we can do much about that.
I think though that the 'citizen science' presenters online could step up to the plate a little more. Or maybe do more interviews with actual scientists online.
For example Joe Scott who is by no means a scientist does a really good job at raising topics for discussion.
Jim and Brian Cox are two of my fav Science presenters at the moment. Carl Sagan and Sir Patrick Moore are my two all time favourites. Cosmos and The Sky at Night were unmissable viewing while growing up.
I recommend the new cosmos series - hosted by Neil De Grasse Tyson.
Jim is the best Tv science presenter by far. The history of experiments is the best way of showing what's going on in Physics, Chemistry etc.
He has inspired me and i love his passion for science and how he simplifies everything and how down to earth he is.
Two outstanding educators and presenters of science. Great video, more of the same please.
What a treat. To stand in the same room as them listening to them discuss the various facets of such a lovely subject.
Both good at exploring and explaining how to use mathematics and physics to understand our world.
If they want, I can make a rainbow with a garden hose.
Love Prof Cox he's always iteresting and upbeat, with a great smile.
This was a fantastic talk! Glad to see it online finally :)
Brian Cox is a dude!! I'm not at all Scientific myself but I could sit and listen to his ideas for hours. I love all he shows. The man's a inspiration.
A true scientist is one who both accepts criticism and is able to convey facts with backing (and argument) from colleagues. Brian Cox is one of the many good science communicators of our age who has shown amazing resilience and understand of science. I think Carl Sagan and his contemporaries did an awesome job in bringing out the modern science communicator for our benefit and for the advancement of science. I look forward to future generations who will benefit from Brian and lead the future of this great endeavour.
Brilliant interview
two excellent communicators of science, science is all we need in the real world. I believe in the future education, and especially scientific education will unite all humans, then we can begin living as we should always have, without superstition and shady institutions causing suffering. Shine on Brian and Jim.
Fascinating coverage, even though I watched Brian meets Jim first.
Love how someone asked if they'd do another show together and how they were marvelous on the time travel show they did (which they hadn't done at this point). Except 2 years after this interview (in 2013) they do actually do a doctor who show about time travel :).. So someone was VERY insightful indeed!
So Brian was a keyboard player for a pop band as well as doing a PhD in physics at the same time! WOW!
Brian May - Queen lead guitarist, has a PhD in Astronomy and physics! On 17 November 2007, May was appointed Chancellor of Liverpool John Moore's University. Clever guy!
Thanks for the reply, Adam!
Brian May ( b.1947 ) like Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson ( b.1958 ) has been claimed to be a polymath.
Some pop / rock brains!
Bruce Dickinson is a heavy metal singer and songwriter, airline pilot, record producer, author, television presenter and has been or still is one of the world's best competitive fencers. He is a businessman too and is if all this isn't enough, a devoted family man! WOW!
He achieved 3 A-Levels from school in History, English and Economics.
I thought Brian Harold May had a PhD in astrophysics and an MA in mathematics. I think he has achieved 12 O-Levels and I think, 4 A-Levels! He has written the songs Hammer to Fall, Tie Your Mother Down and Fat Bottomed Girls for the rock group Queen.
You may already know this but each of the original band members of Queen had a degree.
Paul Simon ( b.1941 ) and Art Garfunkel ( b.1941 ) are exceptionally clever too!
Paul Fredrick Simon has a degree in English literature, studied law at university, and whether IQ is nonsense or not, has an IQ of 155! As well as writing the poem / song The Sound of Silence' among other masterpieces.
Arthur Garfunkel studied architecture, has a BA in art history and an MA in mathematics. He is an avid reader and bibliophile and is an established singer, poet and actor.
Jim Morrison ( 1943 - 1971 ) had an IQ of 140 and was a very well read person who loved strange and unusual literature, as well as being a poet.
And despite the name, the band members of The Zombies were all college or university students, I think, one if I am right? becoming or training to be a medical doctor?
With Best Wishes!
Cheers - Mike.
Do you live in Australia, Adam?
Was Brian May appointed chancellor of Liverpool's John Moore's University partly or mainly due to his fame as a celebrity though, although I am not disputing the fact he is brilliant!
Just for fun, Adam!
To put pretty much every single brain who has ever lived into perspective, although he is NOT a pop or rock star, consider -
Professor, John von Neumann ( 28 December, 1903 - 8 February, 1957 )
Hungarian-American, Jewish Pure and Applied Mathematician, Physicist, Inventor, Computer Scientist and Polymath.
He made major contributions to a number of different fields including -
MATHEMATICS
Foundations of Mathematics, Functional Analysis, Ergodic Theory, Geometry, Topology and Numerical Analysis.
PHYSICS
Quantum Mechanics, Hydrodynamics and Quantum Statistical Mechanics.
ECONOMICS
Game Theory
COMPUTING
von Neumann Architecture, Linear Programming, Self Replicating Machines and Stochastic Computing
STATISTICS
He was a Translator, Polyglot, Chemist, Amateur Historian and Mathematical Prodigy who at the age of 8 could divide two-8 digits numbers in his head, and was fluent in Ancient Greek!
Cheers - Mike.
brilliant, inspiring, wonderful.
both men brilliantly describe the boundary-breaking expansion of knowledge, from the superstitious days of complete ignorance to their current understanding of reality. and yet they oppose without discussion any theory or evidence that isn't in accord with their current understanding of reality.
Went to Brian meets Jim yesterday, was an amazing event
he's very soothing to watch.
What a charming chat! Brian Cox is a pleasure to listen. I don't have a science playlist, so I put this on my "Nature & Evolution" CZcams Playlist.
thankyou university of Surrey.. this is great! 🙂
ten years ago!?
The Secret Life of Chaos, easily ranks alongside Cosmos as one of the most relevant documentary's of our time.
wo0t my favorite two professors.. you know i wish they could teach me at college.. i bet the subject will be very clear and easy because of them

If you do . You will react one of two ways .
1 Cognitive dissonance . This cannot be true . "Uncle Brian is nothing like Emmanuel Goldstein . He would not lie ..."
2 WTF !! The world is much more interesting and mysterious than we have been told.
met jim at a university open day, really great guy.
hope to meet brian some day.
two of the best minds ever
David Attenborough, JimAl-Khalili and Brian Cox influenced me greatly to subscribe to National Geography, Discovery channel and Eden...since then, its been a wild ride!!
Genuinely great guy with a passion for everything positive in the World.

The only Man I know that keeps the amazing wonder that is science , totally within the GRASP of Children. They are Our Future and Investment. We are only custodians of this Planet. Children will take Our DNA and knowledge into the FUTURE. X Mark 💞
Bright spirit of joy... contagious
Great minds and great communicators.
Thanks so much for putting this up, two of my favourite modern day physicists shooting the shit
Two great science mentors of this Generation 👌👌👍👍👍
Briliant, my two favourite Professors.
The answer to when you would go to was pretty epic.. I dont think I've ever heard anyone say that before, usually it is to meet specific people.. That is probably the most perfect answer ever for that question!
I do t think Brian will ever turn into that thank you very much!
love both of them, can't believe that the cameraman didn't properly focus his camera on Brian. :)
How did I not know about this?? My two favorite science communicators 1 on 1...
What a dude, no ego, clever as, very interesting to listen to. Can't wait to see his Horizons show in Nottingham
Another Hawking? LOL. 🤩 😯 WOW! ↩️
I knew there was a reason I loved Brian Cox. He's a Beatles man....
Hair cut gives it away? 😋
@Erik Ray Uh, OK, I'll take your word for it....
This is a great interview between two great people
Brilliant interview. 😁 his career path is a great story.
Keyboard Player☑️ Sound Engineer☑️ Record Deal☑️ split band up with fight in Germany☑️ Joins D:Ream Pop group ☑️ Top of the pops appearances ☑️ Support Take That ☑️ Become Theoretical Physicist.
I am watching this show 9 years after the event. It goes without saying that anything that these two guys say is greatly worthwhile, but I am a little disappointed that it took 35 minutes of this that and the other, before Jim Al Khalili got Brian to talk about Physics. But wonderful as ever, both of them have given so much to science in the service of raising public awareness about stuff that really matters.
Well said, in total agreement. I wish more had your insight on youtube!
This needs to be in more people’s recommendations
The band was called Dare, they were a decent rock band. These two are great, always interesting and watchable.
Brian eludes a confidence and knowledgeable of expertise in science. He should not have to defend this , it speaks for its self.
thanks for this entertaining and informative talk...
good job. interesting conversations on the subject too. congratulations.🇵🇹.
I could listen to Brian all day
Twinkle twinkle little star....Brian Cox, how I wonder how wonderful you are?
I love him he's passionate about his work... And he's really easy on the eyes....
katarose4 ok Karen..
Michael Steven its 6 years ago leave her alone😂
Do you still flick your bean over him?
@@Chief_Brody cheeky
Very very good interview! Professor Jim is a great interviewer.
. . .
Aren't they lovely, nice, intelligent people!
That was a brilliant and extreamly nerdy way to spend 90 mins

Travel outside of your bubble and all these ridiculous questions of yours will be answered. Seriously, for your own sake man. For your kids if you ever have a family..
Once upon a time there was a post on CZcams complaining about our Brian's eternal smile. I defended him by explaining that it was either a healthy diet, three orgasms a day, or, high cheek-bones. Then ... wait for it ... I added - "I'll have what he's having." Seriously, I've never stolen a joke ... until now. Forgive.
Okay, if THAT opening sequence does'nt put scientists in the super hero spotlight, nothing wil! Cox has a relaxed way to convey info...love that about him!
I love this man so much
What a wonderful interview they seemed like they could have gone for a another few hours ^_^
Two of my favorite heavyweights!
At our current empirical understanding there is nothing more fundamental then science for our chance to survive as a species✌🏾
@Nilguiri Where can I find it ??? I've only been able to find parts of it on youtube. If you'd be able to send me a link or anything it would be greatly appreciated !
Damn it ! I totally didn't know he was coming to Uni ! I was there at that time. Would've been amazing to meet him :( . lythsian's comment is right. I do have a smile right now watching this conversation!
1:10:30
A Higgs Boson particle goes into a church and the vicar says "We don't want your sort in here." The Higgs Boson particle says "But you can't have mass without me!".
1:10:30
Rene Descartes walks into a sandwich bar and says "I'll have a chicken bap please." The guy behind the counter says "I can't give you that but you can have a turkey baguette." Rene Descartes says "Oh, I think not." and disappears.
Exactly my feeling. He is such a happy face guy. :)
Any idea who/ which band composed the intro music?
Brian cox is a truly amazing guy. I think he should be the face on our money :)
Thoroughly enjoyable!
Anyone got a link to the b-side mentioned at the end?
Very very good question! Light is a massless particle so yes, I guess we would become massless and would be able to move at the speed of light - However, there would also be nothing holding us together so presumably, it would not go well. However, I think you have stumbled upon a great sci-fi device there and explained how the Mass Effect Relays work (from the game of the same name)
What was the debate called that they're on about at the beginning, please!!!
The science vs religion one!!!!!
is there any video of the lecture they talked about at the very beginning of this video? The religion vs. science debate?
Brilliant and fascinating :)
WOW! MY INSPIRATION TO ASTRONOMY STEMMED ALSO FROM APOLLO 8 AND OF COURSE 11 FROM MY EARLY LEARNING AGES 12 AND 14 ,,,,,,, SKY AT NIGHT / BRILLIANT SERIES ALONG WITH THE LATE GREAT PATRICK MORE / BRAVO TO JIM AND BRIAN / KEEPING UP WITH THE TREMENDOUS IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE . ASTRONOMY AND OF COURSE THE DYNAMIC'S OF QUANTUM THEORY / BRAVO /
Two of my childhood heroes!
Brian Cox is the scientist of our time
My brother is a big fan of Duran Duran.
I love their song Ordinary World and other tracks as well.
Don't worry it won't last long.
No better evidence than this that Darwin was correct.
every time i see this guy i wanna know more of whatever he talks of ...
What is the name of the book on quantum mechanic he is talking about ?
Brian is Awesome :) a great professor :D
AMAZING!
@Nilguiri I see where ur coming from and I personally prefer Jim's documentaries too (only marginally though). I don't think this is because of any negative aspects of Brian's documentaries though. They basically cater for different audiences- Jim caters for those that already have a decent interest in Science, whereas Brian caters for people who don't usually have interest in science. The great thing about Brian's documentaries is how well they inspire the general public to become interested.
There is a point, however, that is rarely discussed. If, by exceeding the speed of light you manage to actually reverse time (the theory), there is a single instant in that acceleration where you would actually encounter a stop in time which, should you survive the trip (and be excluded from the pause), would confuse you because cause and effect is how we perceive time.
"Science should be a part of popular culture..."13 min mark: I thank you both, and some others on CZcams.
Can't remember if I watched this already..... fuck it play it again!
+Wilbur Jenkins story of my life lol +1 I must have watched a handful amount of science documentaries either drunk, high, or both. And those are the times that I enjoyed them the most and forgot them the quickest :D
+It is I +1 🙌
Depends on the definition of 'city', but La Rinconada in Peru has a population of 50,000+ Height of 6,732 feet.
I know that the highest capital city in the world is generally considered to be La Paz in Bolivia, at about 16,000ft above sea level.
I'm baked as hell right now. Here we go again!
@Nilguiri Also by Jim Al-Khalili: Atom (3 AMAZING program series on quantum mechanics) and Shock and Awe: The Story of Electricity. They don't have the "saganian" aesthetic of Wonders of the Solar System or Wonders of the Universe (music, amazing CGI, etc.), but they are absolutely marvelous.
He's so smiley! =D
I love Brian xxx
informative and enjoyable
1:06:29 what is "marmai" and what is its reference to Denmark?
