They could tell you anything and you would believe it, wait till you find out it’s all nonsense, will you be able to fight the cognitive dissonance I know you’re going to experience, will you be able to be honest with yourself with an open mind when presented with evidence and an obvious proof and just obvious common sense, the real world laughs in the faces of these physicists of self proclaimed know it all’s Science isn’t what Brian says it is, there’s not one practical demonstration using tangible substances for ANY of the claims that the earth is a spinning ball in a vacuum, even Einstein said there’s not one observational experiment that can show the earth is in motion, water doesn’t conform to the exterior of shapes and objects, water has to be contained, once contained the surface will always be a level line, water is used in construction to find plumb and level, water doesn’t have the capability to support sheer stress, it’s called the horizon for a reason, horizontal, and the oceans are known as sea level, level doesn’t mean a curved line, in the real world level is a straight line, no experiment can show a gas pressure like our atmosphere existing next to a vacuum without equilibrium taking place, both have to be contained and can only exist side by side whilst both are contained, the globe is being shown for the scam it is

At 41:00 Dr. Cox talks about a particle that is theorized to exist in the Higgs field, and in the spirit of Feynman they'd have to go and look for it, in order for their theory to hold. As we now know, about a year later, Cox and all the amazing scientists at CERN discovered just that - the Higgs particle, effectively proving that the science was solid all along.

I've always had a problem with that diagram. As soon as the mirrors move, the light bounces away and you can no longer measure it between the mirrors. You know if you shine a light at a mirror and you change the angle of the mirror, the light goes off in a new direction and not back to it's source. Light will not follow the mirrors as they travel.

How to learn and why they should learn, and how infinitely awe-inspiring the Cosmos really is. Come to think of it, Carl Sagan's brilliant old Cosmos tv show should be standard school viewing for all! :)

I had a great GCSE science teacher called Miss Adams, circa 1996. She taught at Beauchamp College, Oadby, Leicester. She was a great teacher and I’m sure she still is.

If Cox's "Wonders"-series was available back when I went to school, you can bet your ass I'd be a whole lot more intereted in physics back then.

I started watching this at midnight but couldn't bring myself to stop watching until the very end, I suppose that's when you know you've been successful in communicating how interesting physics and science actually are.

Dr. Cox is such a great communicator of science, we need more people like him.

The short Feynman video was a nice touch. Thanks for posting this!

Very interesting although i have read this in books and i have watched his shows, a really good DVD is "So you think you know reality" It features Brian, its about quantum physics and includes all the stuff from "What the bleep do we know" and more, its almost 3 hours long, great for quantum beginners and if you have a thirst for understanding you will love it. It seems very hard to come by though.

Amazing! How Brian Cox handles his response to the random question at the end was truly outstanding. What an opportunity the next generation have with stepping stones like this.

He is so fantastic, you can see he honestly adores science, as do i, he simplifies everything so well , even the hardest things to understand....brilliant!!!!

ARGH!!!! Those lucky bastards! XD Seriously though this guy is incredible, I find myself fighting tiredness when I listen to other guys, but Brian is so easy to understand and has gotten myself interested in Physics and Cosmology again. There's like a 25% rise in students taking A-Level Maths and Physics, that can only be good for the future. A true inspiration for us all, not just this generation. He's made science easy for all of us to understand; he honestly deserves more than an OBE.

Something I've noticed in all of the Brian Cox lectures I've watched is that he is always smiling. I don't think that he is faking any of his enthusiasm; he really enjoys physics.

This was a brilliant lecture and really had my interest throughout. Brian Cox is a brilliant Professor and I am sure he is helping influence the next generation of Physicists.

A brilliant lecture and a wonderful testament from Brian to the importance of scientific research. Long live this kind of research! Allow the accidents of science to enrich our world - Penicillin, MRI, the internet ★

The analogies that Brian Cox presents are definitely one of the easiest ones to grasp. I've been interested in astrophysics and astronomy for 8 years now, and there are concepts which are so hard to grasp.. Like the expanding universe. The raisins in the bread analogy just made it really CLICK for me, and suddenly my mind could grasp and visualize what actually happening RIGHT NOW. When he said that I literally laughed until I cried, because something clicked in my head and I knew I finally really understood it for the first time.. I'll go out on a limb and say Brian Cox is an equal caliber of educator and science-presenter as Richard Feynman was.

Excellent one of the great minds of our century
