There are many angry and grumpy scientists and professors everywhere nowadays but Professor Brian Cox is amazingly different. He is a great physicist.

Brian is infectious. His enthusiasm and energy is a joy to watch.

How do their brains fit in their heads? Astounding!

Two outstanding educators and presenters of science. Great video, more of the same please.

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'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.

he's very soothing to watch.

Brilliant interview

He has inspired me and i love his passion for science and how he simplifies everything and how down to earth he is.

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.

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!!

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.

I love him he's passionate about his work... And he's really easy on the eyes....

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.

The Secret Life of Chaos, easily ranks alongside Cosmos as one of the most relevant documentary's of our time.

Bright spirit of joy... contagious

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.

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.

Briliant, my two favourite Professors.

Great minds and great communicators.

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!

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 💞

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.

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.

Brian cox is a truly amazing guy. I think he should be the face on our money :)

I do t think Brian will ever turn into that thank you very much!

The band was called Dare, they were a decent rock band. These two are great, always interesting and watchable.

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.

What a wonderful interview they seemed like they could have gone for a another few hours ^_^

Two of my childhood heroes!

Brian is Awesome :) a great professor :D

A shy Smile,Shining Cheeks,Bright Eyes and Good hair and a touch of Humour.....How come he is a Scientist??

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.

I love this man :)

I was afraid that Brian's carrier is in danger and maybe this interview is the final attempt from Jim to slow him down.... :)))) But I was wrong! Very good to see that things are controlled very well by Jim who does give a great care of the vibrations of the universe even in a situation like this... :)

What was the debate called that they're on about at the beginning, please!!! The science vs religion one!!!!!

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!

I love Brian xxx

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)

Can't remember if I watched this already..... fuck it play it again!
