Huge fan of Brian Cox. He brings a child-like wonder to his content. I always learn and enjoy.

Other than Physics there is one more thing that I like about Brian's videos, the beautiful nature that his videos shares. Just amazing.

I'm sure it's very scary to hear in person, but on video the sound of the collapsing is pretty soothing, actually. It's like listening to a thunderstorm.

He also taked about something else apart from the ice collapses. Glaciars make a very powerful and distinct sound when they move - also because of all the echoes they trigger. The first time i heard it i was all alone in one of the ice tentacles of Vatnajökull, in Iceland. For a very long moment i felt like reality had been stolen away from under my feet. The sound was so strange and unconceivable that i had no common reference to explain it. There was no time, no reason, just a mix of fear and irresistible wonder. It's like a crackling howl, like a mixture between a thunderstorm and a whale chant, that can last for many seconds - from my own humble experience, in one segment of a gigantic glaciar. Brian heard it, you can see it in his smile :)

I love watching Brian's presentations. It's like watching a kid in a candy store gleefully explain to the workers how candy is made, the hardening point of rock candy and the thermal temperature needed to achieve the crystallization of sugar and corn syrup-how, not enough will result in a somewhat mushy substance whereas too high a temperature can lead to burnt flavor or candy that's too brittle and won't harden properly, how it only takes one or two degrees of temperature to differentiate between the two temperatures, sometimes...and then, out of nowhere a team of Ice Warriors pop up from one of the glaciers and take Prof. Cox captive.

Brian: Now thats something you'll never see in reverse Christopher Nolan: Challenge accepted!

This guy is fantastic. He makes physics accessible by employing these amazing explanations that use our natural world as a prop, albeit a beautiful one. Hats off to the BBC for supporting these sorts of programs. BTW, is there really any need for anyone to disparage or get competitive with other countries about their documentary content? Really?! There are wonderful documentaries made the world over by people just as dedicated and talented as Brian Cox, so let's enjoy them.

Brian Cox is the greatest Teacher, Presenter, Thinker, Soothing voice and friend there is...

I could listen to his voice explaining the Wonders of The Universe for eternity 😀 So relaxing!

What he is telling is actually what we all know and 0have known for a long time now, nothing new to anyone. But the way he gets the message over is simply brilliant and epic.

Such a great series this and the wonders of the Solar system. I don't know what I like more, the cinematography, the music or the way he makes everything understandable.

I went to see that glacier on a warmer sunny day. A fabulous spectacle. 🤓

How is it that I have been watching Brian Cox since I was a kid and now I am a grown man and he hasn't aged a day?

The definition of Genius - to solve and reveal the complex, simply. Well done BBC and BC.

I live close to that park, one of the purest airs i ever breathe for sure.

"...we all age..." - do we Brian? I know I do.

I really really loved this tv show. These gave me a dream of becoming a scientists. Thanks to BBC and Brain Cox. Hope in this year i mean 2018, there will be another tv show like this.......

Simple, yet very profound

Beautifully poetic in a way isn't it?

I really like your videos, they are great and simple. I only pick the ones where you are casual.

Amazing photography

Love the BBC - thanks for posting this.

From what I could make out, Arrow of Time = Second law of Thermodynamics in terms of entropy(disorder). In other words, Universe likes disorder and time moves in direction of entropy increase. Prof. Brian...Hats off to you as always.

I remember once seeing a documentary where an arrow in flight was used to illustrate the forward movement of time. Any responses ?

Entropy prevents water from jumping back up and reforming into the glacier. Things always move towards a lower energy state.

Reminds me 2011, early teenage years.

very nice my friend I like it

4:27 is where idea of Tenet was born!

Brian Cox is living up to the legacy of public science teacher of the great Carl Sagan I think.

Can anyone point me to the video where Brian Cox references somewhere in spacetime is 'your first Christmas with your grandparents' long shot, but if anyone has a vague idea of what I'm talking about let me know please

yea thats exactly what i was thinking thats why we have waterfalls not water rises but im sure he has some sort of explanation for it he's the man

Time exists because of a singularity that occurred billions of years ago (the big bang). Before that, our entire universe was smaller than a pin prick but contained all of space, time and matter. It is the most highly ordered state known to science (or you could say it had the lowest entropy ever known). Then something happened inside our tiny, highly ordered universe that gave particles mass. We don't yet know exactly why it happened yet (possibly due to a very slight imbalace/spin in the universe's highly ordered particles interacting with the Higgs field) but we do know that it gave birth to both time and space, releasing incomprehensible amounts of energy in the process. The energy, motion, time and space created all move from a highly ordered state to a lower ordered state and eventually all energy space and time will dissipate from the unvierse. Entropy calculates that this is the most overwhelmingly probable outcome. At that point, all possible past present and futures will coexist simultaneously and time will have no meaning. So it's true to say that entropy and therfore time do exist but the past, present and future are just explanations of how we humans perceive the universal forces that change matter to a less ordered state. Its just dumb humans... observing entropy... relative to us.

I think I would enjoy him telling me off lol , Could listen to him all day..

Change is permanent and irreversible. How true and universal!

"It's just the present we're in that's always changing that seems to make time appear'

Fascinating my name is Bobby Johnson

I think, we don't see things in reverse because of the laws of physics not because time goes in one direction. At some point some things may appear as happening in reverse but the same rules hold as before. The world is a made of fields that propagate like waves and interfere or interact and emerge or collapse.

Add to bucket list: see glacier.

@jegr38 haha - damn you were right. you probably didn't even see how right you were about that....

I used to travel in time, but then I took an arrow to the knee

If there was no change in state would there be time ? If there was no activity at all but perfect endless stillness, would there be time, or the passage of time ? Are all these changes caused and brought about by time ?

everyone in awe at this guy - the way he talks and makes amazing videos - oooh aaah - unfortunately they fail to see - he's wrong

@VerucaBucket Maybe DireTheDecadent is the Host's KZread username, and your comment about James Blunt really got to him... it would to me!

Its the extremely simple and basic stuff that dumbfounds me, like how destruction of an object can be put into entropy and a mathematical equation. I just think of it like its just there or just happens. Never thought why. Its like asking what the definition of "the" or "is" is.

Though Perito Moreno is an Argentine glaciar, Northen and Southern ice fields are Chilean

urrrg the way he keeps saying glacier hehehe

4:22 Nolan's behind the camera cameo.

cool.

@luckyluke013 And that's what makes entropy so interesting :P

hoi leuk filmpje man:) xx emmy

This guy is today's Sagan

Anyway - America isn't too bad with it's own shows about nature and the universe, but I do agree that there should definitely be more consistent programming, not just one show about the universe and then 10 showings of "Ice-Road Truckers"

@hackajim The universe does move from order to disorder. He talks of the "endless cycle of life" because the unimaginable scale of time makes it seem as if it is endless. The "heat death" of the Universe will theoretically happen in ten trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion years. Human beings can't really comprehend that amount of time.

@daeamarth Part of the whole deal is that the entire universe is aging irreversibly. It's not a continual cycle. Eventually the galaxies will drift apart and no galaxy will be able to see any other galaxy. Stars will generally all become old and cold, with very few new stars born. You could say that even now we are at the stage of the universe where no new galaxies are formed, they only collide to form amalgamations, and one day even that will stop.

As far as I'm concerned, no other man should be allowed to talk about science and the universe. Only Professor Cox.

Entropy, baby!

i doubt it.

got a link?

There's nothing in the laws of physics which prevents the ice from jumping out of the water and back onto the glacier ? Gravity, maybe?

Time is responsible for the existence of matter,, one of the major factors is a positive infinite number. Time is a reassertion so a past is known, movement isn’t required.

Me watching these 5 minutes videos ive become cleverer than my teacher

He kinda look like the Australian stand up comedian James Smith :)

@jegr38 i just meant that im sure you didn't come back and see the big huge argument that started between cruelty2 and the other person commenting after you left your comment.... But, good definition of trolling :)

The science in this video is also glacially slow. David Attenborough would definitely appreciate this though. I think entropy is the name of the game here. Much as I admire Brian Cox, a concept of 'time's arrow' is misleading and metaphysical at best.

the glassy air

You can throw all the phyisics known to mankind into explaining this arrow of time malarkey, but it doesn't explain the paradox of how Prof Brian Cox fails to age.

Attenborough vs Cox? Discuss (IMHO Attenborough still rules, but I appreciate the efforts of others like Cox to approximate the combination of great footage, simple explanations of complex dynamics, and emotive music to capture 'drama' in the natural world)

I completely agree with your opinion, he feels like everyone's wise grandfather. Yet if I am to take an unbiased stand, I would have to say IMHO, one cannot compare the 2. Both are wonderful minds teaching us of our incredibly beautiful and intricate, yet mysterious and dangerous world. This type of knowledge and passion cannot be compared, only needed in this day and age.

3:47 This confused me a bit. Sure, there's no law in physics saying "water molecules can't move away from the centre of the Earth" but they can't just spontaneously do that because they'd be moving from a low energy state to a high energy state; it would require a source of energy to make that happen. I know that's kind of his point but it's just a weird way of expressing it. He makes it sound like "ice doesn't fly because entropy"... well no, ice doesn't fly because gravity.
