WILTY - Did Brian Cox Spill Yoghurt in the Hadron Collider REACTION

[@Max_Flashheart]

Professor Brian Cox is an English physicist and musician who is professor of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester and the Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science. He makes a lot of brillant tv shows about Life, the Universe and Everything... He was also in a band called D:Ream that had a UK number 1 hit called "Things Can Only Get Better"

Professor Brian Cox is a legend. He is a lecturer at the University of Manchester, and he makes a lot of Physics documentaries, which have made physics very accessible. He was also a member of a band that had a few hits in the 1990’s. I’ve been to a few of his shows (he tours with lectures) and he is amazing!!

Brian Cox is very unusual because he is not only a brilliant scientist, but able to communicate complex issues to "ordinary people" (verbally and in writing) and reveal his great sense of humour, engaging audiences about things which would otherwise not be understandable/relatable like the Collider. He has been on a few of these shows and is also v quick witted and funny!

[@thekaratekidpartii2169]

Brian Cox was in a band called D-Ream that had a few hits in the 90s. And there's actually an old law in England that states if you have two or more pop songs charting in the Top 10, you are legally entitled to become a professor in any field of your choosing. He chose physics. I actually studied for my bachelor's degree under Sporty Spice back in the early 2000s when she was professor of mathematics at Oxford University.

The LHC is the largest, most powerful machine on the planet. It accelerates particles to 7 tera electronvolts (99.9999991% of the speed of light), in opposite directions and smashes them together to create conditions similar to the big bang. You should check out a video about it.

[@Jamienomore]

I know for a fact that someone I know wrote to Prof Cox Twice at Manchester. The first time was regarding how easy it is to build an Anti-Gravity Craft. If you surround the Craft with the Anti-Gravity, an Orb as stupid People call it, it makes Anti-G Force. Would he be interested in being told how to do it. He did not reply. The second time was when my Friend saw him and a Woman Talking about 'Time' on something. They both got it Badly wrong. Again, he did not reply. That Proves he is nowhere near as Intelligent as he thinks he is. TIME is simple to understand if you throw everything Science says about it out the window.

The reason people worry is that neither of you know much about grammar.

The idea that anyone doesn't know about it is baffling. "Not our field" seems to cover general knowledge. It just baffles me that Americans seem so uninterested in everything.

This is a very unfair comment. It’s sad that you felt that you needed to tell us this. Grammar? I don’t know what you’re referring to. Have we made some grammatical mistakes before. I’m sure. But to question our ability to do our job is extremely disrespectful as you have never seen us do our job. This KZbin channel is for reacting to comedy. We’re not trying to models of perfection.

I love the comments in these sorts of things. About 50% of them are from the equivalent of proud parents showing off how well their child is doing at school. I half expect some to also write something like ‘and his teacher says he’s reading two years above his age band’. It’s the same with Al Murray. I know it’s well intentioned and all that but there is the mildest implication of a vicarious (I was only one year above my reading level) nature, as if it’s the sort thing we’ve all done but don’t like to say. Carry on Uk.

Brian Cox does a lot of documentaries, especially on cosmology. Watching documentaries are probably the best way to educate yourself and children because you seem to absorb the knowledge better than if you take it from a book. Education standards Things we learnt at school in the 60s and the 70s i’m not talk to children anymore. This probably applies in America as well as here in Britain. Something for you to try. Ask questions that people should know. I’ve tried this, I’ve asked people what makes the tides coming in and out and see how many different answers you get. Personally, I think the greatest gift a teacher can give is not always the knowledge of the ability to Think and absorb knowledge
