Brian Cox endures extreme G's - Wonders of the Universe w Brian Cox - BBC

To celebrate World Space Week we're uploading clips from Wonders of the Universe with Professor Brian Cox. Brian takes a face distorting trip in a centrifuge to explain how it is that gravity achieves its great power. Starting with the gravity on Neptune, Jupiter and then off to the extreme gravity of newly discovered Exoplanets.
Having explored the wonders of the solar system, Professor Brian Cox steps boldly on to an even bigger stage - the universe. Who are we? Where do we come from? For thousands of years humanity has turned to religion and myth for answers to these enduring questions. But in this series, Brian presents a different set of answers - answers provided by science.

The only way you can make Brian Cox stop smiling.

[@dvans5435]

😂btw he's a nice man + scientist. I like his personality.

[@devaraputra8830]

Lol wkwkwk

He was actually smiling, but it looked like he wasn’t do to the g force. You can see it on the end.

[@raydani8748]

First time I've seen him not smiling

[@sihop9220]

Hmmm 5 G aye ! Thats 250 mph; escape velocity for a rocket going to space is 25,000 mph which is 100 G, so if those guys can bear 100G and Cox cant even bear 5G, that makes him a wimp who wont be booking any of Richard Branstons space tours, i mean even Tim Peak managed to play a game on his smart phone while traveling at 100G. Or maybe they just dont put people in rockets ..

I remember watching this on telly and we have audio description stuck on (stil on) and it came out with 'Brians face now resembles that of an aged rockstar'...how that clears things up for a blind person I have no idea....

So only hard gravity can erase his smile.

When they spun him down, it looked like he was aging in reverse.

I think that's the first time I've seen him not smiling, heh took 5G to do it

A little mistake at 0:57. Jupiter has 1300 times larger _volume_ than Earth, but because of its much lower density the _mass_ is only 318 times that of Earth.

Only time Coxy looked old

so.. at 5g anyone can look like steve tyler? or is that just brian

"You looked a little different" A LITTLE?

Things Can Only Get Droopy.

[@venkatbabu1722]

Just when you are in that kind of swing with 5 g the pressure increases. A little bit raise in temperature. Looses control of heat beat. Breathing difficulty. Etc.

[@xocsm_]

nah they done my mans dirty in the thumbnail hehe

[@deislfume]

This is a very astute statement backed up. of course, with an emphatic curse!! Thanks Helo, for your enlightening comment.

[@FlemishBloke]

[@jamiew1664]

reminds me of that scene from moonraker with roger moore.....roger goes in one of these spinny things

[@grindlemarka]

Plus they wear special suits that inflate to put pressure on the body, particularly the legs, so they don't black out. The body can put up with some crazy things. -Maine-

Anthoine hubert the f2 driver who died last year in a head on collision experienced 90g of deceleration

[@toast1589]

They messed up his name in the title and no one noticed??

[@LegionDesu]

the more you spin the older you get :D

[@Jamie6ish]

Regardless of what you think of Tom Cruise, but whilst filming / training for Top Gun he was supposedly reaching 9 G's whilst flying the jets. Now put that into perspective 😂

[@victoriawatson3961]

Dang!

[@MUFFINHEAD1985]

Remind me never to get stoned with him.

[@whistlingbanshee5038]

Watch Brian Cox age 50 years before your very eyes...

[@amct1019]

Sustaining 5G with no straining exercises and little experience is quite an impressive tolerance.

[@welln0w]

my question is, does the spinning make him feel bad or is it the force of the gravity and if we can simulate higher gravitational acceleration on earth from a spinning apparatus, does that mean you would feel dizzy on another planet due to higher gravity? or does higher gravity feel the same as being spun around on a merry go round?

[@BRAWGWill]

His wig stayed on quite nicely there. Hi Cox, thanks for the help buddy ;)

[@jererojasg]

with 5Gs he looks like Mick Jagger

[@maxedgerton2374]

I'm so curious as to what actually makes his appearance change? It's like his skin shrinks and wrinkles. What causes this exactly?

[@user-bm5kb4cx3l]

Since there is no gravity, it's a stupid question as to which is heavier than the feather or the bowling ball

[@outlawstargodstarwin9152]

Very foggy is code word to stop the dame machine! 😂

[@ShipsKat]

"Dame Machine"? Well, the ladies do love him. 😂😂😂

[@dwseriesanalysis]

[@TJDrumsRHCP]

[@Sethemiah]

This must be where steven tyler got his look.

[@JayBlue9]

Two reasons: they train their bodies and minds for years to be able to put up with it, and they only have to put up with exceptionally high G forces for a few seconds at a time.

[@thehound9470]

probably get very bad nausea as a result of the spinning too

are raindrops flat then? na

[@tommyedwards3598]

2g is the max we can withstand. 3 or 5 kills, 9 is overkill (if it is being constant) 30 g would CRUSH us!

[@MrMonkeyDeamond]

in the video he goes up to 5g. you are mistaken it takes about 25g to kill a human.

[@girv98]

Humans have been known to survive up to 100g (over a VERY short time period).

[@MrMonkeyDeamond]

100g's is normally pulled in a high speed crash such as a race car crush.

[@isaiahphillip4112]

Humans have been known to survive 100's of G's. Albeit rarely.

[@girv98]

valentass88 David Purley crashed in 1977, his car going from 107 mph to 0 in only 66 cm. He survived a deceleration of 178g. In 2003, Kenny Bräck's car locked wheels with another and flew into the catch fencing, braking apart. This is the highest recorded g-force at 214 g.
