It is incredible how easy this man explains such complicated mater. He does all this with a permanente smile on his face, using simple words and a humble approach. Unlike the man who introduced him, he is very humble, and just a wonderful human being.

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.

I have the same problem with the diagram of gravity. If mass bends space, it would do that in 3 dimensions, not 2. Therefore you can't diagram gravity by warping space in a 2 dimensional plane.

DJ TBOne You are completely correct. The models and diagrams that you see involving a 2d representation of gravity is just for the sake of explanation for the masses. It’s very easy to understand and relate to. Essentially what is happening in the 2d model is what’s happening in 3D space.

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.

Flight first finally happened in 1903 - but we were on the moon in 1969.

Hello Professor, The parsec is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System. One parsec is approximately equal to 31 trillion kilometres (19 trillion miles), or 210,000 astronomical units, and equates to about 3.3 light-years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsec also 100,000 million is 100 Billion (US not UK)

We're trying to find such questions out. That's the exiting bit, we don't know, and we are not afraid to admit it. If you really want to know, you become a scientist, if you just want some words (like a drug-hit to get you high for 15 minutes), you just believe whatever you want to believe (religion). Science is like a steady bettering of your quality of life, every step up brings new higher highs, religion simply offer short highs, and they only diminish in height (no new epiphanies).

I'm confused with your assessment and beliefs. Religion offers strength and happiness. Faith and love in something other than ourselves gives us hope for a better present and future for us and our children. Science is simply a search for truth, no matter where it leads us. If we have faith in GOD, we can work out how GOD does things, and can even deal more effectively with our world (that we make for ourselves) and everything in it. Ultimately, no matter what science says, the final decisions are GOD's. Faith brings hope, and without hope, who would even try ? Oh. and this is a long term, lifelong multi generational high too. As a good example, the USA is a Christian nation and allows others to believe as they want. We have the best science, music and economy. We are the softest, easiest influenced, kindest, most forgiving, nation in the world. We are also the strongest. Is that a long term or short term high ? I'm confused with your assessment and beliefs.

lazygamerz, generally I agree with you, but with qualifications. Religion is not a well studied subject of a scientific research and we don’t know much about the mechanisms which make people tick in the religious key. People are religious not because they are dumb or misinformed, but because religion gives them answers which science has no goal of answering. Denying existence of these questions is not helping progress of science. Today about 5 billion people believe in the same God of Abraham (Christians, Muslims, and Jews). Saying “they all are delirious” is not helpful...

So as light travels through space it's wave gets stretched thus altering it's frequency. I don't get why it is stretched. What makes it stretch? Why doesn't it carry on at the same rate? Please someone explain this is bugging me.

You wrote your comment 6 years ago, i dont know if you ever Got your question answered. The Reason for why the light waves are being stretched, is simple because the Universe is still expanding. So when the Universe is expanding, so Will the light that travelled from a far galaxy to reach us. Take for example a balloon, draw a line on it, then fill it with air, youll now see that the Line has expanded in lenght and how wide it is. That is the same thing that happens with the universe. NOT sure youll ever read this comment, bug if you do, and you understand it..then great:-D

Not to be 'that' guy, but about 20:00 he says roughly that the spectrum gathered and bands therein are only what elements are in a given planet's _atmosphere_ due to the electrons absorbing certain frequencies etc.; then says immediately after, the bands are what the sun is "made-of." This is one of my beefs with science's use of spectrophotometry because it is an incomplete picture, yet we say "we-know" as if it's definitive. Just nitpicking I'm sure, but I don't think that's an unreasonable qualm. We don't "know" anything; we agree "we-know" therefore it's fact. But in reality it's "we-think-we-know..."

I was going to go to one of those events last year - it was a Richard Dawkins lecture. My Chemistry teacher fought tooth and nail for 50 tickets, and everyone was really excited. But then one of our receptionists screwed the admin up and they were given to another school because we technically didn't pay for them, even though everyone had their money in a month in advance. Kinda hate you now, unknown receptionist.

Your receptionist did you favour. Richard Dawkins is a fraud peddling outdated theories. Do you really think your ancestors were monkey's and you live on a spinning ball? You need to have blind faith to believe in the things Dawkins teaches. Dawkins is a fraud because he claims that what he teaches is undisputed facts.

Is the universe expansion accelerating because objects are actually moving faster and faster or because the amount of space expanding between the observed object and ourselves is causing it to appear as though things are accelerating?
