It was not Einstein who introduced the concept of space-time. Herman Minkovski invented space-time in 1908 in response to Einstein's special relativity theory in 1905. It was Minkovski who also introduced the concept of light cones which are 2 dimensions of space plus one dimension of time In fact Einstein was opposed to Minkovski's proposal initially

No, being spoken to like a child and remaining like one is not a gift.

[@DeppsProtege]

​@@Justa_Bloke absolutely agree with that sentiment. I didn't get that from this video, though.

[@bigfoottoo2841]

I was relieving myself in the backyard a few years ago when a small UFO landed. Two creatures got out and asked me where they could find an example of the most intelligent creature on the planet. I told them I was one. They looked at each other in a puzzled way, jumped back in their craft, and disappeared back into space.

[@Justa_Bloke]

They said creature not species. So you lied to them.

We are so fortunate to listen to Brian Cox's soothing voice and helping us understand the great mysteries of the universe

[@korneliafrost3541]

Please do a pt. 2 of this. Absolutely love this vid!

[@itzstynx4688]

Did Brian essentially just tell us that quantum entanglement is the ‘DNA’ or genetic code of the universe? 1:38

[@52HzWhaleMusic]

No he didn't

[@achmedlolol]

What's your star sign xD

[@Justa_Bloke]

He's brainwashed into disregarding astrology by modern academic science, despite the fact that it has always been linked to astronomy. Does Cox also think precession is a worthless celestial cycle????

[@JpoouJpoou67]

​@@Justa_Bloke hop on the schizo meds bud

[@MrWilde-zx7vm]

@@Justa_Blokebuddy astrology has nothing to do with modern science and astronomy besides the name of constellations nothing more. You saying he’s brainwashed displays your nonsense about science and lack of understanding it. Move on, take the L.

The non arrogant, classy version of Neil Degrasse Tyson

[@Justa_Bloke]

Cox is so arrogant, Jesus. He oozes arrogance.

[@kieranduffy3434]

@@Justa_Bloke I think you are confusing confidence with arrogance. Brian Cox is a class act and is ALWAYS incredibly respectful and knowledgeable on what he talks about.

[@MarquisSmith]

Can't see Neil recommending Joy Division.

[@mikeybeets3093]

The absolute nuts on you to suggest that Tyson is arrogant and not classy is wild when he spends most of his time explaining unimaginably difficult concepts to clueless people.

[@nightxnight]

They’re both classy and brilliant. Saying this as someone with a degree in physics. They both made me want to learn.

[@fladmus]

I've heard 90% of these explanations from Brian before easily but I'll keep listening :)

[@Renvaar1989]

Half an hour of just Brian Cox talking? YES PLEASE!

How ignorant, mind-blowing assumptions. 2024

“What’s your star sign? Oh I have no f*cking idea…” Man I love Brian. No patience for bullsh*t. 😂

[@Iazzaboyce]

I like listening to Professor Brian because he knows everything and I believe he's correct on all things. Now can I get lots of thumbs up to make me appear (and feel) super intelligent?

[@woohoo2you966]

Mr / Dr / Prof Brian Cox is such a beast with his quick witted (while still well thought-out) replies...love it.
