Professor Brian Cox: Space, Aliens and Blackholes

EPISODE #2 - Space is an immeasurable void of discovery. Fascinating, incomprehensible, and in so many ways; really, really cool.
Never before have humans been so active in it. In this podcast, we will explore with Professor Brian Cox - a master explainer on physics and space - some of the big questions lurking in the corners of our Galaxy.
What are the chances we’ll find life out there?
Would the earth flourish without human activity?
And where can we expect our space capabilities to be in the near future?
Professor Brian Cox is often called the poster boy of Particle Physics. He’s a Professor at Manchester University but is best known for his down-to-earth explanations of very complex questions about the universe.
He’s taught us physics in documentaries, TV shows, and many children’s programmes, making science accessible to millions. He has been working on the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider for many years. The project discovered the Higgs Boson, or The God Particle, in 2012.
Later this year, Brian will return to his arena tours with Horizons: a 2021 Space Odyssey, a cinematic journey through the story of how we came to be using state-of-the-art LED technology.

I just don't like him because of how much he flip flops on politics and won't speak out enough about the left. Probably because he is leftest. But an interviewer should be much more neutral with that stuff and just tell the truth.

Shame about some of the comments here about the hosts. The entire point of Brian’s role as a public communicator of science is exactly what we see in this excellent podcast episode. It’s reaching out to people of all levels of understanding, and this video more than any I’ve found so far is the best example of that. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing something, or not even knowing enough to know what even to ask. These are exactly the people we need to be reaching out to and welcoming with a friendly attitude. From an interaction like this people that previously had no interest or knowledge in the subject might have a seed planted that grows into something more. Within the hosts or the audience listening. It might happen quickly or it might sit there for years before sprouting. Science and the understanding of it should be for everyone. Not just people that have already bought the books or know the basics and are fanboying over the author. This was a friendly conversation. Everyone involved was polite and having fun. Brian had all the time and patience in the world and clearly had fun, too. This podcast interview is precisely why he’s the Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science. We need more like it, just as we need more silly interviews with talkshow hosts, and more serious casual lectures with an audience of fans. We need it all. Thanks to both hosts who were fun and friendly, and asked some good questions many people would have asked in their position. Thanks for getting Brian on. And thanks also to Brian for being an excellent public communicator and giving everyone time, regardless of where they’re coming from. And doing it with a smile and while having fun, too. This episode will have got many listeners thinking, or even going on to proactive learn about amazing things they might otherwise not have, had it not been organised and published here.

[@jygantykp0w3r11]

The conversation on "the unknown" was brilliant. I personally am not scared or fearful of the unknown. It confuses me as to why people fear the unknown as unknown is complete lack of information of observation, reported experience, assumptions and plausibility/ possibility and immagination. Fear of unknown is an individuals inability to seperate the ego driven self imposed acceptance of ones meaning / uniqueness to a complete external acceptance that ones life in the physical world / universe is so small due to the enormous immensities of the unknown universe that an individuals ability to accept their life without knowing or understanding certain aspects goes completely against the cultural, philosophical or spiritual meaning ones ego places on oneself as a safety net to the thought of their own demise. You are you no matter what specifications you impose on yourself to justify your existence. You are you no matter how singular or selfish you think just to exist. Release The Ego, Extend your consciousness past linear time and free your mind and accept the empathetic universe as you are the universe and the universe is you whether alive or not.

[@avago2day]

It's such a shame that Professor Cox was interviewed on this 'show' where at least one of the interviewers had absolutely no clue what questions to ask and even less about the answers given. Professor Brian Cox is an extremely accomplished physicist who, in my humble opinion, would be better suited to a more scientific based environment of questioning.

[@PostControlla]

The purpose of science communicators is to make science interesting to a non-scientific audience. This is mostly achieved by giving talks/being questioned in non-scientific environments. Not everyone has the same level of comprehension but everyone can appreciate science to some capacity. Not all talks with Brian Cox would run smoothly because some folks are alien to the topics he covers. The guy (Jax Jones) is a DJ I believe. Imagine if all music composers made music available only for people who studied music and know how to write music and play some form of instrument? Lol that's synonymous you saying he should only be present on science shows. Trust me Brian being on this show has created new science enthusiasts from this channel's core followers.

Brian's great quality is being able to bring the biggest and most complex things in the universe to the average person but even Brian didn't stand a chance with that dude in the pink

[@adamo2125]

Agreed the pink guy is so out of place

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Love this guy!

This interview made me appreciate Joe Rogan. Even though he doesn't have scientific background he know what questions to ask and what not to apparently.

[@leeberry3708]

And that's why people say everything is moving away from everything because the universe is expanding but matter moves independently of space and expansion will not effect the matter in space it will expand around the matter in space and independent of it. So space can still expand all it wants because space doesn't have mass?

[@ieuphorius]

It does effect mass, just not more significantly than the strong and weak nuclear forces. It effects light because it doesn't have mass, and therefore doesn't have those forces keeping it from being effected. Which is why things far away appear red shifted.

[@whitenoise1119]

Space doesn’t expand inside of galaxies near as much as it does between them. Gravity essentially “pulls” space/time together, preventing the expansion inside regions strongly affected by gravity

[@sailorgeer]

I love listening to Dr Cox, his explanations are so eloquent, articulate and relatable, but I had to turn this off because 👚 guy was so inarticulate and always interrupting with some irrelevant non sequitur.

[@hennersss]

Very unprofessional. This can't be his job, surely

[@zdenkobrlica2856]

Exactly my thoughts. I switched to anoter interview after some minutes thanks to Mr. Pink

Ruined by the "common man" in the pink shirt. Why T F do all these modern science discussions need a court jester/Muppet to represent "us"? We don't need to be told what to think. Just why? Why was he there?

[@fredriksvard2603]

What a waste of everyone's time, especially Cox's

[@stephenraven5339]

He is a champion educator, and i think you would agree, he brings people from the fringes of science to at least a steadfast understanding of the subject, hes a man to admire, not to necessarily ridicule because he wore a "pink shirt". if thats all you got from this ,please wear a white etc. colour and do it better, are you looking at the petson and, perhaps, not the message?

[@joeking4206]

@@stephenraven5339 what?? I was referring to the planted "common layman" not Brian. Brian wasn't the guy wearing the pink shirt ffs. Pay attention. Yes, Brian is a great populariser and my point is that we don't need a bloke playing the "sorry bruv, I don't understand all this fizziks stuff. I don't geddit. " shit. It's ridiculous.

[@johnmarr5316]

@@joeking4206 I agree. The pink shirt guy keeps on interrupting and it really ruins the flow of this. Brian will be expounding on some complex stuff and pink short blurts in and ruins the thread of what Brian is saying. His role is idiotic and he brings nothing to this.

[@damiengriffiths8934]

This is a question that always intrigues me. So if a black hole basically eats matter and ends up an infinitely dense point that we have no physics for. And we know the Big Bang started at a infinitely dense point and that we don’t know the physics for before a certain time. This being the case surely it can’t be known whether each black hole eventually becomes so dense that it implodes/explodes to form another universe. A good analogy would be an hour glass with one side our universe as we know it, the narrow bit being the center of a black hole/Big Bang and the other side the new universe. Multiverse Our universe could have been the remnants of a black hole from another universe. Or are there physics that prove this can’t happen. Seems feasible to me as we currently have no clue about black holes and no clue about the Big Bang as it happened. Two things we no nothing about could be the same thing

[@outsidethepyramid]

no

[@andromedaiscoming185]

The matter doesnt go away though it gets radiated back into our universe called hawking radiation. Even if the matter disappeared into it though isnt there alot more matter in the universe than there was ever absorbed into any black hole?

[@HarryNicNicholas]

@@outsidethepyramid lol - there is a legit theory that we are IN a black hole.

@@andromedaiscoming185 the visible universe, or the cosmos - the entire universe? we can only see - and talk about - the bit we can see. there is even more outside the visible we have NO IDEA what it may be like.

[@ciarandevine8490]

Black holes are not a singularity as they have push pull. There’s two black holes in the centre of our Galaxy and they, like all black holes in the centre of the spiral galaxies, determine the physics of our galaxy. This means that the physics in each galaxy varies slightly.
