well thats what this is, comedy. if it gets too techical people will just give up and switch channels to other late night show. Its something i dont like, but if you want your information on serious matters, theres always informational videos and speeches and books. Its something they have to do to make it entertaining.

[@Sandesh98147]

@Great White It is. I totally agree with you. but to reach larger audience and get them intrigued. Which isvery important as well. even in todays age where science has gone to the levels which were unseen even 50 years ago, a lot of people are still unaware of it. even you and me arent aware enough of the wide spectrum that science has reached. Only awareness can make us intrigued in this. I got into reading science by a biography of Richard Feynman which has nothing to do with science. We need mainstream people like conan do these kind of interviews so that impressionable people can get intrigued and go search for it.

[@Sandesh98147]

@Great White I said it before on some other thread, but ill repeat here, Its a show, unlike a maths class, so they have to be engaging and funny with audience. If it gets too technical and people get bored, theyll just switch channels to other late night show. Thats why it needs to be done. When an actor comes to the show, they dont talk about the nuances and technicalities in acting, and that goes fine. Its similar thing. late night shows arent a platform to spread knowledge, theyre targeted towards light entertainment. For the people who seek knowledge, theres ted talks to get them interested in a topic, theres other documentaries and educational programmes, theres books and podcasts for the cause. Late nights show air for a very different purpose, thats why you saw what u did. Its not very enlightening for anybody trust me, but it does trigger people who are genuinely curious like u seem to be to go dig for real knowledge.

[@Progbassist]

@@Sandesh98147 I get that its a comedy show and there must the right balance of comedy and more serious talk. But wouldnt it be the same then if they invite an actor who plays a scientist, I dont think this kind of audience would really mind it. That being said, I prefer Colbert when it comes to interviewing scientists and professors.

[@SemanticV0id]

Descartes Rene I think Conan did a decent job of letting the science through while maintaining the comedy. Unfortunately the audience is not here for a science lecture. Too much intelligence and they might lose focus.

[@iamtherealrenedescartes]

Alex Johnson Maintaining the comedy? We have very different tastes in comedy then because not once did I find him funny. And I didn't feel awkward for Brain Cox because of how dumb Conan was - it was awkward because of the unfunny statements and retarded sounds he was making - he just happens to be dumb also. There is nothing more awkward than a person trying to be funny but completely failing miserably - but not realising it in the process. I have met loads of people in real life who are the same - and I feel like I should slowly sidle away from them - I would do the same with Conan.

[@SemanticV0id]

Okay. I'm not saying I find him hilarious or anything, but I think he is a funny guy. I was amused by the teleporter sound, and the freeway joke for instance. I have a very broad sense of humour. I enjoy wit as well as cheap jokes.

@@beckstairs Yes really. No one is arguing that Rogan is an intellect. But, the fact is that he spent 3 hours with Brian cox asking questions that common people like me would probably ask the professor. He listened, did not interrupt, and gave earnest attempt to understand the idea he is being presented. He let Brian talk at length without interruption. Joe may have wild ideas (and CNN maligning him did not help his reputation for people who has no idea who he is), but he is really good at talking to people. Credit must be given where credit is due. Brian did two podcasts with Joe around 3 hours each. Those are actually some of the few videos you can find where Brian Cox was given the time to actually expound on his ideas and physics. here give it a try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZrIg42lf7iJqtk I promise you even if you think Joe dumb, you will enjoy Brian talk.

That's not evidence

Shut it.

[@ruksanakabir46]

Always Love Brian Cox love astronomy.. the way he explain things of astronomy make me all dreamy ... such a brilliant and also cool guy..

[@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

Brian Cox said we looked to see for alien life form in our galaxy, are you kidding me we haven't even looked an inch in terms of astronomical unit scale, maybe just little bit in our solar system and right now we are not at the technological stage capable of searching our own galaxy and there are billions of other galaxies.

[@fairfour2852]

he may be referring to things like looking at other planets that give of the kind of chemicals and carbon emissions we do, as we can to some extent observe this.. also things like radio waves.. but all he is saying that what we 'can' look at has given no evidence so far (not to say there isn't).. clearly he misspoke

[@ukeuwatch]

Not quite right. Exoplanet research allows us to search this galaxy in some ways. He didn't say we'd looked conclusively. As his mate Dara O'Brien said "science knows it doesn't know everything... otherwise it'd stop" uDYba0m6ztE

[@vamsic8616]

this video is ahead of it's time

[@robinshould3366]

First of all let me say that I would prefer to sit down and have a conversation with Professor Brian Cox as oppose to this comedianne of a talk show host and the writer of the above comment. It just goes show that people do not listen. The professor started to talk about time travel but because the host was a clown and loves the sound of his own voice the Professor did not get to explain himself on the subject matter. I'll make this brief, the statement above is utter alien. "Time Travel" and "Teleportation" are two different things. Yes, once these two projects/modes of travel have been fully experimented and certified you will understand their differences. Teleportation is like standing at one bus stop in London and then arriving at a bus stop in New York in a matter of seconds may be minutes but once fine tuned, it should really be in seconds. Just like making a phone call. Time travel is more of a dreamware anti psychosis procedure. When you time travel you will not be there physically just in mind hence you will not be able to change anything. Time travel can take you back into the past and also into the future. We all have 6 senses but only a tiny percentage of the worlds population knows how to use the later. Just LISTEN to me for a moment, the host of the show obviously only has four senses. Can you guess which sense he lacks?

[@danielj4818]

Yea I totally couldn't be bothered to read your post. Zzzzzzzzz

[@robinshould3366]

Daniel Kendall If one could not be bothered to read the post then why does one need to reply. It is obvious one is just a shadow in society and a shadow one will remain. Walked upon and jumped upon. The picture reflects the man.

[@katietownsend2163]

ROBIN SHOULD Stop trying to sound intelligent and acting as though you're above others. It's annoying and an extremely poor quality to have.

[@robinshould3366]

Katie T If I have offended you with my comments, I do apologize. Lets face it, at the end of the day some people need to be told.

[@systempatcher]

Stop putting nonsense in people's brains. You are not a scientist and you sound like an egotistical conspiracy theorist just like the rest of them.

[@johnharvey4448]

How loud and dislikable.

[@marklarson3934]

You can tell by his body language he knows much more than he was saying

[@OllieWales]

Yeah you can tell he's thinking of how to rephrase everything so mere mortals like us will understand it. If he said everything exactly as he knows it then only other physics boffins would actually know what the hell he's talking about lol.

Conan did graduate from Harvard, had his own network show at 29, and has been on the air for almost 30 years. He makes 12 million a year. So simple.

[@davidwolfe9722]

I think Conan knows he's out of his depth here - hence the shouting, silly noises and wiggling fingers. It's a hysterical attempt to stop the conversation developing into an intellectual discussion with Professor Cox in case his own vacuousness is exposed.

[@blackskulls5469]

Bang on mate

[@musakaanalpar]

He acts like that all the time, it's his style of comedy. This is a talk show, if you are looking for a more intellectual conversation go watch Professor Cox on Joe Rogan.

[@saiyaf5301]

Kaan Alpar exactly, they have a time window of 15 minutes, they can’t bog down on semantics and and the explore Cox’s work so in depth. Give Conan a break, his job is to promote Cox in a palatable way so people are interested. It’s not just for Cox’s fans to tap themselves on their backs

[@daddydeadpool9871]

Hes a Harvard graduate mate

[@BennyNegroFromQueens]

Conan scored 1500 on his SATs. He's a genius. Hes got a comedy show to do though. He doesnt have 3 hours like Joe Rogan.

why is it so rare to have an american talk show host that just have a normal conversations.. it comes across as slightly patronising in assuming your general audience cant pay attention without (badly placed) humour.. its so obnoxious sometimes .. ehh.. ok rant over lol

[@AATT-py7tn]

Hey man, don't blame us in the middle for how the folks on the coasts act. We don't get it either.

[@VestigialHead]

@@AATT-py7tn I think it is a drug thing. People on the coasts are much more likely to be doing cocaine. People in the middle of America are much more likely to be doing oxycodone which slows you down to a simple drawl. Just my theory. Hang on need to go smoke another bowl. :)

@@ezracyr4932 Ahh was this an attempt to stir up some rebuttals? Did you want people from outside the US to come and tell you how wrong you are? Ok here you go: British shows are usually more high brow and intelligent than what the US creates. So not surprised that you do not find them funny. Not going to be funny if you do not understand what they are talking about.

[@olbear303]

Fun Fact: My shitty hometown of Waxahatchie, Texas was almost was home to the worlds largest Super Collider. It was axed in 1993, but miles and miles of tunnel had already been dug. Damn shame really.

[@pierrestober3423]

Greetings from Switzerland ;)

[@surprisinglyvulgar]

olbear303 Waxahatchee is a good band.

[@andrewdeen1]

olbear303 the cancelling of funding for the superconducting supercollider isn't exactly a "fun" fact is it. That machine would have collided protons and antiprotons at highter energy levels than CERN, it would have put the United States back on the science map. The fact that America needs to be in a war to progress in fields of science is terrible. Well maybe NASA is being flushed there's always DARPA, who will probably lead to us being removed from the map.

[@olbear303]

Andrew Deen I was being ironic. I hate the fact it was cancelled.

[@andrewdeen1]

olbear303 yeah i knew you were, i didn't mean it in the form of a question, i was just agreeing with you.

0:10 "not like it really MATTERS" lulz at the one guy in the audience that spotted the unintentional pun.

[@Rampagedd]

Conon is the one american host I like. he hits the nail on the head when he was oblivious to the fact he didnt know teleportation had been done, he say we obsessed with royal weddings and that crap over teleportation and he is baffled! damn right. this is a comedy talk show. ya can't expect joe rogan..solid hour and a half in depth delve into space. it simply promotes the fact this stuff/brians show is here for us to look into further if we like what we hear.. job done =D
