It does take IQ to sell a lie. Brian knows evolution is a lie since 2000. So IQ is used to sell a ludicrous Lie. Think, how can you get a world of death, but someone tells you all life started in a pond of life, nest to a volcano. Ask Brian about complex genes, in his pond of rocks, that turn into every creature, "math impossible" he knows this. Fossil evidence proves creation in two layers, as does 15,000 new species that turn up every year. That's why the birds don't worry. Watch John safran vs god at the end you will see a true professor and the smartest guy in his uni. Maybe he does not want you to find out his work is wrong, so sends you off on the wide path believing a lie. God Bless.

+David Nash exactly, its totally acceptable to bully skeptics , I mean so scientific and polite, with a great attitude, such a great scientist not packaged and marketed to the masses at all.

In that simple statement is the key to science''. Though I'm an archaeologist by education so physics isn't my field!
@Brother Jake's Konservative Evolution That is an ignorant and false statement. Knowlege and religion are not mutually exclusive. I'm not religious, but there are plenty of knowledgeable people throughout history, including scientists and scholars, who have expressed religious beliefs. I don't think the religious views of Newton inhibited his pursuit for knowledge, considering the significance of his work.
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
This man is an incredibly powerful educator. I started watching this video assuming he was going to be answering the questions of college students. Was surprised to finally figure out that this was a segment aimed at answering the questions offered from Australian primary school (that's grade school/middle school in the US). But this charmingly enthusiastic gentleman at no point dumbs himself down, he knows what to offer eager young minds; the sophisticated and unadulterated answers that these young inquisitive minds deserve. He is well aware of the important potential of the next generation. His incredible humour and enthusiasm are inspiring and encouraging.
Have to agree with you Tarney. He has made science not only acceptable but interesting where you didn't think it interesting, fun when you didn't think it could be fun and with his enthusiasm and turn of phrase not just something you have to do to get your grades but something you want to do because it's a challenge and enlightening. All power to him, he's inspirational.
The internet is probably the greatest invention in my lifetime. Here I am in the middle of nowhere listening to an expert answering children's question from another continent. And I can see it whenever I want. I learned so much from this video. thanks to everyone that made it happen.
It's the greatest invention of humanity, not just your lifetime. How else could you learn about particle physics through an amazing educator while sitting on a comfy chair in you house?
I'm always elated but equally exhausted by Dr Cox. He befuddles my brain but I love how he explains things. Unfortunately there are so many facets, and they change constantly.
What I love about Brian is how encouraging he is to the students. How he says that it might be they who discover the answers, that an Australian like them got the Nobel prize for discovering things. That's a wonderful way to put that spark of possibility into a young mind.

And the way he presentd such complex information/details and delivers it in a way that I can understand and I'm a nurse not a particle physicists. And the smile while he is talking is captivating. It shows his passion and enjoyment he gets teaching people, encouraging younger minds to engage in their own learning and passing on the knowledge.
shane womeldorff i brought that up just a few days ago with a friend, cus of the guy who moves fast in the latest xmen movie, i thought "he surely cant see faster than the speed of light tho so can he see wth hes doing?" but i dismissed it as a nerdy thought at 3am lol, rather than science but i suppose everything is science.
Auron710 well you were right! nothing can move faster light light its just not possible as light has no mass, the lighter in weight something is the faster it is just like a car, however if you were to be moving faster than light you wouldnt see anything it would just be black cause you would always be moving away from light
Brian Cox is awesome. He explains the most complicated part of Science in the most approachable way. I have to admit. All this talk of the universe, what's in it, how we came to be, how the universe was born makes my tiny little brain ache. But boy it is so very fascinating.
Yeah I agree. I was fortunate enough to see him in Adelaide in 2022 as part of his Horizons - a 21st century odyssey tour and it was amazing. Look forward to him coming back again.
I was astounded by the depth of some of these questions, even from grade school students. I had a similar interest in this subject-matter when I was 8 or 9 years old. But 30 years ago, kids weren't nearly encouraged to learn beyond their grade level. I'm happy for educators like Brian that recognize how gifted children can be, and are willing to tap into their full potential!
One of the best things he teaches is intellectual humility. Where science isn't yet sure (or as sure as can be) about something, he's always careful to say "We don't know". People who have an anti-science agenda like to say "Scientists think they have all the answers", but Cox and his colleagues are proof positive that that is not the case.
I love this guy. Extremely smart. I've attended one of his lectures and I went home completely satisfied. No boring parts at all. That's a big thing. He's got everything. I'm blown away.
Brian Cox is one of the best, if not THE best, science communicators around. He explained in another video that he fell into his status as a science communicator by chance. I’m certainly glad he did. He has an amazing personality and projects a sense of happiness and inspiration whenever he speaks. I would enjoy the chance to meet him someday.
Listening to Brian Cox makes my heart happy. Not sure if that's weird or something but the way he talks about space and physics makes me feel like a kid again. He's so great man.
We need more scientists like Doctor and Professor Brian Cox who take time from their work to try to inspire young people to follow in their steps. And to inspire more teachers to teach science. The fact that he is also a musician can help to appeal to young people who imagine that all academics are .... you know what.
Thank you Brian Cox and Australia's Science Channel - I've always had a vague curiosity about the universe we find ourselves in, but now it has a bit more focus, there are now terms I can look up, and theories I can read about. I'm too old to twist my brain to proper scientific thinking, butI can certainly implement the discoveries of a 100+ years of it. The future is looking a lot better than I had previously thought. Much love.
In the past he has stated that his hero was Carl Sagan. You can see so much of Carl in Brian. His enthusiasm, knowledge and his skills to explain would make Carl very proud.
He is enthusiastic, all right, but many of his explanations are lacking. The speed of light question, for instance, has two good answers: the first one is experimental. We have never observed any speed that is greater than the speed of light. Until such an observation happens we have to refrain from assuming that it's possible and all our theories have to contain an absolute speed limit. The second one is theoretical: if the universe is metric (and we have never seen it not to be) and if all physics is relative, then there are only two possible solutions to how coordinate systems relate to each other. One of them is Galilean, the other one Lorentzian. The Galilean framework does not support matter, while the Lorentzian one predicts the very matter that we observe. So, if we want to have a non-empty universe, then we have to accept an upper speed limit.
Brian says he's getting to old for this. I am 58 and he has me thinking about getting into this! For some reason I can pay total attention to everything he says. Others can say the same things he does and I would get bored.
Great. First time I was fortunate to hear and see this man was in a few BBC videos on PBS. He is a fascinating teacher. He has an Audio book with Andrew Cohen on UA-cam called Human Universe` which is also fascinating. I like it that he hasn't lost his Lancashire Accent.
I just love how encouraging he is for these kids to embark on science and to educate themselves on space! You can just see that he's like "pleassseee do it! Give a shit! This matters SO much!" Just incredible. I love this.
What I find amazing about him, is that he ALWAYS answers peoples questions. If you start binging his vids here on YT, you will hear him asked 20 times in 30 vids, by people that can bare pronounce the words, 'Is there alien life out there?' and he always takes the time to explain, again and again and again and again, the best answer available. So patient, and such an honestly brutal waste of time in my personal opinion. But he knows that it is important to the person asking, so he takes the time.
I love how he explained everything beautifully that no humans actually knows the answer. “We don’t know” because there’s no one clever enough to understand the infinite number of universe. It is far beyond our numbers and theories. So we don’t know. 😊
mgammeren Once upon a time there was this universe in a hot dense state, in a fraction of a second all the elements were made, the earth cooled, dinosaurs met their fate, the bipeds stood up straight, man made up a god, and that was a great mistake, we are all made of stardust, stars die so we can live, when I die, look into the sky, I will shine down on you as a star, always looking at where you are. The End.
What this man says is we know nothing about the Universe. His answers are the best guesses currently available. In terms of Universe one thing we must comprehend is this” there could be no beginning and there could be no end”. This is more certain than Einstein’s theory of speed of light. Science should look for something that might go faster than speed of light but it is damn stupid to look for or think about even philosophically beginning or end of the Universe.
I like how this guy talks. Staying humble and basically saying 'idk lol you go and find out'. It sounds rude but it's promoting curiosity and goes against blind belief. I don't know him as a person, for all we know he might be a serial killer or something, but at least his way of teaching/explaining is respectful.
There's no better ambassador for science than Brian Cox. You can see his child like energy when answering these questions, he genuinely LOVES what he does and is speaking about. Plus he's always giving others credit when speaking about their work. You have to really love science when you decide you'd rather do that than be a rockstar 😂.
Beautiful language. Beautiful use of words to respond to such abstract concepts. A wonderful, honest, candid and personable response to some very purposeful questions. Thank you for helping to provide some enormous inspiration to the next generation of younger minds who are interested in wishing to unravel the mysteries of our existence. This is the best ELI5 outside of Reddit. (P.S.: Dont visit UA-cam for the comments...)
Just think about this. 10 years ago we would have to pay to see a professor this brilliant answering this questions. God bless the minds of those who get us closer to know things, the internet let us do this and I’m grateful to be alive in the time I am.
Noah Kjellsson possibly but using maths simply we can understand that it can accelerate to an infinite point E.g. you can have 1.998, 2 being the speed of light for example, but 1.999 is faster, then 1.9991 is faster than 1.999 so therefore it can continue to expand and accelerate but never reach the speed of light
I have no idea about physics. I come from the next town to Brian. How come he got such A great education! I am hopeless at physics and maths. Just don’t know where to start.☹️
Great insights into Science ..the Beauty, Grandeur and Wonder of Learning, understanding our Universe from the Great Professor Mr Brian ..Thank you Sir
For people who ask why he’s so happy all the time It’s because he has a better understanding of his place and the place of humans in the universe Better then we will ever understand I wish I was him lol
I can't help but notice EVERYTIME that lady asks Brian a question she makes a face as if to suggest "I would like to see you answer this one you bugger"
I’ve quite happy! And this show me how much knowledge is out there. I’ve known I once studied astronomy, but jumped to music. But I’m after studying this topic online able to answer all these questions. And all of the new hypothesis. If you can’t falsified a hypothesis then it is not science! At best a philosophical question or plain nonsense!! We need to stick to the scientific method. Test, measure, observation and predictions!
So if time is just the progression of low entropy to high entropy, and light has no mass, therefore it can't be effected by entropy, therefore it is not subjective to time, and that's why light can do whatever it wants and that's why there is light speed? Correct?
AMAZING! Saw you on Seth Rogen, my yearning to know more is incredible! Study cosmology at 70? I know you would smile and say please. You are the Mr Rogers of physics for people like me! Thank you for being you
6.40 to 6.45, the look on the presenter face is totally blank, she has absolutely no idea what Professor Cox is on about, and all she say's is ''great'' it's funny as fuck!!
All of our faces should be blank because it’s obvious everything he is saying is total nonsense. It’s all elaborate stories with self-contradictions up the yen-yang. They can’t even tell us how they figured out all this nonsense. Really? You saw a ‘black hole’ created by a dying sun? LOL Give me a f--king break.
RELATIVE MOTION : If you have two clocks moving relative to each other, it is arbitrary which clock you treat as at rest. So how does one of the clocks know to run slower than the other?
If the speed of light cannot be surpassed and nothing can travel back in time, explain the actions of sub atomic particles collapsing from super positions regardless of when observed (see the double slit experiment.) Also, how can two quantumly entangled particles separated by a great distance communicate faster than the speed of light? I'm starting to doubt that the speed of light is the speed limit of the universe. Quantum mechanics just might show us that we experience time much differently than elementary particles, which can bypass light speed and slip through blips of time at their leisure. Possibly through extra dimensions?
Also I'm pretty sure he says it may be surpassed but it means you will travel into the future, not the past. Although we are always travelling into the future. Watch the video before making comments trying to sound clever 😉
Excellent answers Brian Cox but can you make sure your next video is louder as I am sure you aware. You have an expressive voice perhaps theatrical that has a wide dynamic range. Please consider this to make your videos louder therefore better. And please make sure you DO NOT have an interviewer that squawks in hi pitches like a grade school student! FACT! Your expressive voice perfectly matches the drama and knowledge of your subject of Astronomy. Thank you Professor Cox! Eric
When science perfects cloning lets clone us many Brian Coxes, what a wonderful privilege it would be to be in his class room, he makes you want to learn everything about the universe, and how quantum physics works, what a fabulous scientific mind!
Ok Brian, I have a question: How do you explain that a collection of atoms have arranged themselves in such a manner that has lead to the most complicated bio mechanical machine (known to us) in the universe, the human brain. What I really want to know is what is "consciousness", and how did it come to be?
'Science is far too important not to be part of popular culture." Thank you Brian.
boah wie stumpf :D
Yes, but true science, not ALL those LIES
He’s pretty good about saying things like; “in theory”, “in my view”, etc. Do you know the absolute truth?

Watch John safran vs god at the end you will see a true professor and the smartest guy in his uni.

Imagine if every school in the world had a physics teacher as kind, dedicated, talented and humorous as prof. Brian Cox is!
or a teacher of every subject as good as he is...world would be a much better place
I always liked Bryan Cox he has the right attitude of a scientist he is humble, intelligent, inquisitive and encouraging
@Just think Proof? and how?
I think that I could listen to Prof. Brian Cox until he ran out of information to pass on. A legend of our time on earth.
I could watch him endlessly
He's amazing with an encyclopedic knowledge which he's able to impart beautifully to us laymen. And She...can read a question.
Bob Houghton HAHAHA
In the past he has stated that his hero was Carl Sagan. You can see so much of Carl in Brian. His enthusiasm, knowledge and his skills to explain would make Carl very proud.
He is enthusiastic, all right, but many of his explanations are lacking. The speed of light question, for instance, has two good answers: the first one is experimental. We have never observed any speed that is greater than the speed of light. Until such an observation happens we have to refrain from assuming that it's possible and all our theories have to contain an absolute speed limit. The second one is theoretical: if the universe is metric (and we have never seen it not to be) and if all physics is relative, then there are only two possible solutions to how coordinate systems relate to each other. One of them is Galilean, the other one Lorentzian. The Galilean framework does not support matter, while the Lorentzian one predicts the very matter that we observe. So, if we want to have a non-empty universe, then we have to accept an upper speed limit.
I'm an adult: I enjoyed this.

Interveiws like this one will the start of somones interest in sciences..love brian cox, very smart, says it how it is. He makes it exciting
Brian says he's getting to old for this. I am 58 and he has me thinking about getting into this! For some reason I can pay total attention to everything he says. Others can say the same things he does and I would get bored.
Well, you're 64 now, did you get into it more and how is it going?
I love that Brian Cox is so passionate about inspiring young people to pursue a career in science.
Great. First time I was fortunate to hear and see this man was in a few BBC videos on PBS. He is a fascinating teacher. He has an Audio book with Andrew Cohen on UA-cam called Human Universe` which is also fascinating. I like it that he hasn't lost his Lancashire Accent.
I just love how encouraging he is for these kids to embark on science and to educate themselves on space! You can just see that he's like "pleassseee do it! Give a shit! This matters SO much!" Just incredible. I love this.
What I find amazing about him, is that he ALWAYS answers peoples questions. If you start binging his vids here on YT, you will hear him asked 20 times in 30 vids, by people that can bare pronounce the words, 'Is there alien life out there?' and he always takes the time to explain, again and again and again and again, the best answer available. So patient, and such an honestly brutal waste of time in my personal opinion. But he knows that it is important to the person asking, so he takes the time.
Amazing teacher
This guy is so amazing. He fascinates me every time I listen to him. He explains this in a way that non-scientists like myself can understand.
I love how he explained everything beautifully that no humans actually knows the answer. “We don’t know” because there’s no one clever enough to understand the infinite number of universe. It is far beyond our numbers and theories. So we don’t know. 😊

i want him to read me a bedtime story..... i love people with voices like his haha

Yes, he still should do a CBBC bedtime story. I know 3 years since you posted this.

Once upon a time there was this universe in a hot dense state, in a fraction of a second all the elements were made, the earth cooled, dinosaurs met their fate, the bipeds stood up straight, man made up a god, and that was a great mistake, we are all made of stardust, stars die so we can live, when I die, look into the sky, I will shine down on you as a star, always looking at where you are.
The End.

Does a blackhole have more mass then the star it was once it was formed? Or it only gets more massive as objects fall into it?
Imagine if this was as popular as geordie shore or love island, we would be space fairing civilisation by now.
The timeless Professor Brian Cox. Long may he enlighten us with his scientific wisdom.
He is highly intelligent and gorgeous. Xxx professor Brian Cox xxx

Sure but the Botox and lift job is a bit disturbing!
I love him huge crush
Professor Cox is such a knowledgeable, humble and soft spoken person .
What this man says is we know nothing about the Universe. His answers are the best guesses currently available. In terms of Universe one thing we must comprehend is this” there could be no beginning and there could be no end”. This is more certain than Einstein’s theory of speed of light. Science should look for something that might go faster than speed of light but it is damn stupid to look for or think about even philosophically beginning or end of the Universe.
Why the anger?
@oldpossum57 What anger?
Brian is an awesome teacher
He make learning fun and exciting
I wager his name will be remembered in generations to come !
Wonder if his shirt has anything to do with Close Encounters?
To think that some people find this sort of stuff to be boring... It's fascinated me since I was young.
Brian is a fuckin legend, it makes me want to finish my science degree
I like how this guy talks. Staying humble and basically saying 'idk lol you go and find out'. It sounds rude but it's promoting curiosity and goes against blind belief. I don't know him as a person, for all we know he might be a serial killer or something, but at least his way of teaching/explaining is respectful.
He's genius, loved him loved him soooo much 🙇😻
There's no better ambassador for science than Brian Cox. You can see his child like energy when answering these questions, he genuinely LOVES what he does and is speaking about. Plus he's always giving others credit when speaking about their work. You have to really love science when you decide you'd rather do that than be a rockstar 😂.
Thank you very much for this awesome video !
I love Brian. His joy in all things science is intoxicating
Higgs here representing! Anybody want to interact with me? Or are y'all massless?
@Syzygy132134 lol that is a brilliant comment!! :)
Just an incredible, amazing mind, our future really does depend on him and his fellow work mates....
Beautiful language. Beautiful use of words to respond to such abstract concepts. A wonderful, honest, candid and personable response to some very purposeful questions.
Thank you for helping to provide some enormous inspiration to the next generation of younger minds who are interested in wishing to unravel the mysteries of our existence.
This is the best ELI5 outside of Reddit.
(P.S.: Dont visit UA-cam for the comments...)
Just think about this. 10 years ago we would have to pay to see a professor this brilliant answering this questions. God bless the minds of those who get us closer to know things, the internet let us do this and I’m grateful to be alive in the time I am.
come to think of it. we live in the golden age of science
if the universe i acselirating. wont we reach the speed of light and everything will play back in reverce or everything will go black
Noah Kjellsson possibly but using maths simply we can understand that it can accelerate to an infinite point
E.g. you can have 1.998, 2 being the speed of light for example, but 1.999 is faster, then 1.9991 is faster than 1.999 so therefore it can continue to expand and accelerate but never reach the speed of light
plus space-time expansion
Adam McVeigh I wonder what, if any, effect the eventual heat death would have on expansion.
Do you believe captured alien technology has pushed forward are science.
I have no idea about physics. I come from the next town to Brian. How come he got such A great education! I am hopeless at physics and maths. Just don’t know where to start.☹️
"You have to be a speical sort of person" HAHAHAHA Im dying!!
Great insights into Science ..the Beauty, Grandeur and Wonder of Learning, understanding our Universe from the Great Professor Mr Brian ..Thank you Sir
For people who ask why he’s so happy all the time
It’s because he has a better understanding of his place and the place of humans in the universe
Better then we will ever understand
I wish I was him lol
I love his voice, the way he speaks as well as what he says.
Such a polite soul. I adore him.
This guys enthusiasm just makes me want to listen
I can't help but notice EVERYTIME that lady asks Brian a question she makes a face as if to suggest "I would like to see you answer this one you bugger"
just me what lies would they be?

LMFAO
Or she giving the eye like.. I like you haha
@𝚄.𝚂. 𝙶𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝟿/𝟷𝟷 wtf😂. Whether this is a joke or not you have just made my day because you have a more laughable theory than most.
I’ve quite happy! And this show me how much knowledge is out there. I’ve known I once studied astronomy, but jumped to music. But I’m after studying this topic online able to answer all these questions. And all of the new hypothesis. If you can’t falsified a hypothesis then it is not science! At best a philosophical question or plain nonsense!! We need to stick to the scientific method. Test, measure, observation and predictions!
You gotta admire this guy!!!
So if time is just the progression of low entropy to high entropy, and light has no mass, therefore it can't be effected by entropy, therefore it is not subjective to time, and that's why light can do whatever it wants and that's why there is light speed? Correct?
The kids that asked these sort of questions are incredible ... gives me hope that the world might still be alright.
Could be all stage and he’s only answering his own made up questions.
@@laqueenawilliams4762
Ha ha … let’s be more optimistic.
AMAZING! Saw you on Seth Rogen, my yearning to know more is incredible! Study cosmology at 70? I know you would smile and say please. You are the Mr Rogers of physics for people like me! Thank you for being you
6.40 to 6.45, the look on the presenter face is totally blank, she has absolutely no idea what Professor Cox is on about, and all she say's is ''great'' it's funny as fuck!!
made me laugh so hard lmao 😂😂😂
"Great..." hahahahaha
Paul Marshall I laughed so hard haha
All of our faces should be blank because it’s obvious everything he is saying is total nonsense. It’s all elaborate stories with self-contradictions up the yen-yang. They can’t even tell us how they figured out all this nonsense. Really? You saw a ‘black hole’ created by a dying sun? LOL Give me a f--king break.
Nine Eleven - you're a farking idiot
Hi there Brian Cox your explanations were very good and easy to follow, very good!!!!
Close encounters T-shirt :) nice
+Jakub Kotyza I was wondering if that is what it was. Pretty sweet
RELATIVE MOTION : If you have two clocks moving relative to each other, it is arbitrary which clock you treat as at rest. So how does one of the clocks know to run slower than the other?
Is it just me or he does look like a happy John Wick 😂
It just you
That "don't be nervous " at the end was so gentle. lovely Russel
If the speed of light cannot be surpassed and nothing can travel back in time, explain the actions of sub atomic particles collapsing from super positions regardless of when observed (see the double slit experiment.) Also, how can two quantumly entangled particles separated by a great distance communicate faster than the speed of light? I'm starting to doubt that the speed of light is the speed limit of the universe. Quantum mechanics just might show us that we experience time much differently than elementary particles, which can bypass light speed and slip through blips of time at their leisure. Possibly through extra dimensions?
Also I'm pretty sure he says it may be surpassed but it means you will travel into the future, not the past. Although we are always travelling into the future.
Watch the video before making comments trying to sound clever 😉
Excellent answers Brian Cox but can you make sure your next video is louder as I am sure you aware. You have an expressive voice perhaps theatrical that has a wide dynamic range. Please consider this to make your videos louder therefore better. And please make sure you DO NOT have an interviewer that squawks in hi pitches like a grade school student! FACT! Your expressive voice perfectly matches the drama and knowledge of your subject of Astronomy. Thank you Professor Cox! Eric
Professor Brian Cox...man of my dreams 😍
The host is professional and very polite
When science perfects cloning lets clone us many Brian Coxes, what a wonderful privilege it would be to be in his class room, he makes you want to learn everything about the universe, and how quantum physics works, what a fabulous scientific mind!
Ok Brian, I have a question:
How do you explain that a collection of atoms have arranged themselves in such a manner that has lead to the most complicated bio mechanical machine (known to us) in the universe, the human brain. What I really want to know is what is "consciousness", and how did it come to be?
