    It is his ability to reply to any question without ever talking down to people and helping raise up the enthusiasm for the kids. Can you imagine if all Physics teachers were like him? We'd have resolved many of the worlds problems e.g. energy crisis, grand unified theory of everything and so so so much more.

    As always, Professor Brian Cox continues to make science totally accessible to the public, from school children through to Adults with any level of knowledge. For me it's his enthusiasm about science in general that is so captivating and ensures that you really want to listen to whatever he is saying when he talks.

    As people here might have already experienced, listening to Brian Cox talk and explain things is a great pleasure, he’s so brilliant at explaining things and giving so much inspiration.
    I just bought his book called “Why does E=mc^2?” And oh my god, it’s so good. Reading him is just as good, might even be better. I definitely recommend that book to anyone interested in relativity, it’s amazing...

      Refraction splits white light into discrete colours, as in a prism. And some sources of refraction vary with time, which is what causes twinkling. so the zones of colour might sometimes sweep past given observation positions like the beams of a lighthouse?

    • @christophersorensen9580
      @christophersorensen9580 5 років тому +2

      Well that's what he was saying, since it is so unimaginable dense, the way that it warps space-time itself makes it so that, what we see as the circumference from our position may be skewed because of the warps of space time, the way light bends around it, ect. So we measure the circumference as X, but in reality the space-time that is warped on the inside of the blackhole could be Y. We simply don't know.

Two of these people have doctorates in the sciences. I said to them " I hope you can get your money back on those degrees that you spent a fortune on!" Then I collected my winnings.

    The observable universe is approx. 13.8 billion years in every direction? That would point toward the universe being much larger than we can see and 13.8 years isn't the 'birth' of everything, but perhaps maybe just the beginning of us.

    but why does light bend around the curved space if it has no mass?

    • @scottmacdonald3661
      @scottmacdonald3661 6 років тому +1

      A really super simplistic explanation would be (and please note I could be completely out to lunch on this) is that light travels in a straight line through space. Now imagine a rubber sheet as a representation of the space/time continuum (but we can sort of ignore the time aspect for this explanation). If you were to draw a straight line on the rubber sheet, that would represent the path of light. If you now place a mass (lets say a bowling ball) on the rubber sheet near the line we've drawn, the mass distorts the shape of the rubber sheet as well as the line we've drawn. The line is straight but the surface is curved. The larger the mass, the larger the distortion to a point where light "spirals" in but can't curve back out as it keeps going infinitely deeper and deeper. I'm sure there is stuff wrong with this explanation, but it's kind of the idea.

    • @Braykan101
      @Braykan101 6 років тому

      Scott MacDonald well, again, you are just describing how light bends, but not why and what causes it, which is what i want to know...

    • @scottmacdonald3661
      @scottmacdonald3661 6 років тому +1

      Short answer? Gravity. Gravity distorts the fabric of space.

    • @ripley2075
      @ripley2075 6 років тому +1

      so you're saying that light itself does not move towards the black hole but the very space itself that the light is occupying is? So the gravity of the black hole bends and warps space so much that light does not change direction but rather the direction changes itself?
