“Nothing is easy, it requires practice and it requires attention to detail. As well, take responsibility for getting it right” - if you get anything out of this interview, that’s the best advice you can give to just about anyone. Bravo Professor Cox…that insight you’ve shared is greatly appreciated. 👏
What about when you get it wrong as Brian cox has done and put a video out about how out of touch with reality and science , not to mention the scientific method. 1. Dark matter is an hypothesis not fact, Incredulity as evidence for dark matter is not scientific.. 2. Black holes do not exist outside the minds of moron`s and christian`s, Black is not on the electro magnetic spectrum( Thier is no such thing as black light). HOLES can never have mass under current laws of nature. Show me another example of where something with our mass has the gravitational attractive force to hold over 400 billion stars in its grips. They are called Dark Stars and they where given that label over 200 years ago , But its seems and evangelical wannabe scientists and an new member of his class have more relevance because black holes allow for papers to be ludicrous and beyond science fiction. I tried to get the Australian government to ban entry for Brian Cox because of his anti science stance.
Exactly. Some people compare Brian to Neil degrasse Tyson. Sure they both teach physics but Brian wants you to know, whereas Neil wants you to know that he knows.
Brian is a gem of a human being. I love listening to him talk about science. And your questions helped lead to one of the better interviews of him that I've seen.
@@user-pq7jj3vs3eyes anyone who sees him on tv or listens to him on the radio enjoys him. He’s so passionate and talks so softly it’s easy to listen to him talk about anything
Yeah wayyy better than Roe Jogan way better, here im gaining brain cells. oh but brian isnt cool but actually he is hes really cool. Im a big brutal looking guy and im tired of staying dumb with the so called cool guys. Brian is cool and bench pressing is worthless.
"We may be the only civilisation in the Milky Way. Meaning is a property of intelligence. We have a galactic responsibility to maintain meaning. If we destroy ourselves, we eliminate meaning" - Prof. Brian Cox. It's not very often my mind is blown but my brain has melted 😳
It's similar to a thought I had during a period in my life where I suppose I was going through a bit of the clichéd "existential crisis". I was reading about Albert Camus, and reading some Carl Sagan, and it sort of hit me one day...humans are what bring meaning to an otherwise absurd universe. So, it's sort of backwards for us to look out at the universe to "find" meaning, because the meaning is actually inside us.
The idea that meaning is a property of intelligence implies that without conscious beings to contemplate or assign meaning, the universe might remain indifferent, devoid of any intrinsic significance. If we are indeed the only civilization in the Milky Way capable of reflecting on existence, then the stakes are higher. Our self-destruction would not only be the end of our species but also, potentially, the extinction of meaning itself-at least in this corner of the cosmos. However, it is worth questioning whether meaning can be reduced solely to the existence of intelligent life. Could the universe itself, in all its complexity and beauty, hold inherent meaning, independent of whether it is observed or understood by conscious beings? While our responsibility to preserve ourselves is profound, it might be more about the responsibility to advance knowledge, curiosity, and empathy, ensuring the survival of the only known means by which the universe can understand itself. In this sense, we don't just have a galactic responsibility to "maintain meaning," but to explore, evolve, and cultivate intelligence that continues to seek meaning in the universe, no matter how complex or elusive it may be.
Brian’s ability to speak plainly and actually help others understand is best I’ve heard. If someone understands a thing, they should be able to explain it simply. He always is able to explain simply.
In Britain people get called "national treasure" for too quickly...Professor Cox, like Sir Attenborough should be the golden standard. These are the people we need to drive the humanity forward...
@@yamishogun6501the climate is definitely changing, wether it's mostly human driven is not clear, we're probably not helping things but it's definitely changing, so we should listen to people with knowledge of the subject.
There are some educators that have this passion I’ve met a few, but it’s not as common. I remember when I was taking English literature and we had a section on sShakespeare I don’t know how many weeks but most of the class was ready to be bored since it was a required class and even though I very much enjoyed reading I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not, but willing to try There are those that didn’t enjoy reading or Shakespeare she got them to understand and even were enthralled by Shakespeare by acting it out a little bit and then at the end of it, we voted on our own Shakespeare banquet. She basically gave us a verbal summary also to explain it in a way we could understand easily.
What I admire about Professor Brian Cox is not just his knowledge and dedication to his fields of science and the Cosmos, and his communication skills of those subjects but, he never has a bad word for anyone. He is the Sir David Attenborough of the scientific world.
I hadn't watched original cosmos until recently and I had the same exact thought after just the first episode. Both were supremely humble men and also very positive about the science they communicate and about humanity in general.
he's a Carl Sagan with a much more intimate relation to the field. Astronomy elitists will drag Sagan through the ringer over dumbass stuff like "eratosthenes is an urban legend, and here goes Carl spouting about his experiment".... it's people like that who create a need for science communicators in the first place 😂.
This man has one of the most significant communication skills, combined with top-notch academic knowledge, magnificent passion, and great humility, making him a recipe for success in any intellectual and collaborative endeavor.
I could hang with Brian every day for a lifetime and still be blown away by what he has learned and wants to share.. Hopefully more like him arise to make learning as exciting as he does.
yet again Brian proves why hes such a gem of a human being and why he is so loved in the UK, some of us recall him playing keyboard ;) can watch Brian all day long, hes up there with Mr Attenborough in his own fields.
Thank you for all you do. I often find myself "lost". Perhaps a slight case of Imposter Syndrome. But all these discussions and the brilliant questions you guys ask make me feel like I am not alone, and on some days it quite literally gets me through the day. I don't expect to one day find myself in the boots of a legend such as Brian Cox, or any of the hugely successful people you interview on this podcast, but in humanising their lives and their stories, it keeps me going. Thank you to you, the hosts, and thank you additionally to all the brilliant people who have shared their views on this channel
Listening to Brian is like therapy to soul, brain, and mind at the same time... Absolutely loved him and his narration from the day 1 I saw him in "Into the Universe" ....and that was more than a decade ago and he still brings out the inner child in me to keep listening to him. Wonderful conversation. Loved it .
Youve to be delighted when you are shown to be wrong" sums up life and learning. Thank you for having him on the podcast and asking when thought questions
Science has always been interesting, but 99% of the time, it went over my head. Brian Cox, however, just has the ability to speak complex in semi-layman's terms. It still takes me constant replays and I still don't understand most of it, but he got me to listen to scientific discussions. Just being able to listen is such a wonderful experience. For that I say thank you.
Professor Brian Cox makes me just hang on to every single word that comes out of his mouth . He could easily be the most valuable person in the world . If he was made “ President of the World “ we’d all have an assured happy informed life” to be able to have the opportunity to sit and question him for a day on how we can make the world a safer more reassuring place to exist would be like heaven on earth . Thank you Professor Cox for suggesting my philosophy ( partly ) on how life started is an amazing reassurance even little me can hypothisise how our Universe started possibly . All to do with heat moves to cold . Neil Gurran
Brian cox is a jewel in the crown of humanity. He embodies what being human is. Curious and persistent with the humility to say, I don't know.. I spend my quiet evenings listening to this brilliant mind..
Thank you for one of the most mindful interviews I’ve ever watched. I now have so many questions but also have so many things to think about. Your questions were excellent and Brian’s responses were even more amazing.
Damn...Ive watched Brian on his episodes over the years and very much enjoyed them but to listen to him...wow, tons of great advice, funny, honest...right on.
This was the first video I have seen from you guys. I must say that I was impressed with the questions you asked and the non-drama quality attitude you displayed. I have subscribed.
I've been to a couple of his live shows. The amount of work and detail in them is outstanding. Literally mind blowing. If anyone gets the chance to go. You should definitely do that!
Thank you sir, I've learned so much from you in last year. (50 year old Canadian). Thank you , for being honest, keeping it up, n explaining n sharing with rest of us. Hugs
I love what he says about luck. I remember hearing Paul Daniels saying that luck was years of hard work and then seizing with both hands an opportunity that presents itself.
You have to find something you love doing, focus on it, practice it, work hard, and don't give up, but you won't give up because you loved it from the start. That's how success is achieved.
Understanding celestial mechanics provides a sense of stability in the vast universe. Philosophically, grasping our place in the cosmos offers a humbling perspective. Astrophysics reveals that Earth is a tiny part of a larger system, inspiring wonder while reminding us of our planet's fleeting existence. Despite our smallness, our ability to study and comprehend the universe highlights the unique role of human consciousness. Thus, finding our place in the universe involves acknowledging both the immense vastness of the cosmos and the intimate connections of Earth and humanity within it, merging scientific discovery with philosophical reflection.
The display of passion and ability to make science accessible is the most important, in my mind. It's there in Feynman, Sagan and Cox, and if anyone knows Forrest Valkai, a biologist with a UA-cam channel, he's absolutely compelling with his energy. I don't know how much knowledge actually sticks to my brain, but they provide fascinating insights and information.
Thank you so much for sharing such fascinating videos about the mysteries of the universe! I'm always in awe of the wonders that exist beyond our planet.
absolute truth. completely applicable to my mission with learning programming at the age of 50. taking the time to play with the basics in order to understand the building blocks upon which the grander structures rest

I have shared this fantastic testimony of wisdom on social networks. Fortunately, I realised just in time that I had written Brian Fox in my introduction. He is not only wise but foxy in his own authentic way. Best wishes to him and his loved ones. Feeling grateful for Brian's contribution to a bigger vision of the universe. I partially like the idea of sending Boris Johnson on a 'cosmic'l trip, but I am afraid that the outcome might not justify the involved pollution. Boris would have to pay a lot to offset the balance.
Most people never want to talk about their failures but those failures are called learning. If you really want to learn about troubleshooting and having many failures before you find success is epic!!! It's called a 3D printer!!! There are so many filaments, stability issues, ambient temperatures, infill settings, nozzle temps, bed temps, maintenance issues, bed leveling, adhesion problems and I could go on and on about this topic. Troubleshooting is learning on a rapid prototype 3D printer will expand your mind if failure is not and option. It is it's own Universe and then you start to understand the actual Universe!!! Epic!!!🌎🌍🌏
im not sure luck has anything to do with how successful Brian Cox is. I think its his basic humility and empathy for his audience that makes him sucessful.
Just what the mind, body and soul needed right now. Superb interaction, outstanding questioning and exploration from you all. Thankyou to all of you and your expansive minds.
I totally agree with Brian Cox. Everything I'm good at is because I learned hard for it and put my time and effort in it. If you think it has to come naturally, then it's nearly not possible. Maybe there are people out there who are good in something, but mostly they are good because it is something they like. I also liked what he said about when he was studying, that he did most of the work in the beginning and then it was getting better. I remember in school: I learned all the time and when the examns came I was one of the few people that were relaxed, most people just started learning in the week they needed to have the knowledge. I didn't have the highest scores, but good enough to pass....
In fields of observation, chance favors the prepared mind (Pasteur). Fields of observation include not only scientific but artistic fields, and clinical fields. (My addition). Thank you for having this interview!
Being comfortable saying you don't know how something actually works, is such a hard but super valuable thing! I absolutely love quantum physics; but I absolutely don't understand a lot of it tbh...
Great episode, got to love Brian Cox - one of the best humans alive. However, a trip into space would be lost on Boris. Maybe use him as the rocket instead.
I'm a Christian with an interest in science. I've listened to many of the so called atheist scientists like Krauss, Tyson, and many others. One thing they all seem to share is some level of being sarcastically dismissive about a subject area which they can't possibly be cognisant of. It's a credit to Brian that he never plumbs those intellectual depths. Much like his 'hero' Feinman, he's more than prepared to admit that there are places that perhaps only mysticism; meta-physics might have the answers.
He models the “I-don’t-know” humility that the religious want scientists to admit, but I see religious struggle to admit themselves. Recovering religious know-it-all over here.😅
Greatest advice anyone could receive and thanks so much for that! I am my own financial advisor and have always had a good grasp on finance, albeit I am hardheaded on ability to retain lessons, it has chalked me up from time to time to relearn to accept doubt. I know that it is part of the process. Thank you for helping me grow my mindset as I try to everyday and make my money work for me and my family. My journey in life and financial freedom has been fulfilling and continues to teach me how to enjoy myself more and more, thanks for this wonderful content!!
I had a maths teacher back in 1980 shouted "Are you some sort of spast!c!!! In front of the whole class, she also went on to attempt to persuade a media class I was also unfortunate to have to take to subscribe to cnd!!! People of a certain age will get it! I got her fired and now earn faaaaaaar more than a bitter ole high-school teacher could ever dream of! Now that's a maths lesson!!💯🤠😎. Great show gentlemen👏👍🙏. Dx
I went to see Brian Cox in Ipswich Suffolk. It was a shame I was very disappointed not in him! But the audience coughs and colds and sneezing I could not hear him very well at all. What a shame. I was very disappointed. I was really looking forward to seeing him. I will never get that chance again. It was a shame that he did not have his mic up louder❤😊

at 21 mins - absolutely spot on. to explain something simply, concisely and with analogies to the layman is the real evidence of comprehension.
This reminds me of the phrase.- An amateur practises until they get it right but a professional practices until they can't get it wrong.

Music and Maths go hand in hand. Of course with Practice. 👍
Thank you guys. Loved it.
Ps Brian Cox my favourite science presenter.
im not sure luck has anything to do with how successful Brian Cox is. I think its his basic humility and empathy for his audience that makes him sucessful.
This guy is such a delight to listen to
Brian cox is the new carl sagen...who else agrees?
Sagan yes, sagen no.
Sir Cox is a living legend.
Just what the mind, body and soul needed right now. Superb interaction, outstanding questioning and exploration from you all. Thankyou to all of you and your expansive minds.
I totally agree with Brian Cox. Everything I'm good at is because I learned hard for it and put my time and effort in it. If you think it has to come naturally, then it's nearly not possible. Maybe there are people out there who are good in something, but mostly they are good because it is something they like. I also liked what he said about when he was studying, that he did most of the work in the beginning and then it was getting better. I remember in school: I learned all the time and when the examns came I was one of the few people that were relaxed, most people just started learning in the week they needed to have the knowledge. I didn't have the highest scores, but good enough to pass....
In fields of observation, chance favors the prepared mind (Pasteur). Fields of observation include not only scientific but artistic fields, and clinical fields. (My addition). Thank you for having this interview!
Being comfortable saying you don't know how something actually works, is such a hard but super valuable thing! I absolutely love quantum physics; but I absolutely don't understand a lot of it tbh...
Amazing podcast with an amazing guest. Thank you, guys!
Great episode, got to love Brian Cox - one of the best humans alive. However, a trip into space would be lost on Boris. Maybe use him as the rocket instead.
I'm a Christian with an interest in science. I've listened to many of the so called atheist scientists like Krauss, Tyson, and many others.
One thing they all seem to share is some level of being sarcastically dismissive about a subject area which they can't possibly be cognisant of.
It's a credit to Brian that he never plumbs those intellectual depths.
Much like his 'hero' Feinman, he's more than prepared to admit that there are places that perhaps only mysticism; meta-physics might have the answers.
Brian is an atheist.
He models the “I-don’t-know” humility that the religious want scientists to admit, but I see religious struggle to admit themselves. Recovering religious know-it-all over here.😅
Great role model for pur younger generations, you only get out what you put in. Thanks for interviewing and sharing.
Depends what you put it in……….
Greatest advice anyone could receive and thanks so much for that! I am my own financial advisor and have always had a good grasp on finance, albeit I am hardheaded on ability to retain lessons, it has chalked me up from time to time to relearn to accept doubt. I know that it is part of the process. Thank you for helping me grow my mindset as I try to everyday and make my money work for me and my family. My journey in life and financial freedom has been fulfilling and continues to teach me how to enjoy myself more and more, thanks for this wonderful content!!
I had a maths teacher back in 1980 shouted "Are you some sort of spast!c!!! In front of the whole class, she also went on to attempt to persuade a media class I was also unfortunate to have to take to subscribe to cnd!!! People of a certain age will get it! I got her fired and now earn faaaaaaar more than a bitter ole high-school teacher could ever dream of! Now that's a maths lesson!!💯🤠😎. Great show gentlemen👏👍🙏. Dx
"be absolutely delighted when your wrong". I should be in eternal bliss!
Amazing interviewers, such a good listen!
I went to see Brian Cox in Ipswich Suffolk.
It was a shame I was very disappointed not in him!
But the audience coughs and colds and sneezing I could not hear him very well at all. What a shame.
I was very disappointed.
I was really looking forward to seeing him.
I will never get that chance again.
It was a shame that he did not have his mic up louder❤😊
I’m pretty sure Brian is the best person I know
You guys ask such amazing questions. Bravo
Please take care of your bodies!! We need you to live to share!! Thanks for sharing!!
This guy never ages.
Love this guy!! we really need to create a way to more clones of him, and achieve world peace an upgrade to level 2 civilization ;)
