Just watched it and it was great, just a bit naughty at the end. Brian looked great in his brown suit, brown shoes and brown socks, very smart. Might watch a few more of those utubey clips with BC.

Why this sordid attack?

Isn't being a particle physicist damnation enough?

Where do you think he got his big white teeth. While it has been established in another thread that a proton beam will burn a hole through your head, a lepton beam will whiten and shape one's teeth.

The tousled hair is all due to him sticking his head in a cloud chamber...filled with dry ice

His excuse was he was looking for Peter Higgs

Brian, if you are reading this, I want to have dinner with you when you are in Oz, and am sure Liz will join too. Or I can cook you dinner and Liz can feed you alcohol. Pm me. Hubby won't mind, as he understands the secrets of the universe needs to be solved.

All these posts are still topic related right . We are after all talking about Brian Cox which is directly related to the show.

Have dinner with a particle physicist? They make mathematicians appear humble.

Quote:
In science's great chain of being, the particle physicists place themselves with the angels, looking down from the heavenly spheres on the chemists, biologists, geologists, meteorologists - those who are applying, not discovering nature's most fundamental laws. Everything, after all, is made from subatomic particles. Once you have a concise theory explaining how they work, the rest should just be filigree.
Even the kindred discipline of solid-state physics, which is concerned with the mass behavior of particles – what metals, crystals, semiconductors, whole lumps of matter do - is often considered a lesser pursuit. "Squalid state physics," Murray Gell-Mann, discoverer of the quark, dubbed it. Others dismiss it as "dirt physics."

CAN I COME!?!?! I will make him my famous roast chicken with lemon, honey, garlic and herb sauce and mustard rosemary potatos and for desert... Well, we wouldn't want anything sweet to wreck those gleaming teeth of his, now would we!? And then we would all talk far into the wee hours of the morning about the many wonders of the universe and more...

Ahem, anyway. Back on topic.

I started watching Wonders of the Solar System on the way to Rarotonga as it was one of the only worthwhile documentaries provided on the flight. I was instantly mesmerised! And I thought he was like 26 but alas he is not around my age But the series is amazing so far, he explains in such a way that tantalises us about the mysteries of the universe yet keeps it grounded by explaining these amazing things by relating them to things we can observe on Earth.

And he's pretty

Only saw the promo once, and was so excited. I remember the music was pretty powerful, check it tonight.
