I will always be a Lawrence Krauss woman, thank you very much! After all I still plan to travel to Canberra when he visits ANU sometime this year and swoon over his amazing insight But I can't help if my eyes wander every now and then...

Just got home from work, and glad to see that most really enjoyed it, thought you may have found it a bit boring Craig, so happy you liked it.
I knew you would like it suzy, and great that your daughter did too.
Yes, I loved the solar eclipse from Mars too, how amazing!!

Yes, have been watching that series in the last week and enjoyed it too.

I think we should lobby for equal time and have Amy Mainzer host a series. (Apologies to Lisa Randall).

Amy has appeared in "The Universe" series.

You're off topic! Back to Brian now, yep yep.

And when I mentioned Amy & Linda earlier I meant Lisa whats her name.
Why's there now a picture of Amy on this thread instead of Brian You'll play mean. I don't know how to put googled pics up.

It is the M part of E=mc2 that makes it all so difficult to accelerate anything but photons to the speed of light. Photons are massless but protons have mass.
The LHC is a particle collider smashing particles with mass at near light speed. If we collide photons then if E=mc2. E=0mc2. E=0.

I wonder which species he's checking it for ?
Did you notice which t-shirt he's wearing in the photo ?
Answer: You don't have to notice !!! .. Its always the same one !!


Lisa Randall ?? … now there's a power woman !!
She'd eat Cox for breakfast.
(Unfortunately discussions about her are verboten and seem to lead to locked threads).

Has anyone ever seen a scientific paper authored by Cox ?

Randall has written some (pretty heavy stuff, too). So has Greene. Even Kaku co (kind of) co-authored some.

I've never heard or seen any by Cox, though.

Cheers

PS: Ok .. so here are his papers .. can't pin any downside of him on that basis, alone.

Sooooo Liz, Suzy and Shelley......
Have you sent your well wishes to Brian yet for his 43 rd Birthday?
Today is his Birthday!!!!

He's 2 months and 1 year older than me, but he seems to have more grey hairs than I do
And in repetition of what others have said here on this post...... great show!

Just a side note ( Wikipedia is great- if it is true), he was a band member of D:Ream as a keyboard player. "things, can only get better" was one of the songs....

I just did Too bad he is 19 years older than me

Still his insights are amazingly thought provoking and he is extroadinarily passionate about what he does and that is truly why I am really interested in him. It just so happens he is extremely easy on the eye too

Happy birthday Brian!

He has a bit of a garden gnome look to him, without the facial hair. Especially when he was in the cold Scandinavian countryside.....

Bartman
sure he is taller but the cheeks, nose and eyes......

Happy birthday Brian!
That shouldn't be a worry...he's a more "worldly and experienced" guy than your "barely out of nappies" 20 somethings. He's been there and done that...plus he's in a cushy, tenured job on good money and he's a former rocker

Oh, and unfortunately I do believe he's already spoken for

I wonder how grungy his wife is ?

Anyone ever seen a photo of her ?

I wonder if she always wears the family t-shirt, too ?
… perhaps she wore it at the wedding, also

Cheers

Do you think Brian might be reading these posts?
If so, why not start a thread wishing him a happy birthday and see if you( we .....the IIS forum) get a response?.
Or if somebody has a bit of pull, get him to join our forum and on the odd occasion contribute to some of our great posts......maybe this one excluded..... heheheheheh:lol :

Well, I mean .. Cox has shown us that all we need to do is not shower for several weeks and not comb our hair .. wear the same t-shirt .. teeth, etc ..


He's a genius !!
