"It's quite an unpleasant feeling"

*smiles*

[hermityt]

Brian Cox is just one of those people that can smile through until he reached 5g's that is. It took 5g's to force the smile off his face. Even Brian's smile couldn't withstand the force of gravity :D

[flobba]

looks like he aged 30 years at the end of it lmao

[adamholmes]

Damn you Brian Cox! I'm trying to sleep but your documentaries are too interesting.

[SSJBejita]

Isn't British politeness and reserve grand? Imagine Brian getting tortured, and telling his tormentors :"Oh my, that is quite unpleasant." Would drive them mad, it would ^^.

[skinny]

I'd so pay to go on this. Experiencing a different gravity would be one of a kind.

[LukeBeacon]

omg i love how he continues smiling even though you can tell he is so fucking uncomfortable lmfaoooo

"its quite hard to speak"A AHHAHA

[saynololzisback]

thats madness, i felt so bad for him when he said, "take me down."

[venusjohn]

thanks for uploading this video.its an amazing one, about gravity, neutron star etc.

I think the trained F-16 fighter pilot that Brian is talking about is Roy Vincken. In the version of this episode I just watched he did the same experiment and went up to 8, 5 Gs when he started losing vision.

[arpitkulshreshtha]

I was worried if reducing gravity would restore his face

[JamesCarmichael]

I think this was the only scene where he wasn't smiling lol. Don't blame him though. Science is awesome.

Remember that we are talking about acceleration. Jupiter gravitation is much more strong that just 5 times earth. For example, if an object is 4 million kilometers from the center of Jupiter it will be pulled by a "force" 300 times greater than if it was situated at the same distance from Earth. So not 2 times.

[DoubleHipoDouble]

He got a lot older looking the stronger the gravity

[standamanisdabest]

They should call this "Brian Cox and the Fountain of Youth"

[prasad]

At 4:44... does he really say that the planet is called wasp ate bee :'D

[propcircles]

brian cox finally looks like hes aging

[TacoKingDavid]

Vegeta trains at 400g to 500g no sweat.
in super saiyan 4 is at about 2, 000, 000g to 4, 000, 000g

[lmss]

Please... Does anybody know what the song is called at around 5:54? I've been wondering for a long time and I don't think it's on the soundtrack.

Funny you should say that -- Time and gravity are of course relative. Although interestingly, it works in the opposite way. Increases in gravity slow time down, and decreases speed it up...
