Professor Brian Cox: Our Place in the Universe

Brian Cox's talk at the Hawking 75 symposium, 2 July 2017

beginning of the video: "I'd like to introduce the guy, who's going to introduce the guy, who's guy to introduce the guy who's going to be speaking today"

Brian Cox delivers science in a way that folks like me can wrap my mind around and not lose interest or understanding. ALWAYS a pleasure.

[KikaKunt]

Brian Cox is the Keanu Reeves of Science. What a time to be alive, most people living today won't understand the significance of his impact to the scientific community till they are way older. Younger generations will eventually look to his understanding the most. He's way beyond most peoples understanding.

Can't help but smile when Brian talks about the Universe, he clearly loves what he does and it's great to see

[smajdovamanka]

I don't know what to say that hasn't been said already. The man is a legend. Absolutely captivating and fascinating talk. 10/10

I’m getting obsessed with his speeches, his vocabulary and explanation makes you really believe in his words.
A lot of scientists talk but seem like they’re reading off a screen, Brian obviously knows what he is talking about and really believes his study, i love him!

Professor BRIAN COX never ages.
Love this man.
I could listen to him all day.

I'm not English...I'm American..but I'm so joyed to be fortunate enough to listen to Mr Cox. But to think out of 20 billion stars..1 in ten has the potential to be an earth "like" planet. .. not a planet just like earth. Earth "like"..its astounding

[Riku-Leela]

I love Brian, he's such a legend, the one who get me interested in science as a teenager and still look up to him even now 🙏

[jpstube]

What a brilliant lecturer he is - he has the knack of making difficult concepts understandable.

[AcousticJamDad]

Brian Cox is the best…he Happens to be my favorite physicist alive today. His articulation and explanations on things is just second to none. I’ve liked so many of his short videos on FB that my entire feed is just Brian Cox science excerpts lol

[samienaamien]

Brian Cox makes physics sound like poetry. In fact, it IS poetry... Like poetry, it's about the interconnectedness of everything. Thank you Professor Cox!

[niklastorshagen]

I could listen to Brian Cox all day, I can't say the same for Neil Degrasse Tyson

I was at a very low ebb today when I woke with so much foreboding on the news about COVID. So I watched Brian's lecture again (3rd time) and was again lifted up out of my Doom at such spectacular phenomenal universe's we are part of. Ho how I wish I could leave this sad broken Earth and start afresh on a new planet with kind caring friends 🌈🎱

Professor Brian Cox is a versatile genius- his depth of knowledge is really fascinating & his unique style of propagating "Physics & Cosmology" is pleasing..

[philip-opde]

I think it’s really sad that most American’s have no idea who Brian Cox is. I discovered him earlier this year and was immediately impressed by his passion for Science and Physics. Wish he was coming somewhere near me, would love to join a lecture.

prof Brian makes me want to go to university at 44 after i already had 2 universities .... i wish all professors could be like him !

[darrendeagan]

Absolute inspirational genius who has inspired me to learn more and more about space, physics and our universe.

Just seen this; it is very sad when one knows the great Prof Hawking (sitting in his wheel-chair in the front row, methinks) died some time ago. However, Prof Cox's lecture is, without doubt, the best over-arching explanation of how we came to where we are in our understanding (or lack thereof!) of cosmology which I have ever seen / heard / read. If ever one wanted to know how to present a talk, this is a shining example. And, yes, I now understand much more than I did - thank you, Prof Cox!

I really enjoy listening to Brian's lectures. My all time favorites is Richard Feynman. I have listened to one live lecture of Brian's and I will make sure I return to every lecture from now on. He does a great job and is a great science communicator
