I must say this is a timeless classic. I am watching it in 2021 and I got amazed when I saw this was posted 10 years back.

When I first discovered Brian Cox, around 12 years ago, I was instantly enthralled by his voice and the way he describes physics. Not since Carl Sagan, has any physicist had that affect on me.

This is so cool; they find really creative and intuitive ways of explaining physics to the "ordinary" public. This is the second video of this series I've watched so far, the other being on time / entropy

Best and simplest analogy I've ever heard for this subject.

the music used throughout this series is great. so perfect for the atmosphere.

Any time I watch Brian Cox I’m just so glad he uses his talents and knowledge to help our species. Same for Carl Sagan.

[JosephSullivan-vf]

I love how he quietly yet enthusiastically explains things

The sound design in this series is the best I've ever heard in any documentary. It creates an atmosphere like no other.

Brian cox is amazing. And quite frankly I could listen to him for hours; teaching us things and trying to help people understand the jargon of the vast amazing sometimes harsh universe. The things he talks about explains things only science could xD

[whoslisteningu]

the cinematography on this series is impressive

"Singularity is the place where our understanding of the universe stops " I like that line.

Just been watching one of these on beeb 2 when the prof says if you dont understand it dont worry, neither do i.. Ha I could watch a few of these. Good presenter Brian Cox... Tells it at a steady pace

Spagghetified - That's what happens to me most Friday nights to be honest Brian

[johnholme]

Thanks for explaining it properly, now I understand how time dilation is created.

In order to make a "Cinematic Experience" as Brian was going for, you'd have to shoot in some pretty awesome places. The intro of the series has Brian on top of a mountain. Its all part of the Cinematic Experience we want.

Thank you James Blunt for teaching me the wonders of the universe.

Once You Near A Black Hole That's It Game Over So To Speak!🌌

[SolidRavenOcelot]

We used to look up and wonder about our place in the stars. Now we look down and worry about our place in the dirt.

Very nice explaination. I wish I would have taken my college/university physics lectures with you :)

[corack]

Absolute legend!
If only every physics teacher could explain concepts as fluently as him. I would be enjoying physics at Uni a lot more if Brian was my lecturer :)
