Brian Cox - What Can The James Webb Space Telescope Tell Us About The Universe?

Brian Cox talks the James Webb Space Telescope and it's importance for our understanding of the Universe.
Throughout history, people have gazed up at the night sky and wondered about our place in the universe. What else is out there? How did it all begin? Are there other planets like Earth? Well the new revolutionary telescope called the James Webb Space Telescope that was successfully deployed into space could answer a lot of these questions. Scientists like Brian Cox are excited because this gigantic instrument could solve many mysteries of our Universe.

The voice of Brian Cox is so subdued but I can’t stop listening to him. This guy is a genius and really captivates my attention.

This is a great video. I recently built a 1:7.5 scale model of Webb's primary and secondary mirror for my middle school classroom. They are so excited to see what it will discover. I can't wait to show them this video. Well done!

[hannahmillington]

So refreshing to hear a scientist to say "We don't know" rather some arrogant posturing like humans have all the answers. Having an open mind is a gift.

The whole world needs to watch this..Thank you Professor Cox and and Team. LEGENDS! ❤️

[anthonybinnie]

These videos with Brian Cox are absolute brilliant

[nysockexchange]

Thank you. You've answered many of my big picture questions that previous docs have failed to satisfactorily address.

[philochristos]

I hope they take another pictures of the Hubble deep field. It'll be interesting to compare them.

[ronaldronald]

So exciting! I am so curious what JWST is gone discover. Cosmology is in its golden age and we can all join in to watch. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you all at Science Time!

We are very fortunate to live during this time in regards to astronomy.

[andrewbeasley]

Webb, is going to be, mind blowing. I could listen to Professor Brian Cox, all day and never get bored

[radu]

This mini doc was amazing!!! Well done team Science Time.

[davidayres]

I love listening to Prof Brian Cox. His voice js so relaxing.

[psihostrumpf]

We should behave differently in any case. Whether we are the only civilization in Universe or just one of billions, which is equally amazing. And we should start with teaching astronomy to our kids from early childhood, instead of ancient fairy tales from deserts...

[maureensolverson]

Nicely done, you do a great job of communication that really helps a novice get the picture. Your humility comes through and that’s what is needed more theses days. Too may people in academia and other fields are full of themselves.

Professor Cox speaks of our world's formation by speaking about learning about the beginning the further out we are able to explore. He said that the further away from Earth the less carbon is found. Wouldn't that make us the center of the universe that everything is drawn to? Did time start from one direction and is heading in another? Did the Big Bang send particles in all (360 degrees) directions? How far do you need to go in the other direction to find similar findings to here? His videos are so interesting. I still can't fathom how the scientists are able to prove many of their theories.

Awesome video! Can't wait to see the first pictures. As much as I hate summer....June needs to hurry up!

[bernieflanders]

I've read all of professor Cox's books many times over and they are still as brilliant as the 1st time I read them. My favourite is "the quantum universe". He describes the quantum world in the most conceivable way that I've read and hilariously debunks all of the new age voodoo, woo woo nonsense that gets spilled all over the place using irrefutable evidence and facts.

[joshtherahrah]

Brian Cox is one of my favourite humans. I love listening to him.

[glentorn]

Cosmology is at the threshold of a grand awakening. Very exciting indeed!

[bensellars]

If we have to look in a certain direction to find the Big Bang, what happens if we focus Web the same distance on the opposite direction?
