Brian Cox On The Most Terrifying Places In Our Solar System | BBC Earth Science 

I can see a commercial happening

Double Cox? Cox squared? 2 Cox on earth? Endless possibilities!

@@arthurjamesaltmann729Cox on socks?

I kind of wanted a charity special where they have to do each other's job for week or so. Brian Swap. Or a sitcom like the original Odd Couple that starts from the real life premise that the BBC reserve a hotel room for Brian, and then a room for Brian. When they arrive there's only one room, and things go on from there. Maybe on a cruise ship? *Remember this actually happened a couple of years ago.*

Just another reason to love Brian Cox!

He’s got a permanent smile which is disconcerting but attentive to others as warm n friendly.

_Apart from_ his pronunciation of "ashume" instead of 'assume' I'd agree... That he was inspired by and respectful of the late Carl Sagan, makes him even nicer to me. (yes, am biased, sorry!!) 🤭

@@brigidsingleton1596 Carl Sagan is a legend 🙌🏼 The fact that Brian was in a rock band too what a guy 😎

@@VaBellaBeautz Re Carl Sagan ♥️ Absolutely. Re Brian Cox, keyboards🎹, not guitar🎸 or drums so...(?!) Yeah, D:Ream were okay... Like him better as a scientist, tbh.

I’ve went to see him a couple of times live. Way above my intelligence level but was brilliant. Could listen to him all day

@@brigidsingleton1596maybe the most boring comment ever 🤭

ur mom is more terrifying

That’s not a place though is it?

Someone else who is super interesting is Anton Petrov. He has a Russian accent & speaks very fast, but his RU-vids are always supremely interesting. We are just super lucky to live in the times we do with someone who is so knowledgeable and personable as Brian Cox.

Now, I can't unsee it. 😂

😂

Agreed! The Planets (tv series from 2019 I think?) is easily in my top 3 docs of all time. I recommend it to anyone and everyone! Watched it a few times now... Stoked to hear Professor Brian Cox will be giving us more :)

Trump's bathrooms in Mar-a-lago.

Damn, beat me to it.

A 71 yo English woman here, thanking you for your appreciation of us British.

Yes we certainly have very smart people here but we also unfortunately produce a lot of idiots that sound smart but are dumber than a rock. They usually end up getting jobs like minister of the shadow cabinet or foreign secretary.

A man of science doesn't waste time, money, or potential on beer.

@@the6ig6adwolf Don't be silly. Man cannot live by science alone!! (Carl proved that by having three wives and five children f'🦆's sake!!)

All episodes of ‘Solar System’ are on BBC iplayer right now, i think they are airing on terrestrial tv weekly

There's a Neil deGrass Tyson remake of Cosmos, since he was a pupil of Sagan.

No matter how improbable something is, it is still possible. Given enough opportunities over enough time, "improbable" starts to become "unlikely." Given that each planet creates an n-dimensional space in which combinations of variables are tested (e.g., the pressure, temperature, and elements on Venus that led to the metallic snow on Venus), there are a lot of "experiments" being run. Now factor in changing conditions over time, and some worlds where life previously was impossible now are increasingly likely to arise. So now "unlikely" slips into "likely." Factor in more time for evolution to occur, and complex life seems certain. Granted, there are a lot of hurdles along the way (e.g., some complex life will never develop technology), but in a numbers game, "improbable" yields to "inevitable."

Looking for Kling-ons, nonethess.

It's too hot.

It would evaporate right back into the atmosphere because of extreme heat. Would have to be cooler for it to exist in a liquid state.

@@Hoganply What is the boiling point of sulfuric acid? Does it dry up to sulfuric acid powder?

It has no rain. It has virgas. Nothing reaches surface because it's so hot down there. Cox is either ignorant on this or deliberately dumbs interesting things down.

@@lajoswinkler But The Soviets landed a probe directly on its surface, and it was able to survive I don't know how long, but some number of minutes.

We could listen to Brian all day!

A hairdresser or a barber I’d imagine.

Yeah, good points... and he will know all of this. But, honestly, it's enough that these days ANYONE in the general public is watching a science documentary instead of doom-scrolling on TikTok, so I'd give him a pass for choosing to avoid details that are a bit dry for a mainstream audience. Y'know?

Yes, but this is the BBC and on RU-vid. Accuracy is not a requirement when you're aiming at that demographic.

Yet he's world famous, and you are posting yt comments. My point is that no one gives a s?

Yeah I know, right ...

Probably about the same as any other creator myth: not very much.

Funny how you tolerate anything but a differing political opinion, but that causes you become an extremist with zero compassion.

I understand what you mean but still I believe there are worse places to be in the Solar system right now😊

@@krystiankrewniak tell that to the populations that lost lives and everything due to floods and forest fires and lets see what they think… The majority of climate scientists thinks the collapse is within a decade… even bankers know… thats why the bbc wants divert attention . There is no science in a dead planet
