    Against the stunning backdrop of the glaciers of Alaska, Brian reveals his fourth Wonder. Saturn's moon Titan is shrouded by a murky, thick atmosphere. He reveals that below the clouds lies a magical world. Titan is the only place beyond Earth where we've found liquid pooling on the surface in vast lakes, as big as the Caspian Sea, but the lakes of Titan are filled with a mysterious liquid, and are quite unlike anything on Earth.

    I finally found out the name of the track that starts at 1.10! It's called 'Optical', composed by Paul Reeves and is in his APM Music album Life in Motion. Gosh, I've been trying to find this track since 2009, and I know I'm not the only one. Everyone upvote this comment so other searchers can find it!

    Quite possibly the best science based programme I have ever seen. I sit mesmerised every Sunday in sheer awe at what I am being taught: what I wish I had learnt whilst I was at school. Prof Brian Cox presents like a giddy school boy who's just bought his first home science kit. I challenge anyone to sit and watch this programme and not be completely and utterly enthralled. I encourage everyone to watch and gain a greater appreciation of who we are and why we're here. Just brilliant.

  • @winniexn

    I love his excitement/curiosity approach to his presenting. He is so inspiring and makes the programme so much more engaging!
    From someone who was always a bit scared of Physics or Science in general, Brian Cox has me totally captivated. Definitely an achievement and has renewed my interest and I know that there are plenty of others who feel the same way! What a great show!

    I've been interested in Titan ever since I saw the scene in Gattica way back in 1997 "or so" where Ethan Hawke demonstrates the mystery of Titan's surface by blowing his cigarette smoke into his drinking glass. Not since Carl Sagan's time has anyone been able to captivate me with fascinating stories of astrophysics quite like Brian Cox.

    They are lakes of methane. As he mentioned, Earth's atmosphere allows water to exist in liquid, solid, and gas forms. Titan's atmosphere allows methane to exist in all three forms as well. Titan has methane clouds, that rain methane, forming methane rivers and lakes. Just as water, in it's different forms helps shape/change the landscape on Earth, methane plays a role in shaping the land on Titan.

    • @cdnerin
      @cdnerin 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, you're right. I actually saw a video of Prof. Cox giving a TED Talk, and he recited a Carl Sagan quote that went along with the photo of Earth as a tiny little dot caught in a sunbeam, the furthest picture taken of Earth, and that photo & quote is the log-on screen for my computer! I read it at least once every week,, especially lately (I have the full "speech" on my copy, I think).
      Although the rings of Saturn are just boggling ... and the colour of Neptune is my all-time favourite shade of blue. Oh, and the sheer size of Jupiter and those storms on it! I haven't watched the Wonders of the Universe yet, I've borrowed it from my local library, just finishing up Solar System first!

  • @jlmadill
    @jlmadill 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TheAlexander356 Since electrons have mass then yes of course gravity can slow them down. However this applies only to electrons in free space. Electrons in an orbit are bound by quantum wells and particular energy states, thus they do not slow down as they "orbit" a nucleus. In fact, they are not really orbitting but in a quantum probability blur around the nucleus. They do not "move" from one energy level to another in a traditional sense but rather jump quantumly. Hope that helps.

Viva la Brian. Viva la Physics! And, viva la Sir David A. for arousing interest in our natural world and universe.

      I think he was implying if water was present on Titan because the temperature on Titan is well below it's freezing point so at -180 degrees ice would be very very hard indeed, because the temperature on Titan would not be above the melting point of water so it'll just stay hard solid ice.
