I love it when an interviewer asks concise questions without giving us half of her life story and then lets the interviewee answer without interruptions. Congratulations Emma Barnett! Great job.
@JohnSmithGlobeLiesaw u posted a few times negative about him.. does ur name mean ur a flat earther? Not judging just wonder if that's why u say he lies
Need more people like Brian who don’t talk about space and astronomy in a dismissive way to people that don’t understand it. He talks about these things like a normal human being that most people can grasp.
A masterclass in interviewing. I'm heartened to see that others have also appreciated the expert way this interview was conducted. Thank you, Emma. Absolutely floor-less.
I don't know how to express this feeling. I almost cried while listening to your story, Professor. It's very deep and astonishing at the same time. Thank you once again for being such a good scientist and storyteller!
Absolutely fantastic interviewer. I wish she could interview every person with something to say because she doesn’t put herself in the way and she asks great questions. Well done.
I've said the same thing as him before......if there is no other intelligent life in the universe, including never here on Earth, no one or no thing would ever get to experience it or see it. It would just be there. This makes me appreciate being alive.
It's probably the first time i see a journalist asking questions without interrupting and being genuinely interested and smiling for a change! Well done lady, Great interview,👏👏👏
The journalist is called Emma Barnett. She's used to host the morning slot on BBC radio 5 Live, a highly popular station with millions of daily listeners. Learning her craft with the likes of Nicky Campbell who is a giant in listening carefully and letting the caller speak. Emma's a brilliant journalist and this interview illustrates this.
@JohnSmithGlobeLie now that's funny do i know what reality is!! Of course not none of us know! I speak of my reality which is my current consciousness experience that I'm creating as "we" speak
Emma Barnett is a very intelligent interviewer, she asks intelligent questions and allows time for an appropriate answer. Brian I think has allowed normal people to understand the very difficult, quite a skill.
Why is the universe so unfathomably beautiful. There is no reason it needs to be like this at all, or even the existence of math and rules and laws. Why even something instead of nothing. So incredibly cool.
This is really an astonishing piece of information and most cosmo biologist believe that probablity of an intelligent life at least in our galaxy apart from earth is actually “none” ,even one of my friend who works as an astro biologist think in the same manner … intelligent life is very very rare and out of trillions of possibilities and with right conditions only then an intelligent life can occur !!! I was spellbound with this information and since then i firmly believe that we as human beings have a greater responsibility to not only save humanity but also this fragile planet and here we are fighting each other in the name of religion and killing each other just to satisfy our bloated egos!!!
We have no clue as to how often life arise, how often it evoles into "us," and if it even evolves into a technological civilzations at all, some may never do that. And even IF there is even one or two civilizations per galaxy, considering there are hundreds of trillions of galaxies, and counting, the universe is likely throbbing with thought and culture and weirdness.
Today in the US congress testimony was given regarding the recovery of crashed non-human craft and the exploitation of said tech by unnamed defence contractors. This is not National Enquirer stuff, bud. Yet here you are wanging on like ET reality is still contested.
I am appalled at the negative ( uneducated ) responses elsewhere here - Brian is a fabulous communicator with unflappable charisma - A true Educator for the upcoming generations. For me - the perfect follow on to Sir David Attenborough ( and even the equally brilliant Prof. Richard Dawkins )
"the earth is one planet around one star amongst four billion stars, in one galaxy amongst two trillion galaxies, in the part of the universe we can see.." 😅
Always like to listen to Brian even if I (as a pure layman) think there are more than one intelligent civilisation per galaxy. I hope to get the answer in my lifetime...
This is why I believe there’s way more going on than we will ever realize. For instance I personally think we’re part of something that, to make it easy to think about, is analogous to the whole universe being the internal structure of some being’s brain (or fill in the blank-doesn’t have to be exactly that, just that our universe is not at all what we ‘think’ it is.) And what’s unique about us vs our elementary particles is that we can observe and break wave functions as the organism needs-that could be something like how the cells in our body mutate for our benefit or repair themselves. Just a fun shower thought
@@taylorjeremy71 :grins: Well he was a muso first so I suppose it's ingrained from hid younger days. And, as a complete aside, that font on his shirt is a nod to SPACE 1999 I think.
I’m not so enthusiastic about encountering another civilization, especially a one more advanced. Think about it, if we found another planet that could harbor civilization, that was already inhabited by a more primitive one, what would stop us from moving in and pushing them aside?
Bear in mind that the number of Earth-like worlds is pretty darned large - the whole alien-invasion meme is based on there being something inherently valuable here on Earth ... and, other than us, there isn't. One of the things we are learning is that, if we want to go somewhere else, we have to overcome our own evolutionary adaption to our own world.
The other argument is we haven't dug deep enough to know what existed in earth before 2.5 million years ago but Earth has existed for 4.5 billion years. We don't know if there were civilisations that might have existed.
There's more than one in our galaxy. I think the periodic table of individual galaxy will greatly increase the chance for life. As the milkyway 100 percent has the ingredients for life we must and I mean we must take it as a fact that life exists throughout our galaxy. As you are the evidence that if the correct ingredients are present life will arise.
What a really top bloke. He's my favourite scientist. The way he explains things is unmatched. And the way he ties different aspects of science&nature together. Best all round go to space dude. Closely followed by Neil, Sean and Lawrence. Brian, could a black hole act as a matter portal. Sending matter to areas within the multiverse where new universe's are being born? In a form of primordial plasma not unlike the stuff we currently believe was present at the formation of our own universe... Could they be arteries feeding all forms of energy back to the source of energy at the beginning? To keep it constantly firing and the universe growing? Could we be part of something so vast it's incomprehensible, and the black holes lead to a literal cosmic venous system to which the nutrient energy and matter rich material is transported and re-used/re-formed? I have so many questions.
"Can you reconstruct a book that fell into a blackhole?" No. The book's particles will still exist somewhere, even upon evaporation of the black hole, but the book will be long gone.
My point is 👉 If the Christian deity is truly wise, why didn't He predict that adding a son to Abrahamic monotheism would lead to massive amounts of doubt, genocide and uncertainty?
He soon skipped over what the JWST has shown us... that when we look back close to the beginning of time, we see mature, spiral galaxies, similar to ours.
this interviw was recorded August 22nd 2022.. JWST didnt becone active until July 11th 2022. i doubt there was anything to skip over at that moment in time
@@RussellBurns-nv8er You've either a short memory, or not done any actual research. There were plenty of surprises in that first few weeks of activity from the JWST.
Do think that the planet earth was drawn towards the sun over millions of years and suffered the bounce effect as our planet was closing, but then was repelled by gravitational factors to keep the earth at approximately 93 million miles from the sun. Does the planet then oscillate in and out of the orbit slightly causing a change in climate?
Good interview. My constant question is, if god exists, who or what created god? Since there is no answer to that, why do people still have faith in one of the gods out there?
Brian. Also rock star? Multi talented Question I am a beginning Astro physics lover. Are we living in a black hole? Some bh s are billion times larger than sun. A whole galaxy could live in a black hole this size. Some scientist say this. I love listening to you.
Actually, Brian was firstly in a band called Dare who recorded 2 albums and toured extensivly in Europe supporting group Europe in 1989, also supporting Jimmy Page on his Outrider tour they was signed to AM records in 1987 and disbanded in 1991 , this is when Brian decided to go to University and pursue his passion for Astrophysics during which time he had a stint with pop band D Ream
Its a great point that if we didn't 'waste' money on these projects, we'd be living in the dark ages still. Electricity, radio, the car, air travel etc all came from people taking a punt and spending the money.
Exactly! That's what Socrates said hundreds of years ago, "We don't know!" And he was sentenced to death forced to drink poison in the public square! 😮🎉❤
Hes against non science but if everything we have learnt in terms of the uaps, we have witnessed confirmed sightings by reputable sources(pilots) and from radar displaying movement that we cant replicate ie 90 degree turns at speeds humans couldnt survive and unbelievable acceleration. I understand that Brian needs to wait for confirmation but we need his Brian on this.

Around 15:50 One sentence that everyone should take to heart - enough with the childish and emotive nonsense of the present socio-political environment! We have responsibilities more serious than what pronoun someone has in their bio.
The best part ever of all he has been saying is (we don't know). It's the most honest and real answer for all questions.

@@Thedudeabides803 haahha cheers for the laughs dude also this interview was great. She did a great job. Brian, as always, was amazing to listen to.
I often wonder if the stars that we see in these images have died or don't exist anymore, any comments on this 😇👍
If only the mainstream media could follow suit
Absolutely! Here here.
I can listen to this man talk ALL DAY LONG. He's beyond amazing.
@JohnSmithGlobeLieI love to listen to him as well.. and I'm the least brainwashed person who exists in this multiverse 🧐🤫
@JohnSmithGlobeLiesaw u posted a few times negative about him.. does ur name mean ur a flat earther? Not judging just wonder if that's why u say he lies
@JohnSmithGlobeLieCan you specify? In which part is he lying?
He's not really saying anything or even anything scientific. It's all philosophical. To sum up the whole interview: I don't know, we don't know.
@@MrLaughingcorpse agree....
Need more people like Brian who don’t talk about space and astronomy in a dismissive way to people that don’t understand it. He talks about these things like a normal human being that most people can grasp.
I agree. That is exactly what I don't respect with Neil de Grasse Tyson, cause he is such an ego diva. Brian is such a great humble guy
I agree 👍

We need more videos from him. Thank you and Cheers !
Absolutely fantastic interviewer. I wish she could interview every person with something to say because she doesn’t put herself in the way and she asks great questions. Well done.
11:46 Mr. Cox's response to this question has me mind blown 🤯, humbled, and appreciative of life...
Brian’s strongest traits are his child like wonder and his relatability/down to earth personality. 12:14 this stat never fails to amaze me!.
Never forget Patrick Moore's humility and integrity in saying "We just don't know".
I've said the same thing as him before......if there is no other intelligent life in the universe, including never here on Earth, no one or no thing would ever get to experience it or see it. It would just be there. This makes me appreciate being alive.
This guy is a true treasure.

Brilliant interview. I really enjoyed the show. Listening to prof Brian gives me huge respect to science and scientists wherever they are. Respect 🫡
I love the way he says "longer" and "number".
I love the way he talks anyway. So much enthusiasm. 🥰
this man mesmerises me every time I listen to him talking about cosmology
So refreshing and inspirational put forth so simply and clearly, with such humility, grace ... and humour . Loved it !!
Intelligent questions, intelligent, thought provoking answers delivered with the usual engaging and entertaining manner.
I hope that Brian never loses his beautiful smile
I could listen to Brian all day, so soothing!
Terrific interview! Always enjoy listening to Brian talk about the Cosmos! 👍👍💥💥
Emma obviously has a great interest in this subject and therefor she does an amazing job on this interview.
Why is the universe so unfathomably beautiful. There is no reason it needs to be like this at all, or even the existence of math and rules and laws. Why even something instead of nothing. So incredibly cool.
@JohnSmithGlobeLie you never looked up at night sky in your life ?
WOW. Great interview and amazing dialogue. Thank you!
Seen the horizons show in Dublin it was amazing I can't express how fascinating it was
Taken 4 billions years to go from cell to civilisation and we are just killing each other over imaginary lines in the dirt. Good Job humanity.

What a man!!! And what a woman!!o! Brilliant video
Love the Space 1999 t-shirt!
Is Brian being coy, in his delightfully shy manner, to admit that he might find the idea of hairy black holes tantalizing?
Miss thise wobbly sets!
Like his Space 1999 t/shirt 👍👍 Recognise that font any where
Good call!
Excellent interview
He is all smiles all the time...😀😀
He's a true ambassador to science for us less than studied
Seen him in Glasgow last night, very good show would have listened for another 3 hours if they would have kept going
Did ye,aye
Where is this big bank they keep mentioning and how do I set up an account there?
Great interview what a extraordinary gift humanity and science has with scientists like Brian
"the earth is one planet around one star amongst four billion stars, in one galaxy amongst two trillion galaxies, in the part of the universe we can see.." 😅

Hey, Love Brian's Space 1999 T Shirt !!
Great and informative interview! It's all so fascinating
One thing that I can't handle is that Brian is, finally, starting to show the marks of time ... entropy is real :chuckles:

I just think ‘things can only get better’
Wow! So enlightening. So much knowledge and yet so little. What will it take for all humans to turn their greed and hate for enlightenment.
This guy's a geek's geek, a nerd's nerd. To find one who can speak well and communicate well is rare indeed.
What happens when a black hole dies? Should you not be able to see inside when the energy in it decay?
Do black holes actually fully form, or do they evaporate before they ever get the chance?
Isn't the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy the closest galaxy to us? Andromeda is closest to the Milky Way Galaxy. This confuses me.
Andromeda is our closest spiral galaxy.
Superb interviewer!
