I love KZfaq. The fact that you can have access to conversations like this is incredible.

Brian Cox is the only guy who can look 20 and 50 at the same time.

I appreciate people like Brian Cox. One of the UK's best plain speaking scientist, not talking down to people, but trying to explain unimaginable scales on a level anyone can understand.

Joe and Brian have such great chemistry together. Joe has mega respect for Brian as he should, Brian is an absolute legend to humanity. This podcast with Brian may be the best I’ve seen.

If we all had science teachers like Brian Cox, there would be so many smart scientists growing up by now.

A lot of hosts could learn a lot from Joe, he lets guests talk, doesnt interrupt, doesnt just ask questions but engages in conversation and debate without trying to take all the attention. Great guests too, love Professor Brian Cox.

Cox is as down-to-earth as Tyson is condescending. Love this guy. So smart, yet so respectful. Happy to open people's eyes.

I love this man. He's like the Positive, Sober, Clean, Intelligent friend that hypes you up and inspires you

Just love how genuinely curious Joe is and just lets Brian speak. He doesn't interrupt or change the topic every 5 seconds like a Late Night Show Host. Should definitely get Brian on again in the future, for real.

"Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying." - Arthur C Clarke

It's wonderful, in this midst of this crazy world, to listen to someone who is able to express profound insights in such a tender and unpretentious way. One of your best ever guests, Joe, and you treated him with great and deserved respect. Good stuff.

I could listen to Brian all day. He's such a positive force.

It’s great to see how Joe enjoys the intelligence of his guest. Asks great questions and never interrupts the flow of a great answer. Wonderful stuff.

I don't know why, but I just like this guy. Makes me smile.

Really hits me hard when he reminds us that we are just configurations of atoms - kind of hits home why life is so rare in the Universe.

The biggest problem with trying to find other intelligent life in the universe, is that we naturally project our own expectations and thoughts as humans onto what we think they would look/behave/sound/smell like. We very well could not even comprehend them. There could be life so vastly intelligent and advanced that they visit us every day and we don’t even notice them.

Brian Cox is more comfortable to listen to than Neil deGrasse.

Feels good knowing this guy is out there trying to learn new things and has an open mind. I hope we learn more in our lifetime.

Thank you Brian for your clear logic and knowledge, and for putting it across so well.

Does everyone ever wonder how smart Joe actually is after years of listening to some of the smartest people in the world

I could listen to Brian Cox talk all day. Man I would love to have a conversation with him. He makes it so easy to understand and ponder.

If ever I've had a stressful week and tried to de-stress by having a few beers I often end up stood in my garden in the early hours of the AM having a smoke and find myself staring at the stars in the silence, after a while I really begin to feel the distance and I always end up feeling better about my daily worries because I realise how insignificant it all is compared to what I had just been looking at.

1:48 "we are very very rare configurations of atoms" is a humbling phrase

Brian Cox just enthusiastically talking about science is more ASMR than anything else out there.

Brian cox always looks like he’s about to burst out laughing.

Still to this day, Prof Cox is the most intelligent man Rogan has had on the podcast.

Brian Cox & people like him take us on a journey, within their field of knowledge, which really is vast & they explain it to us, in a way that can be easily understood - that in its self should be highly valued.

Brian Cox: “I believe there is at least one civilization in the milky-way galaxy” Joe: “wowww” Brian: “and that’s us”

so much better than the neil degrasse tyson interview

Brillant man who has the gift of explaining the complex in simple elegant ways.

Love this quote by Dawkins: After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again.

I see something in brian you dont see in many guests. Authentic glee, and something internally youthful. Plus the comforting tone is a great addition. Brian seems like a delightful person and i enjoy his rhetoric. Thank you for this.

Bring this guy back! He's awesome!

only just stumbled onto this one now. Great guest, who like a true scientist has an open mind.. fermi paradox weighs heavy on my mind. Kudos to Joe for always being respectful and open minded towards his guests

Prof. Cox summized it perfectly I think. In that Fermi's is of itself a self revelation of one's (ours) Responsibility to 'Lead'. Regardless of the unknown. It is this comparative hypothetical fantasy that keeps us from doing our own duty. Regardless. Of where we may fit in... Comparatively.

If we are the only intelligent species in the galaxy, then we are the consciousness of the galaxy. That's an enormous responsibility. We would be the custodians of an entire galaxy.

These kind of conversations fascinate me and terrify me at the same time. It overwhelms me to try to comprehend just how small and fragile we are.

It’s crazy to think that some life forms in another galaxy are chillin in their own little world, wondering the same thing about if there’s anyone else. It’s such a shame we don’t get to ever have that epic moment of crossing paths.

This episode is mind boggling ... Isn't it? I can't stop imagining after this.

“I suppose that is possible” a true scientist, a true conversation where both minds are open to new ideas. Love to see it

I saw Brian Cox on a documentary about time, on Netflix, I think. The way he talks about these subjects is fascinating. He's got such a cool energy too. Bring him back to discuss something else sometime☺

The fact we waste an unbelievable gift of 'life' on hate, racism, classism etc. boggles the mind.

Brian cox is a national treasure to the UK he is a cool bloke.

He’s such a good conversationalist he keeps me interested 100% of the time

Neil Degrasse Tyson said it best: " With what we know, saying there is no intelligent life in the universe is like dipping a glass in the Ocean, looking into it and saying there are no whales in the Ocean."

Mr. Cox’s proposition that we may be the only intelligent life around is but one hypothesis to explain the question Enrico Fermi asked in 1950: “Where the hell is everybody?” At this point, I tend toward the explanation that sentient life may be self-eliminating.

What Brian talks about in this clip is something i learned years ago as a kid, i was watching starwars and it said "in a galaxy far away 200000 years ago".. it made me think.. it made me realize that there could have been millions of civilizations in our galaxy that has come and gone, i mean its very unlikely but still possible. We could be the only civ out there right now, in our galaxy. With 2 trillion galaxies there are bound the be more advanced civs out there and planets full of life but without a modern being like humans. Like when Earth had the dinosaurs, there were events that took place who paved way for us humans. Would we have developed into humans from monkeys if the dinosaurs had still been around? no way, life were too dangerous to settle down, to build up our social structures and to develop our minds. Good old clip this. Enjoy life everyone, its way too short.

I could listen to Brian all day. He’s so well spoken, genuine and intelligent.

Tony ferguson the type of guy to stare at the sun to condition his eyes.

Science is incredible. Pure facts and logic. Right or wrong. Zero in between. If only politics was like science.

I can appreciate this type of dialog because it's more meaningful when more people can understand and engage. No matter how knowledgeable or educated a person may be, it's fruitless if the idea can't be communicated effectively. Too many syllables, too much technical terminology, can drain a soul or lose one's attention. Joe Rogan gets a ton of respect from me because he's willing to engage on so many levels and in so many arenas. To me, it shows his true intelligence by being able to do so and, at the same time learn along with the rest of us lay people.

Nobody loves their job more than Brian Cox. I wish I had that much passion for literally anything in life.

The thing I love about Brian Cox is that as he's talking about the stuff he knows, or especially the things he doesn't know, there's always him smiling and a curious look in his eye. Very humble, very curious. I could listen to him talk forever.

Sir Brian's sentiment about the concept of "meaning" is beautiful.

Brian’s knowing smile. He knows because he’s been there.

Christ he's so intelligent but also incredibly calm it's mental how he can control all those thoughts

Cox is one smart bastard and he's from my City, Manchester. Trust me, there's not many in Manchester.

Who agrees Brian needs to appear more.

Always so refreshing to listen to intelligent conversation.

Brian seems like such a nice guy, I could listen to him talk about anything all day.

I love how he doesn't put down religion he just says this is what we know and it's fun to think about what that could mean. Always an interesting guest.

Brain is truly for humanity, for the truth! Thank you!

I feel priviliged to be able to listen to this. Wonderful conversation.

How can anyone not love Brian Cox , he blows my mind yet intrigues me more and more

Imma big fan of ppl that don’t just shut down ideas or theories

Honestly think brian cox will be respected and loved as much as david attenborough in years to come. Has that charisma about him.

It just blows my mind that we are the universe thinking about itself.

I want him to read me a bedtime story as I go to sleep, and I'm a grown ass man.

If David Attenborough was looking for a wingman,then Brian’s his man.

His voice is so soothing to me even though I don't understand a damn word of what hes saying.

Brian: We’re it. Make the best of it. Joe: I really, really want to believe in aliens.

Bet the other earth don’t have joe rogan podcasts tho

Very good video, informative, thank you.

I could seriously listen to Brian Cox talk science endlessly. And I feel like I retain more of what he says than other prominent scientists.

3:30 love the way brian cox talks and explains this, absolute genius

These are the kinds of conversations I used to have in the office at work, man I miss those days!!

Any intelligent life out there would avoid us like the plague.

When Dr Cox said, only that one thing will live in you, should give us all bliss for the uniqueness of our existence against all odds according to natures laws.

Hyperventilating to the idea that we get to experience life at the slimmest of odds in this unbelievably huge universe. 🤯 Remind yourself this from time to time.

We are so advanced that if you turned off the electricity for 3 months half the population would die.

Gentlemen, and I truly respect you both for your honest, calm, gentle search for and expression of truth and meaning. Awesome conversation to be privy to. 🙏❤️

It feels so comfortable When Brian cox talks about cosmology

This guy is the best guest ever. So humble and insightful.

Joe is really obsessed with that tribe who killed the missionary. He always mentions them.

When he says "suppose that is possible" my mind boggled

I had a "Eureka" moment thinking about this... usually I stop at the thought of if there were other civilizations that had millions of years; they would have found us by now or vice versa, but now I'm thinking of them facing the exact same hardships we have from wars to cataclysmic events. It made me quite sad thinking of a dinosaur-like extinction of humans or even unique biological entities, but we did have several close calls - younger dryas impact (even though we might not have been as fully developed). In that case I believe there could be many civilization that have fallen to ruin throughout the galaxies, AND countless civilizations exactly how we are now.... I wouldn't mind seeing what their art/literature/movies etc... could be like with completely different perspectives in vastly different locations (from their planet to their solar system). This is indeed a stoner thought but I didn't want to forget this because it's the first time I've actually imagined this possibility. I bet there's even more to consider as well

Joe Rogan gets the very best guests. Joe f***ing rocks!

I love how Dr. Cox explains things without sounding condescending liked DeGrasse Tyson

I wish i could have a long conversation with Brian over coffee talking about this stuff

These kinds of conversations and and ideas are what made me fall in love with science

Rogans comparison of our planet to an indigenous tribe is pretty logical

Bored on a Saturday night and I somehow stumbled across one of these clips. I was so fascinated with the conversation I just kept clicking on the next video. I've now watched all of them from this interview and this clip in particular was not just fascinating, but also so inspiring, I actually watched it a second time with my bf. It's so hard to comprehend time and space in those vast numbers and then realizing the freak chances of you being here at this point in time. Mind blown! 🤯 It makes you realize you virtually have no time so you really gotta take responsibility for your life and who you are if you want to have any hope of leaving something positive behind.

I think it's all about stability. If a planet exists in the goldilocks zone for billions of years then there's a chance for an advanced civilisation to arise. But that kind of long term stability may be extremely rare in the universe.

Any alien that had any intelligence would stay as far away from this planet as possible.

I'm still waiting for proof of intelligent life ON EARTH.

This guy is brilliant and such a sweet dude at the same time. No big Egos ( like some of Joe’s previous scientist / physicist.) You can not only tell he love physics / science , but loves teaching you , explaining it to you so you understand and not going over your head . Ladies and gentlemen... this is what you call Class !

3:00 sad thing is,just because of the ridiculous distances involved,us or them will never know.

Enjoying listen to Brian. A good voice to listen to.

Imagine Eddie bravos reaction to this guy saying we landed on the moon 😂😂

Dr. Cox is such a giving scientist. These people can do their thing like thousands of other scientists do theirs - at universities. They come out and speak to the general public. Love it.
