He has an incredibly good handle on physics all the while being amazingly good at explaining how stuff works.

The melon is smart and grows close to the ground for this very reason. If humans did not tame them they potentially could have become the apex predators.

"A melon...doesn't bounce." Sexiest line ever ;D

Our every second of live is surrounded by the law of physics. That's quite magnificent!😁

Brain Cox you are my real professor I Love you sir

These videos are great. Thanks BBC!!

Useful and exciting

It's almost like his main point got cut off.

Sir does how is a feather and a stone thrown in vaccum reach bottom at the same time.

He forgot to mention the grape also undergoes elastic deformation hence why it bounces and the water melon cannot because it’s brittle.

His wife: You are cleaning that mess up Brian!!!

0:40 the outcome was so impredictable...rip melon

*Drops watermelon* Brian Cox's Game of throne moment

Wondering his Videos 🤯

can that be explained by momentum transfer.. since grape has less mass so it will apply less force on earth and in reverse grape will experience less force from earth and for melon , has greater mass so as it touches the earth it will apply a greater force and will experience greater force from earth and it is enough to break the melon..

I wonder why humanity has not been able to harness gravity?

oh no! that's the adhesive forces which holds them together?

I wish he was my physic teacher

All good but the force b/w water molecules and your finger is rather adhesive than cohesive..

I feel sorry for the melon. It was so juicy and attractive :( The beetle however was enjoyable to watch, beautifully bouncing...

that was an amazing explanation although all's I heard was words!

Scientists might say that they save lives but he should have given the melon to my hungry belly

2:25 I spot an Australian flag. Have a nice day and ciao for now

1:09 "The grape falls a bit slower than the melon" I'd have thought the WATERMELON would fall a bit slower, as it has larger surface area and therefore generates more air resistance. Was this a cox-up?

ай 🙀 бедный бедный арбузик типерь ему крышка 😶

is it newton's law of gravity of particles attracting each other or Einstein's gravity law of mass bending space time? is weight then caused by mass or gravity caused by mass bending space?

Power of gravity = mg(v_{z0}+gt)

What a waste... People in Africa could have ate that piece of paper. All joking aside, stop with the easy and redundant comment. The amount of food wasted per year in America and other countries around the world is mind blowing. And to say that the melon was wasted is true but no, someone from whatever third world country couldn't have ate it. The cost of shipping it outweighs the worth of the fruit by an insane amount. Your better off giving donations to a non profit charity that sends seed packets and instructions on farming/care.

So... I wonder what the significance of he carefully framed Australian flag in the background is?

What about density or weight?

The next Attenborough

Is it just me or does this physicist look like a titan from attack on titan?

i waiting for moment of falling elephant

No such thing as pull. Things move by applying pressure.

Such a waste of a good melon xd I would of ate it if there was no floor bacteria

Watermelon was a paid actor.

Yoooo

Isaac Newton - perhaps the greatest scientist who has ever lived. He discovered the existence of gravity. He is remembered prominently to this day in a memorial at westminster abbey. Sir Isaac Newton said "this most beautiful system of sun, planets and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. This Being governs all things not as the soul of the world but as Lord over all and on account of His dominion He is wont to be called Lord God".

He proved density!

I know mathematicians who are convinced the universe is, essentially, mathematical in nature. Here we have a physicist who is convinced life is subject to our laws of physics. The massive in-depth knowledge we get from specialisation is incredibly valuable but the danger is thinking their specialisation is the be all and end all. Mathematics and physics are amongst our attempts to explain what we are witnessing. Whilst what we are witnessing may not change, our understanding of it probably will. So far it has been constantly changing and it's presumptuous to assume we know it all now. I'm thoroughly impressed with Brian's enthusiasm and wonder and it would be greater still if he got hold of the right end of the stick. What these creatures are doing informs our physics, not the other way round.

FREEMASON TV ACTOR

the paper doesn't fall because paper is lighter than water. Hold the paper vertical and the paper falls since air is under it not water. Density is observable gravity isn't. Electro magnetic forces are not causes. They are math equations to describe the innate uncaused need of matter to find equillibrium.

Wasting food?

actually if gravity were true according to newton, then all falling bodies would also cause earth to slightly move in space even if so small. This has never been observed. Gravity is a myth made up to prove mathematical consistency. Gravity isn't a force. Objects vibrating at specific densities simply merge to their associative density in quantized non curved space times.

Waste of a good watermelon

What a waste of food. :P

So gravity isn't a force, it's an effect based in pseudo 4d geometry fallaciously using time as a dimension. Thanks... welcome to flat earth

he's just wasting foog

Galiywas wrong, we.have been wrong for 400 years, everything does NOT fall at the same rate

foloow Yeet_Splodes lol ya

Density and buoyancy, no need for gravity!

grafaty on earth is a lie

If the force of gravity really is pulling the grape down, it shouldn't bounce...

(gravity) the theory that's never been proven! thing's fall through different mediums, depending on their relative density to each other. air and water are both fluids, only ones a gas and the other a liquid, objects fall down onto a motionless plane at 9.82m\s2 because they are simply heavier than the air surrounding them. this is just the rate things fall through that perticular medium. a helium balloon will fall upwards because it's more boyant than the air surrounding it. drop a rock into a lake, it will sink because it's heavier than the water surrounding it. drop a cork into the lake, it will float because it's more boyant than the water surrounding it. this is why birds,... insects,... smoke,... air_balloons,... arn't effected!.... this is also the reason whales,... big sharks,... cruise liners,... don't get sucked down onto the seabed,... because ( gravity) doesn't exist! the earth has no curvature! .... the earth isn't moving!... the vacuum of space is a hoax!

Everything created by God. Before create human. God says u won't find any mistakes in my creation. God is great . Human knowledge is nonsense.

That watermelon could have gone to people who needed it
