They could tell you anything and you would believe it, wait till you find out it’s all nonsense, will you be able to fight the cognitive dissonance I know you’re going to experience, will you be able to be honest with yourself with an open mind when presented with evidence and an obvious proof and just obvious common sense, the real world laughs in the faces of these physicists of self proclaimed know it all’s Science isn’t what Brian says it is, there’s not one practical demonstration using tangible substances for ANY of the claims that the earth is a spinning ball in a vacuum, even Einstein said there’s not one observational experiment that can show the earth is in motion, water doesn’t conform to the exterior of shapes and objects, water has to be contained, once contained the surface will always be a level line, water is used in construction to find plumb and level, water doesn’t have the capability to support sheer stress, it’s called the horizon for a reason, horizontal, and the oceans are known as sea level, level doesn’t mean a curved line, in the real world level is a straight line, no experiment can show a gas pressure like our atmosphere existing next to a vacuum without equilibrium taking place, both have to be contained and can only exist side by side whilst both are contained, the globe is being shown for the scam it is

At 41:00 Dr. Cox talks about a particle that is theorized to exist in the Higgs field, and in the spirit of Feynman they'd have to go and look for it, in order for their theory to hold. As we now know, about a year later, Cox and all the amazing scientists at CERN discovered just that - the Higgs particle, effectively proving that the science was solid all along.

I've always had a problem with that diagram. As soon as the mirrors move, the light bounces away and you can no longer measure it between the mirrors. You know if you shine a light at a mirror and you change the angle of the mirror, the light goes off in a new direction and not back to it's source. Light will not follow the mirrors as they travel.

@djtbone001a 3 жыл бұрын

I have the same problem with the diagram of gravity. If mass bends space, it would do that in 3 dimensions, not 2. Therefore you can't diagram gravity by warping space in a 2 dimensional plane.

@Gootsffrida 3 жыл бұрын

DJ TBOne You are completely correct. The models and diagrams that you see involving a 2d representation of gravity is just for the sake of explanation for the masses. It’s very easy to understand and relate to. Essentially what is happening in the 2d model is what’s happening in 3D space.

The analogies that Brian Cox presents are definitely one of the easiest ones to grasp. I've been interested in astrophysics and astronomy for 8 years now, and there are concepts which are so hard to grasp.. Like the expanding universe. The raisins in the bread analogy just made it really CLICK for me, and suddenly my mind could grasp and visualize what actually happening RIGHT NOW. When he said that I literally laughed until I cried, because something clicked in my head and I knew I finally really understood it for the first time.. I'll go out on a limb and say Brian Cox is an equal caliber of educator and science-presenter as Richard Feynman was.
