He's right at 13:00, science should be part of popular culture, but it takes someone like himself and/or Neil deGrasse Tyson (in the US) to make science palatable to the masses. Both of these guys are natural TV personalities; entertaining and capable of translating technical language into plain English. We just need a few more of these guys.

@judithmctablet6486 4 жыл бұрын

Its a conundrum for sure. Scientists tend not to be very camera ready or extraverted... and i doubt we can do much about that. I think though that the 'citizen science' presenters online could step up to the plate a little more. Or maybe do more interviews with actual scientists online. For example Joe Scott who is by no means a scientist does a really good job at raising topics for discussion.

@sherlockholmeslives.1605 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply, Adam! Brian May ( b.1947 ) like Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson ( b.1958 ) has been claimed to be a polymath. Some pop / rock brains! Bruce Dickinson is a heavy metal singer and songwriter, airline pilot, record producer, author, television presenter and has been or still is one of the world's best competitive fencers. He is a businessman too and is if all this isn't enough, a devoted family man! WOW! He achieved 3 A-Levels from school in History, English and Economics. I thought Brian Harold May had a PhD in astrophysics and an MA in mathematics. I think he has achieved 12 O-Levels and I think, 4 A-Levels! He has written the songs Hammer to Fall, Tie Your Mother Down and Fat Bottomed Girls for the rock group Queen. You may already know this but each of the original band members of Queen had a degree. Paul Simon ( b.1941 ) and Art Garfunkel ( b.1941 ) are exceptionally clever too! Paul Fredrick Simon has a degree in English literature, studied law at university, and whether IQ is nonsense or not, has an IQ of 155! As well as writing the poem / song The Sound of Silence' among other masterpieces. Arthur Garfunkel studied architecture, has a BA in art history and an MA in mathematics. He is an avid reader and bibliophile and is an established singer, poet and actor. Jim Morrison ( 1943 - 1971 ) had an IQ of 140 and was a very well read person who loved strange and unusual literature, as well as being a poet. And despite the name, the band members of The Zombies were all college or university students, I think, one if I am right? becoming or training to be a medical doctor? With Best Wishes! Cheers - Mike.

Just for fun, Adam! To put pretty much every single brain who has ever lived into perspective, although he is NOT a pop or rock star, consider - Professor, John von Neumann ( 28 December, 1903 - 8 February, 1957 ) Hungarian-American, Jewish Pure and Applied Mathematician, Physicist, Inventor, Computer Scientist and Polymath. He made major contributions to a number of different fields including - MATHEMATICS Foundations of Mathematics, Functional Analysis, Ergodic Theory, Geometry, Topology and Numerical Analysis. PHYSICS Quantum Mechanics, Hydrodynamics and Quantum Statistical Mechanics. ECONOMICS Game Theory COMPUTING von Neumann Architecture, Linear Programming, Self Replicating Machines and Stochastic Computing STATISTICS He was a Translator, Polyglot, Chemist, Amateur Historian and Mathematical Prodigy who at the age of 8 could divide two-8 digits numbers in his head, and was fluent in Ancient Greek! Cheers - Mike.

A true scientist is one who both accepts criticism and is able to convey facts with backing (and argument) from colleagues. Brian Cox is one of the many good science communicators of our age who has shown amazing resilience and understand of science. I think Carl Sagan and his contemporaries did an awesome job in bringing out the modern science communicator for our benefit and for the advancement of science. I look forward to future generations who will benefit from Brian and lead the future of this great endeavour.

There is a point, however, that is rarely discussed. If, by exceeding the speed of light you manage to actually reverse time (the theory), there is a single instant in that acceleration where you would actually encounter a stop in time which, should you survive the trip (and be excluded from the pause), would confuse you because cause and effect is how we perceive time.
