Brian Edward Cox (3 March 1968) is an English physicist, and Advanced Fellow of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester.
And on some of those planets, the oxygen, which had been created in that first generation of stars, could fuse with hydrogen to form water, liquid water on the surface. Brian Cox

There are many other things. You've heard many of the big problems in particle physics. One of them you heard about: dark matter, dark energy. Brian Cox

If that picture's true, then we have to discover those Higgs particles at the LHC. If it's not true — because it's quite a convoluted mechanism, although it's the simplest we've been able to think of. Brian Cox

The analogy is that these people in a room are the Higgs particles. Now when a particle moves through the universe, it can interact with these Higgs particles. Brian Cox

I've been a little disingenuous, because I've expanded it out in all its gory detail. This equation, though, allows you to calculate everything — other than gravity — that happens in the universe. Brian Cox

One of the wonderful things, actually, I find, is that we've discovered any of them, when you realize how tiny they are. Brian Cox

It's almost like ... imagine a snowflake in your hand, and you look at it, and it's an incredibly complicated, beautiful object. Brian Cox

Actually, if you just look at your thumbnail — about a square centimeter — there are something like 60 billion neutrinos per second from the sun, passing through every square centimeter of your body. But you don't feel them, because the weak force is corr Brian Cox

But, without it, the sun wouldn't shine. And when the sun shines, you get copious quantities of these things, called neutrinos, pouring out. Brian Cox

The ultimate paradox, of course, is that even though we're all going to die, we've all got to live in the meantime… Brian Cox
