Brian Cox Talks About LHC
jewel May 1st, 2008
Phil Plait, over at BadAstronomy, linked to this yesterday. I watched it twice, absolutely enthralled. It’s a video of a talk Brian Cox (physicist extraordinaire) gave at the TED conference in February of this year regarding the new Large Hadron Collider. It’s a must see.
Let’s see, what to say about Brian Cox…well, he’s British – I don’t know what it is about the accent, but it’s damn sexy – also, he’s brilliant and a physicist. I happen to have a bit of a weakness for brilliance and when that brilliance comes in a young, good looking, British package….well. But I digress.
He is also a very natural speaker and you can easily see the wonder in his eyes and hear it in his voice as he speaks about his work. It’s good stuff. In this video, Brian Cox talks about LHC and his work with it and what amazingly neat things that we could discover once the collider gets switched on. It’s pretty neat stuff. But don’t take my word for it, watch for yourself.
