the big bang day was so anoying i went into my school and everyone was scared and whimpering i just cnt imagine if it went wrong and we all got sucked into a dark powerfull black hole

he is James Blunt twin brother

What Prof Dawkins is to evolution is what Cox is to physics, explaining with clear language and make it fun and exiting

Physics is my religion

Brian Cox is brilliant. He's inspired me to want to becoming a physicist in addition to others. He shows how youth and enthusiasm are within science rather than the negative stereotype of older men grumbling at blackboards. (Apologies to those men, for I highly respect them, I just think they are misunderstood. Richard Feynman for the win!)

hes lips and teeths looks kinda TOO fake..doesnt t?

LHC energies = 14^12 eV Cosmic rays = 10^21 eV Thats 1,400,000,000,000 vs 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 So nature does this experiment in our atmosphere every day but with almost a Billion times more energy. We haven't been gobbled up yet.

Then why don't we just send the detector instead of building a massive halo underground...?

Mark my words, " in ten years time Brian Cox will be as big as Bill Gates but not as rich"

Black holes are not fatal threats, especially if they can really be created under such low energies (that LHC is dealing with). The Black Holes that you have in mind are results of massive stars that went supernova. Since it is not likely that we have a massive star near CERN it's also impossible to think that we can create such black holes that will possibly "eat" the earth. Just because AIDS can kill you doesn't mean that a single RNA strand of HIV is a threat to you...
