the first time i watched this i thought he was prevaricating to avoid having to answer the question but his answer was so much richer than that

I've got a lot of respect for Brian Cox, but I'm going to force my kids to watch Feynman once they're old enough.

The first half of 'Why does e equal mc squared?' is easily the best popular science I have ever read. Cox breaks down relativity to it's basics in an amazingly concise way over just a hundred or so pages. I think he has an amazing skill for explaining things.

Pisses all over Dawkins who I suppose fills this 'public scientist' role these days.
