Ask Brian Cox – live at 1pm
The physicist and presenter of the BBC’s Wonders of the Universe will be answering your questions, 1-2pm Thursday The final instalment of BBC Two’s visually spectacular and spectacularly popular Wonders of the Universe airs on Sunday. Six million people watched the opening episode and it was the first BBC factual show to top the iTunes chart. There have been grumbles, however – about dumbing down, deafening music and an excessive use of soaring scenic shots – which the presenter, Brian Cox, addresses in an interview in Thursday’s G2: “I may have been standing on a mountaintop, but what I was saying was about electro-weak symmetry breaking. Some people can’t see the content for the style.” Nobody would dispute his passion for science and his belief in the importance of passing some of that enthusiasm on to the next generation of young scientists. “Britain is squandering its lead in science and engineering,” he says. “We once led the world, and we can again.” When he’s not presenting television documentaries, Cox works on the Atlas experiment at the Large Hadron Collider . He is a member of the particle physics group at the University of Manchester and a Royal Society University Research Fellow. The professor will be answering your questions about astronomy, particle physics and the Wonders of the Universe between 1 and 2pm on Thursday.
