    12 particles of matter 4 forces of nature Its a wonderful and significant story
  • The irony of watching a video on a topic this scientifically advanced... on a video in 240p.
  • @doh1959
    brian cox is one of the best things to happen to science for years. he has the rare ability to explain the most complicated subjects in an uncomplicated way. if he taught science in school kids would look forward to his lessons
  • @tareki3odx
    You can tell from his eyes, he loves science and is so passionate about his job
  • Gotta love Brian Cox. The only thing I find more amazing than the physics and engineering here is that these guys actually persuaded politicians to give them all that money for so many years. Now that's genius.

    I like the part where he says "The universe is made of.. twelve particles of matter.. four forces of nature".

    I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Professor Cox this week here in NYC at the New York Academy of Sciences. He was a truly charismatic--full of logic and yet still warmth--sincere and enjoyable person to converse with over what is a truly impressive depth of knowledge he possesses. Great guy!

    I watched this years ago and coming back and watching it again after all the discoveries since and the success of physics and science in general, it really makes me smile.
  • @misinglink15
    These TED talks should really be shown primetime on television.
  • @IFrancyISantosI
    240p.. like TED knew that in 10 years from then, people would watch youtube videos on smartwatches.
  • @jayw.1042
    This machine will play a key role in the apocalypse
  • I swear hearing the way he presents the story of creation made me cry.
  • @MacoveiVlad
    I find it quite fascinating that only 6 year after this talk we've confirmed two of the theories he talks about: the Higgs field and inflation.
