This is probably the best science lecture about our universe and cosmos...I love Neil DeGrasse Tyson a whole lot, but when it comes to being the heir to Carl Sagan's legacy,I think Brian Cox edges out as the best contender...though only beating NDGT by a slim margin. He has that rockstar approach and his passion for science has undoubtedly captivated people like me.I watched all his shows " Wonders of life","Wonders of solar system" "Wonders of the universe", " Human universe". "Human universe " probably his best work till date.
Want to know who we are?What we are ?How old earth and galaxies are? What is galaxy, Supernova,? Watch this lecture. Absolutely an amazing presentation( didn't even use a single note!!!
Btw, in the time since this lecture the Higgs Boson has been confirmed to exist, 4 elements have been added to the periodic table, Einstein's Theory of relativity is now 100 years old and we have detailed pictures of Pluto. Science is indeed the greatest. Science will let us grow beyond the folly of human conceits to true enlightenment.
