Professor Brian Cox at Shenkman Arts Center

Why see Professor Brian Cox?

Brian Cox goes Universal

Prepare for a cosmic adventure as renowned British Physicist Professor Brian Cox touches down on our shores for this much-anticipated world tour, where he'll be illuminating audiences on the nature of our solar system in his inimitable, affable style.  Joined by comedian and fellow Infinite Monkey Cage podcast host Robin Ince he'll examine the latest in space exploration and scientific discovery. Using state of the art technology and big screen projections of spectacular visions of our universe will accompany Cox, who will answer some of life's biggest questions with his trademark wit and charm!

First tasting the limelight as the keyboardist in Brit-Pop band D:REAM, Cox remerged in the public eye as a particle physicist and won great acclaim for his television shows, including Wonders of the Universe, Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of Life. Since then he has become an intergral part of popular science in the vein of Carl Sagan, Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye.

If you've never heard of Brian Cox, he is the U.K. version of America's Neil deGrasse Tyson. Anyone who has seen Prof. Cox will appreciate his enthusiasm for science (not just his own fields of physics and astronomy but a variety of topics) and ability to translate the hard stuff into digestible and entertaining fodder for us regular folks (non-STEM PHD trilobites like me). On YouTube, search for his WONDERS BBC TV show or various interviews (check out Joe Rogan Podcasts # 610 or 1233). He brings his friend and Comedian along to lighten the mood every so often. I've read alternating complaints that his shows were too dry or the comedy took away from the "flow" of the science, so I think bringing his buddy along was a good "middle of the road" approach for the masses ...

A mind blowing experience! Professor Brian Cox was stimulating and had the genius and talent to explain, (to even the rank amateurs such as myself), so many extraordinary discoveries in a forthright somewhat understandable way. Bravo! 👏👏👏👏 ... Read more
