Cosmos Delight with Brian Cox

Only One can reveal the wonders of the heavens - and it's not God.The truth about where we all came from and where we are going is far more amazing than any made-up bible story. Born of a dying star billions of years ago! Better than any garden of Eden run by a glory-seeking God, who banishes those who break the rules.

The Prof, Brian Cox, was explaining the cosmos to us again last night. Genius with a Manchester accent. Get a glimmer of what he is saying and amazement and awe don't come close. He fires you up, far more than any Sunday sermon.

Only one :"You're losing me Brian" moment. All to do with quarks, which turn out to be "exotic stars made up of quark or strange matter." Does that sound like someone you know.? Exactly. Electrifying! But the best bit of all is that, although everything, and that really is everything, is made of the same stuff, we are the only things that know it. Little, weak, silly us. We alone have understanding. Is that not the most uplifting thing ever?
