Can We Make A Star On Earth?
Brian Cox is Groovy Physicist! He has a Mustang convertible, he has groovy arty direction, he has blackboards and chalk, he has a cosy Northern accent, he worked with Danny Boyle, he talks to the masses about physics!
Last night his new documentary was broadcast on BBC2, Can We Make A Star On Earth which was an exploration of fusion and it's potential as an energy source. And he did it in a very enjoyable way, playing the dumb citizen when talking to other Professors so that they explain things, and not just babble maths. Including a tour inside the new Korean KSTAR reactor and a tour around the remarkable Z Machine.I liked it: entertaining and physics. Worth a watch on the iPlayer if you missed it and are in the UK.
