Conversing with Brian Cox can, in all truth, make you immediately regret the moment you eschewed science when selecting your A-levels. The measured rate in which he speaks provides consideration and care to myriad complex topics – black holes, principles of physics, the deep mystery of time – in an engaging manner that your year eight teacher could never quite master, elegantly layering every explanation with wonkish terminology the way in which a synth-pop band coats its arrangements with different stylings.
