Brian Cox – Pop Star Physicist

You guys know how cool Brian Cox, is, right? You’ve surely seen his incredible Ted Talks. This one is my favorite:

But have you seen his turn as a nineties BritPop star? Because that’s one of the most important things about him TO ME.

Here is the video for “Things Can Only Get Better” by D-Ream, including Brian Cox (with an unfortunately severe haircut) on keyboard.

Here is a Top of the Pops performance where Dr. Cox has much better hair and style, but the song is pretty much unbearable.

 

You’re welcome, world.

BOHEMIAN GRAVITY!

This is a great scientific spin on Bohemian Rhapsody with great editing, great musicality, great science, and great wordplay! Thank you, A Capella Science! I am in awe of your ability to not only explain complicated physics, but to do so in rhyme (and in key).

This is on my playlist. That’s how great it is.
