- Professor Brian Cox visits some of the most stunning locations on earth to describe how the laws of nature have carved natural wonders across the solar system.
- Professor Brian Cox travels to some of the most amazing places on earth to show and analyze the great natural wonders of the solar system created by the laws of nature.
- In this first episode Brian explores the powerhouse of them all, the sun. In India he witnesses a total solar eclipse-when the link to the light and heat that sustains us is cut off for a few precious minutes.
- In the first section, Brian explores all these energy factories-the sun. In India, within minutes of maintaining our light and heat links cut off, he witnessed the whole process of a total solar eclipse.
- But heat and light are not the only power of the sun over the solar system. In Norway, Brian watches the battle between the sun's wind and earth, as the night sky glows with the northern lights.
- However, light and heat are not the only energy the sun has in the solar system. Brian saw the solar wind fight the earth in Norway, the northern lights in the night sky.
- Beyond earth, the solar wind continues, creating dazzling aurora on other planets. Brian makes contact with Voyager, a probe that has been travelling since its launch 30 years ago. Now 14 billion kilometres away, Voyager has just detected the solar wind is beginning to peter out. But even here we haven't reached the end of the sun's rule.
- Outside the earth, the solar wind also creates gorgeous aurora on other planets. Brian surveyed data from the Voyager probe, which has been flying in the universe for 30 years, 14 billion kilometers from Earth. Voyager just detected that the power of the solar wind has begun to weaken, but even there, we have not escaped the rule of the sun.
- Brian explains how its greatest power, gravity, reaches out for hundreds of billions of kilometres, where the lightest gravitational touch encircles our solar system in a mysterious cloud of comets.
- Brian explains why the sun's powerful energy and gravity can affect hundreds of billions of kilometers. In a mysterious comet cloud, the weakest gravitational influence surrounds our solar system.

- Professor Stephen Hawking, 68, is a theoretical physicist and cosmologist. He studied at the Department of Physics at Oxford University, then did research in Cambridge, and served as a Lucas Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for 30 years. His books include A Brief History of Time (1988), The Universe in a Husk (2001), and Grand Design published this month. Professor Brian Cox, 42, is a physicist and broadcaster. While studying at the University of Manchester, when he was a researcher at the time, he joined the popular group D: Reem, the most famous Labour National Anthem of the 1977 general election, which could only get better. He is a researcher working on the Large Hadron Collider and he hosted the "Miracle of the Solar System" broadcast on the BBC in March this year. The accompanying book will be published next month.
- What is science from your field of research? Do you think everyone should know?
- Stephen Hawking: Science can explain the universe and does not require a creator.
- Brian Cox: This is a wonderfully provocative statement, and in fact it is a beautiful answer. This is interesting because you have used the word God in a similar way before, in my opinion, similar to Einstein. I thought of the word "knowing God's heart" that you used in "A Brief History of Time." In my opinion, Einstein used this word to convey the majesty of God and the charm of the laws of physics. Not only that, he also customized a symbol of religious doctrine. This is a term that you have used before. Do you want to explain my misunderstanding of the word "God" or did I read too much of your answer?
- SH: In "A Brief History of Time" I use "God", just like Einstein's shorthand for the laws of physics. But this is not a god known to everyone, so I don't intend to use this term. The laws of physics can explain the universe without God.
- BC: As for my answer, I think everyone should know some common sense about the universe. It started 13.7 billion years ago. Our sun and solar system formed five billion years ago, in the Milky Way with 200 billion stars, and 100 billion galaxies in the universe. This is a wonderful discovery, and at the same time amazing, we have found our altitude from outside our earth.
- Where and when do you have the best idea?
- SH: As long as I have time to think, any place is fine. I never had a good idea in the morning, usually only after 4pm.
- BC: Let's talk. Actually, my wife thinks this is contrived, but I really just don't want to get up. I don't want to be on a certain day, a certain evening, or a specific time, a specific place. If I have time, I don't do everything together. After that, I will wait for some new ideas and answers to pop up, randomly. If you have time to think about it, this is a real luxury, and it is extremely important if people want to be more prominent in the creative aspect of Kung Fu.
- What distracted you?
- SH: People ask me questions. I can focus on ignoring the others.
- BC: For me, it s TV. If I have more perseverance, I will give myself a limit. When I did my PhD at the University of Hamburg, I only had the German channel and I watched very little time. The most creative time in China.
- What kind of problems do you want scientists to solve by the end of the century?
- SH: Nuclear fusion. It is an inexhaustible source of energy that can provide no pollution or global warming.
- BC: I agree with the view that the provision of clean energy is very important. What disappoints me is that physicists know what to do and how it works. This is an engineering solution that is in our grasp. I don't know why we don't want to see it satisfy, as a society, do you think we invest enough in science education and research?
- SH: I don't think we have invested enough, which is why we cannot be in the Middle Ages. If we invest more, many much-needed goals, such as ways to treat cancer, will be achieved faster.
- BC: I think the most important practical issue. This may be one of the more severe engineering challenges than science. This is to build an economically feasible nuclear fusion power plant. If we don't deal with the strong demand for growing energy by the end of this century, I think the trouble will be more serious. In physics, understanding why gravity has such a large energy is more challenging than the other three natural resources. Sex. Also understand why the universe started in such an orderly state.
- Do you remember the moment when you decided to become a scientist?
- SH: My father was a scientist doing medical research in the tropics, so I always thought I could be a scientist. I think medicine is too vague and imprecise, so I chose physics.
- BC: I always wanted to be, especially an astronomer. I don't remember what I wanted to be.
- What is your most common misunderstanding at work?
- SH: People think I am Simpson in character.
- BC: The most common misconception for me is particle physics. This is the cornerstone of the search for natural resources. It is a luxury that is used to satisfy our curiosity without other mothers. I understand why people have misunderstandings in many areas of modern science, but it promotes progressively flawed views of progress. Great "useful" scientific discoveries--electricity, penicillin, atomic structure, crystals--whatever they mean, are rarely considered useful by the government or society. History tells us that being curious about the universe and letting ourselves explore is by far the best way to discover that eventually it can change our lives.
- Who is your most admired scientist in life and why?
- SH: I admire a lot of dead scientists, but I can't think of a few who are alive. This is probably because it is only afterwards who can see who has made an important contribution.
- BC: I think this is an important point. It's like judging whether you agree with your theory and nature. No matter what measures you use to experiment, this means that there is a lot of delay in award. Let me ask, do you think anyone would like Richard Feynman's great achievements in his life?
- SH: Yes.
- BC: The scientist I admire the most is probably you. You have a world-class science communication and science career combined with science. This is very difficult, but it is very important for great researchers and teachers.
- What keeps you awake at night?
- SH: If I have a question about the universe in my mind, I can't stop when I go to bed, I will think all night.
- BC: Do you still remember them?
- SH: No, I don't remember.
- BC: In the UK, I am concerned about the lack of research funding. I think this stems from a misunderstanding of the value of science and university society. The university system is indeed our economic foundation, not to mention the industry, of which the UK is world-class. Although all research and our economic development will not come from universities, all researchers still do it. In this way, the party government will remember well when it comes to next month's expenditure audit.
- What is the most exciting moment of your career?
- SH: I visited Antarctica in 1997. A group of theoretical physicists flying with the Chilean Air Force on King George Island took off at a research base in the Antarctic Peninsula. I had snow chains on my wheelchair, but they put me on a snowmobile.
- BC: I think it was my early research career. When I really did a few days or months of data analysis from the Hamburg Hera particle accelerator, that was the most exciting time for me. I spent 3 or 4 years researching 24/7, and did nt like it very much. As a science is a successful double-edged sword, it is inevitable that your research time will be shortened, which is why I respect You like people who can wait for balance, and I long to do so.
- Who is your favorite unreal scientist?
- SH: My mother told me and my sister about the story of his professor henbiain and invented something weird. I tried to convince her to write these and other stories.
- BC: I think Ellie Arroway, Jodie Foster's character, has wonderful ideas, but she was created by Karlsa after all.
- What is the most difficult dilemma facing scientific ethics?
- SH: Through genetic engineering, it will soon greatly increase the wisdom and life of a small number of people. They and their offspring may become a race and then ignore social justice. This is unfair. Neandertals are being modernized. Was replaced.
- BC: I think that one of the real challenges of science is how to deal with misconceptions that run counter to the right ideas. This can lead to arguments that harm people. I think the problem of vaccinating children or reducing greenhouse gases must be addressed. Science has clearly seen these issues. It is indeed the best guide. We must face global challenges. The problem is how to persuade minorities. A scientific and reasonable method is not threatened by government or religion. This is The best way. You see the current problem. Of course, this sounds a bit arrogant, but no one thinks it is unreasonable, and we must have the right to achieve results in some important areas.
- Another dilemma is how we can persuade those who oppose a sharp cut in funding for scientific research this fall. I firmly believe that a healthy scientific foundation must have a healthy society and economy. At the same time, we can feel the pleadings in difficult times. Do you think that if we are forced to withdraw because of such a major cut of the European Physical Particle Institute, it will Are the consequences assumed by the UK?
- SH: He will undermine the academic community whose mission is to cultivate the next generation of scientists of the nation.
- BC: How can consumption increase in a region, like physics and cosmology?
- SH: It is important for British industry to maintain high standards of mathematics and physics. We don't have big natural resources. Our success depends on technical capabilities ...
- "Big Design" was written by Stephen Hawking and published by Bantem Publishing for £ 19.88.
- Wonder of the Solar System was written by Brian Cox and published by Collins Press for £ 20.
- Another breakthrough was the discovery by scientists that life on Earth has proven to live in most of its extreme environments. Scientists reasoned that if life could survive and develop in extreme environments, there would be no place to survive. Hawking's understanding of aliens was supported by many other scientists. Recently in the BBC series "The Miracle of the Solar System", Professor Brian Cox expressed support for his theory. Cox believes that Mars, Europa and Titan may be worth exploring.
