Title Our future is as Martians, says Brian Cox Media name/outlet The Times Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 21/05/19 Description Colonising Mars has long been the stuff of science fiction. Now one of Britain’s most prominent scientists says it may be the only way to save humankind.
Brian Cox, the BBC presenter and professor of particle physics at the University of Manchester, has thrown his weight behind plans such as those of the billionaire Elon Musk to establish a city on the Red Planet.URL https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/our-future-is-as-martians-says-cox-258qx30cx Persons Brian Cox Title Cosmologist Brian Cox on the meaning of life Media name/outlet China Daily Media type Web Country/Territory China Date 20/05/19 Description There's a remarkable moment at the British Consulate in Hong Kong when, ten minutes before physics professor and TV personality Brian Cox is just about to deliver a promotional speech in front of journalists, a man who spends half his life looking for evidence of creation's beginning as long as four billion years ago in the cosmos, looks up at the projection screen and says there's so much light shining through that he can't see. Is there a blind that can be lowered, he asks? No. "Okay, I'll do my best, but you'll just have to come to the show to see these images," he jokes, with his mix of wild-eyed, disciplined-mind, boy wonder-esque persona. Cox is referring to his "stadium cosmology" performance, the Professor Brian Cox Universal World Tour, which will land in Hong Kong on June 5, and also visits Singapore, New Zealand and Australia.
