Hello New Zealand :-)

@EhVahChahYah Five disciplines that underpin large sectors of the economy from the creative sector to science.

This is indeed a superb letter from The Astronomer Royal of Scotland. “Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why.” I agree - my colleagues in particle physics have also tried, without success, to discover who owns the decision to damage physics research in the UK, perhaps irreparably, at a time when our economy desperately needs the skills and knowledge we develop and teach. @UKRI_News need to get a grip urgently and fix the problem someone, somewhere, has created.

[Lucien Heurtier @LucienHeurtier]

I couldn't say it better than the Astronomer Royal of Scotland, in her letter to Nature.

"...whoever made this decision failed to foresee the disastrous and damaging repercussions for UK science and the economy."

@amba_moxie It’s going to be released in a few weeks …. :-)

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

@rwerkh Yes. The answer was known in the ‘80s.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

Living the rock and roll dream explaining quantum mechanics with a Keytar in Perth. Only two shows left in Australia now - Adelaide and Brisbane this week - then off to New Zealand …

@JensKrabbe1 Thank you!

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

@craig_linaker Yes - just about to begin writing something … I know that’s a bit cryptic …. :-)

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

@galacticpedia Yep !

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

@GregJBell Thank you :-)

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

20 minutes to next Starship launch ….

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Watch Starship's twelfth flight test https://t.co/wxna6dy4Lh

@AndyLxNen So if we collaborate on a paper then I can lower mine :-)

I’ve got a Bacon-Erdös-Sabbath number of 13 :-) https://t.co/LNjeIulAaz

[Phil Metzger @DrPhiltill]

She’s one of the few people who has a legitimate Bacon-Erdös-Sabbath number. Stephen Hawking is another person who has it.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

@ISSAboveYou @dazzatronus @sen @liamkennedy It was great fun - I got confused because I couldn’t see whether or not it was actually live in the show because the real time clock wasn’t on the screen :-)

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

@Adam_Phillips87 Thank you! I hope you enjoyed part 2 !

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

@jeffcafe_ I don’t think they are persuasive at all - which is a shame - I would be delighted if our civilisation were part of a galactic community!

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

My first Emergence show in Melbourne - this bit is me explaining why my guess is that we are the only civilisation in the Milky Way … although I would be delighted and relieved to be wrong :-)

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

@borisyeltzin No

@knolloz I’m in Brisbane on the 30th but I’m not sure there are any tickets left …
