Brian Cox is an esteemed British physicist and professor of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. Known for his work on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland, Cox has contributed significantly to the study of particle physics and has been involved in research on the fundamental particles that shape our universe.

Born in Oldham, Lancashire, Cox's passion for science was evident from an early age. He pursued physics at the University of Manchester, where he later completed his Ph.D. in high-energy particle physics. His research has focused on exploring the conditions of the early universe, a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, through experiments at the LHC.

Beyond his academic and research achievements, Brian Cox is also a renowned science communicator, bringing complex scientific concepts to the public through television, radio, and written works. He has presented several popular science programs for the BBC, including "Wonders of the Universe" and "Wonders of the Solar System," which have made him one of the most recognizable faces of science in the UK and beyond.

Cox's ability to explain the wonders of the cosmos with clarity and enthusiasm has earned him numerous awards for science communication. He continues to inspire a new generation of scientists and enthusiasts through his lectures, television appearances, and books on physics and cosmology.

The longer I live and the more I learn, the more I realise the only solution to our problems is ourselves. We as people have to stop stealing, stop littering, stop being wasteful, stop neglecting or apathetically abandoning our duties etc Like it or not, the world is a reflection of ourselves. It’s made on the back of our bad choices

Hence why a 3rd of the world's population is still struggling with hunger

Humans need to work together to stop the destruction of this planet and other life, whether animal or human, simply because they're "other" before we can consider taking any steps to colonize other worlds. At this time, I don't think we have the maturity to do this. Nor do we deserve another planet if we can't take care of the beautiful gem we have!

It says a lot that we even have this conversation in a serious way. So much intelligence and to be so irrational with it. The problems are here, solve them and maybe that'll be a sign that we're wise enough to go to Mars. If we were wise, we would not be thinking of colonizing anything and would be busy with worthwhile projects that directly improve life on earth, for everything. That's what we all really want, and we've given up on it when going to mars sounds good.

Sorry Earthlings but planet trashing is not allowed.

We should focus on earth, because it is a perfectly good planet to live on, so let's not destroy it

Rest of the universe has to keep an eye on and shield itself from us until we sort it one way or another

You can’t fix stupid and the same problems will follow us to Mars. But we would have a better chance of surviving ourselves for a little while longer.

Humans are so terribly flawed, as are our political and economic systems. Just look at the U.S., where the two major political parties have been at "war" with each other for decades, and major issues never get resolved. And capitalism I'm not against, but American capitalism is brutal, with many working multiple jobs to survive, while others have hundreds of billions of dollars. Again, nothing wrong with capitalism in and of itself, but the way it operates through a given set of laws and regulations, especially tax laws, really determines its outcome in a particular place. The U.S. needs significant reform, but it's nearly impossible.

I traveled around Iceland and I visited the obiggd the uninhabited interior of Iceland. I visited a place called Sprengisandur an arctic desert that looks remarkably similar to Mars. Standing there I realised that we will never settle Mars. We probably are going to build a research station or two but no large scale settlements. Iceland has been in habitat for more than a thousand years, there are settlements in every direction around the coast. But in all that time no one has settled this place. No one lives here and no one wants to live here.But unlike Mars you can breathe the air, the soil is not poisonous, there is no deadly radiation raining down from the sky, winter is warmer than the warmest summer on Mars and you can drive here in a Jeep. There is a reason we don’t live in places like this on earth and that is the same reason why we won’t live on Mars.

There's no fucking air there.

I think humans aren't responsible enough to handle the amounts of energy and logistic and even assemble the material resources required to conquer space. We would have to carve so much out of planets. It would be ok maybe in lifeless planets, but I fear the cost on ours would be too much. OUr planet is precious and very fragile.

I think we should also consider what it looks like when it doesn't destroy itself, but rather it wounds itself to the point of being deeply disfunctional while still carrying on.

I see us destroying each other before any human sets foot on Mars...

You could live on Mars, but you'd be living in a tin can for your whole life, and who wants to do that?

What is stopping us is resources, technology and economics.

Like everything else on this planet.. The only ones who'd have the mean$ to save themselves, are the ones whose mean$ come from destroying everyone else.

Yeh that kinda sums up human beings pretty well in my opinion. Maybe I'm just a bit pessimistic though.
