Science and Religion

Recently, Dr. Brian Cox was invited to take part in a discussion entitled ‘Is Physics The New Religion?’ at Guildford Cathedral. During the discussion, he and the Dean of Guildford Cathedral, The Very Reverend Victor Stock, found they shared a lot of common ground.

As Victor had invited Brian along to his place of work, Brian decided to return the invitation and take Victor on a tour of CERN. The result is one of the most interesting and enlightening podcasts we’ve done so far.

Quentin Wilson

Quentin Wilson is one of Britain’s best-known motoring experts. He presented the BBC’s Top Gear for over a decade before leaving for Channel Five’s rival motoring programme, Fifth Gear.

We invited Quentin to come to CERN because of his interest in engineering, he left with a deeper understanding of the Universe and humanity’s place in it.

Newsround

“If you can’t explain what we’re doing to a 10 year old then you’ve got no chance of explaining it to an adult.” – Brian Cox

BBC’s Newsround, the world’s first tv news programme specifically aimed at kids, has been running since 1972.

Newsround’s presenter Lizo Mzimba came to CERN to do a news item for the programme.
