Brian Cox's Adventures in Space and Time

Some suggest smugness. Another explanation may be that Mr. Cox is so thrilled to know and to be able to share, to teach, his knowing. Knowledge has nothing to do with the length or even the presence of hair but from what lies underneath it. Mr. Cox, and so many other men and women through the ages, have distinct styles of communicating their knowledge. We should all be grateful that they make the concerted efforts that they have by spending the better part of their lifetimes trying to enlighten the rest of us. Maybe, just maybe, their unique methods can empower us to find the ability to share in the joy of knowledge as they do, with a childlike wonder and enthusiasm that we could all be better for. Teaching is a rare and precious gift that too few appreciate while fewer still are any good at. Criticizing a teacher for their passion or their hair? That demonstrates more than this comment allows for. Mr. Cox and his colleagues deserve our thanks on scales that match the timeless concepts which they strive to convey to us.
