Ask HN: Interviewing Brian Cox in an hour. Any questions from here?

from the ask-hn dept.

As the title suggest, interviewing Brian Cox as part of his new shows that are coming to the UK.

Anything that you've always wanted to ask Brian Cox, or indeed anyone of his ilk?

Is string theory science?

Some scientists argue that “if a theory is sufficiently elegant and explanatory, it need not be tested experimentally”. Where does prof. Cox stand on this issue?

I also thought some good questions would be in the realm of human exploration. i.e. with the ever increasing capabilities of machines to do a vast bulk of the exploration - where do humans fit in now, and in 50years?

In this vein ^, what are his thoughts on Von Neumann probes?
