Not only is he the Queen guitarist

Pretty good vocalist, too.

and he wrote music that helped Flash Gordon save the Universe

They should really specify ‘The band Queen’

Read the title as “Queen’s brain may help…” which puzzled me I must say

sizzler ,

Read the title as “Queen Brian” and simply thought “about time”

It's a given since he got his Sir Brian title from King Charles :p

late 20th Century swing quartet

Kowowow ,

Ya brian didn’t make sense I guess so it was just subliminally swapping it for brain and I thought the title was referring to queen elizabeth’s brain

Which would have only been slightly weirder than the guitarist from the band Queen helping.

He’s such a legend, this included, but I’ll never be able to forget the story about his catastrophic arse failure

Nice to see him make good use of his degree. I always thought it was cool that there are two major British bands- Queen and Dare- with Astrophysicists in them.

SpaceNoodle ,

I’d hesitate to call Dare “major.”

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, they’re not Queen, but they charted.

SpaceNoodle ,

A cursory search, which I ran before I commented, didn’t reveal that fact for me.

Mere charting isn’t a great measure, though, since plenty of ephemeral trash has done so as well.

can ,

Would I know any of their songs?

SpaceNoodle ,

No.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I have no idea. This is the song I think of when I think of Dare. I also have to say, I’m not a big fan of Dare.

Astrophysicist and public science educator Brian Cox is playing keyboards.

can ,

Guess not

@theodewere@kbin.social avatar

it's simple enough.. Dare were major and Queen were positively astronomical, mate..

UniquesNotUseful ,

Brian Cox was also in d:Ream.

American but E from the eels, his dad came up with the Many Worlds Interpretation

There's an episode of Nova where E talks about his dad and his tragic life. It's one of my favorites

Corngood ,

There’s actually a BBC doc about it too, which I thought was good:

In October 2006, May re-registered for his doctorate at Imperial College, and he submitted his thesis in August 2007

the revised thesis (titled “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud”)[1] was approved in September 2007, some 37 years after it had been commenced

In 2020, he participated in the team that contributed the stereography images of numerical simulations of asteroid disruptions and re-accumulations in a publication in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications

It actually sounds like he’s pretty busy with the science these days.

Admittedly, I haven’t been paying close attention to Brian May’s physics career.
