10 Best Science Based Joe Rogan Experience Guests

10. Brian Cox – Episode 1233

Brian Cox is Britain's answer to Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's become the face of modern physics in the UK, popularising the learning of complex scientific concepts for the layperson.

Trying to wrap your mind around the sheer vastness of space is akin to trying to fathom why people would vote for Donald Trump. It's a tedious and scary exercise to undertake but one that's probably useful to understand. Brian Cox is the man to lead you through this concept, (the vastness of space... , not even Cox could figure out why people voted for Trump).

His softly spoken delivery feels like you're being fed science facts on a spoon of sugar from Mary Poppins. You can tell a guest has plenty of interesting stuff to say when Joe Rogan stays silent for the majority of the interview. And, this is one of his longer interviews...

It's a unique feeling emerging from this particular two-and-a-half-hour scientific conversation. Mostly you're aware that maybe 2% of what was said vaguely made sense to you, but nevertheless it doesn't feel like you've wasted your time.
