Professor Brian Cox In Death Valley At 115 Degrees Fahrenheit - DeathValleyDazed - 2022-12-28
Eleven years ago Brian Cox stopped by Death Valley National Park during one of his world science tours and selected The Mesquite Sand Dunes to perform a basic physics experiment. It appears he selected a more secluded location on the west side of the dune field towards Stove Pipe Wells to avoid the other many park visitors. Brief cutaways depict Zabriskie Point with Manly Beacon in the background and a north valley perspective from Dante's View out over Furnace Creek.
I hope you all enjoy the video as much as I have even if Professor Cox's calculations and experimental set up may not be exact, they're close enough to make his point in an engaging way.
