through the glass became a passage and he writes about music and what he said about music is that except it's art it's also true power over nations and himself and then many people say that exactly why music is compared to exact sciences like mass. so i never really got that because i finished kind of conservatory and i always failed my math class you as a man of music and science can tell me how music is related with science or exact science like math for example it's a hard question. obviously there are mathematical things in music but ironically i think the most important things are improving instinctive things so i don't know quite how that works out except maybe he was your parents but yes i love pure science and i love music and they're not the same sure that. certainly throughout history there has been connections and people whom were

immersed in both of them you know from the united have been seen through. to patrick moore you know. it seems to be that we maybe it's an obstruction being maybe people who like these things don't like the clutter of the world don't want the complications of the world that we live in you know the pieces of stuff they just like to find the essence of life so maybe pure science is in some way close to the essence of nature and music is close to the pure essence of human being at this point do you see yourself as a man of science or a man of music. depends on the grain our. keep believing but there's a. and called richard dawkins there who is a very strong atheist probably had a little kind of argument with him in a hundred minutes because he he kind of i think he felt that he proved there was no good and my feeling is that some of the very scientific answer to me because if you if you make a pronouncement you have to have evidence so if you say there is no good where is

the evidence there is no good you can say i don't know you know being an agnostic to me is a scientific point of view which is supportable but you know he's a very clever man he has a different point of view i mean but in my experience i have felt at times that there is a god of some calling i don't subscribe to any religion organized religion that's a different matter but if your question is about good right there's a god but if there is a god we have very little idea of what that god might be that's inherent in what we are we have very little understanding of do you think we're alone not there. it's only opinion i have a strange feeling that maybe we aren't i don't know why this is you know but you're talking about there lonely nights that you experience after each performance. and so i know because i've spoken to a couple of astronauts something to them at for the past three days and they also speak of that past loneliness that they experience there out there in space. so.

in your opinion gave you that comfort and loneliness. oh yeah maybe they do for a moment you know maybe ironically again maybe that's what makes you more aware of life because you clint's this country deeply instance wonderful. togetherness we people are with the universe and then the reality is you lose it so maybe that's why many of us why we feel lonely i do feel a lot of loneliness but is it a comforting feeling. it's not comforting but music when you're. for the moment in science when you're in it for the moment it is all encompassing so yeah you don't have time to think i was going to ask that it's earlier in your life you know it's the bond and. exploration for a celebration was it sex drugs and rock'n'roll but was it for fame money it was never for fame because i don't particularly enjoy flying it was never for money

because i was always happy with what i had even if we only had fun spring because. it's just because it. was exciting it was unknown it was a door that you thought you could walk through that thirty years on you want back to finish your ph to that huge drop out problem like you that it was unfinished business. and like you have a circle someplace in the circle just doesn't quite. make it right task accomplished but it didn't have to do anything with going to kills towards your parents because it dropped out earlier on in life maybe they're a little disappointed in you you went off to work and you know there was a moment you know your stuff for me. and yeah my dad was very against it in the beginning because he. i think he saw in my education and the price i got to the place that he would have liked to grow up to he never got his degree and so it always held him back in his life so he saw me with his fantastic degree in you know

in science and the whole world opening up to me and it looked like i was walking away from it when he found that just impossible to use so yeah he was very upset and we hardly tools for a little while and. various things happened but eventually he came to see us for and. he said to me i understand that and we're here for you. and the funny thing was you know he was very curious to stuff all the time i was doing starting off with queen he was drawing little maps and charts of how the record sales. you know when you know he was following with great detail what i was doing so he was always kind of into it he just didn't perhaps want to. say that to me. obviously when you think queen and see you playing next to freddie mercury all those great hits come to my mind and then understand that when you reach that level of success with someone you definitely have a special bond you form

a special bond and i've heard you in other interview say that you still see freddie in a strange way can you elaborate on that it's like a family member you lose them but you don't quite understand because we've been here. and we were so long together. so. you get that closeness from somebody particularly in a creative environment either through framers or computer or even success but in the creative environment you you learn to to know what somebody else more than thinking you might not always be right but you have a feeling for them and so i still feel that and roger does as well or it particularly it applies more if we work in a screenwriter and we think i would for the story and you are for the human service . you know he's part of the creative process because he's part of what we are because we really chiseled this thing out all together and me and george pretty and roger so i mean for a while i didn't want to you know i was very you know. it was

a point of a grieving process where i just didn't want to talk about or you didn't want to feel that it was very very new except it's history. sort of got through that and now i regard it as part of my life which will never go away and it shouldn't go away because it's part of what i worked to create pressure what do you think happens after death after death you will be questions in there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very. florence you know in a way that you know people crawling over a piece of paper has a very limited view of the universe so i think we also have limits and you know so this existence that we know maybe just a very small part of the whole picture you know and i'm excited to think that maybe so. i'm not counting on it because maybe maybe in your life i

don't know. you know one thing is certain you can't use it as an excuse to saying ok you know his life is ready the next one is going to be ok you know you have to make the best of what you are so i can't i'm not asking. him very successful and yet you were on the verge of so. what stops you at that point for fear of death or love of life. yeah i've had very bad depression which a lot of people deal with at certain points what's killing yourself. i think what stopped me was different but i had children and people who depended on me and people who love me. and you just think in their innocence is a very selfish thing accuser preaches you make so much from a sinner you do terrible things to the people around you and i would have you know my children. and maybe i would like to tell you that there was

a glimmer of hope but there wasn't a time i remember driving and seeing the bridge and thinking i could do this but i just it would make you know i had to somehow. discover what was going on and. yeah it would be a bad thing to do because of the people around me and you come up more empowered after that it's you actually. i think if you do certain kinds of work you come out more empowered and i do kind of chuck my life in and checked myself into a depression clinic which was actually the best thing i ever did because it was a mute. it's my response in your car you know and i had to teach my preconceptions that were there for me great me and. my new energy here was an instant but it gave me the tools to deal with life in a slightly different way i think you have to get to the point where you throw everything away. because that's the only way you can make it. i realized that if i

did not deal with depression i was no use to anybody so it's the same kind of logic is not killing yourself you know. killing yourself is really bad for everybody around you but with the staying in depression is very bad for want to use there's no use struggling and trying to keep doing what you've been doing the whole time because it's it's going to be the same thing you know you have to somehow get outside. and trust that you can come back you know as a person who can deal with things if you make me that all the money you want here an educated man you love staring at stars would you consider maybe flying as a space tourist you know i don't like being a tourist it's funny that you say that you know if i was flying in there was some reason for going into space i think i would enjoy it more it's like being here. i keep busy in my life and it's quite hard for me to take a week off just to come to generate or go i love to do it but there was an excuse to come here i had work to do i had things which could be achieved and i think

that's made me and joy the sunshine and and it's more the fact that i'm sort of part of the life of the sign and i love the sign in many ways and it's because of the really it's not because of being a tourist so you know if there was some reason to go into space if i thought it would. stop people torturing animals. but i would enjoy it have you spoken to some of the brilliant brain cells our times for the past three days what do you think what you think could be or is high placed in the twenty first century the high priest of the twenty first boy oh boy boy oh. maybe nelson mandela. because he has a very important team i think apart from wisdom and knowledge. he has the key of forgiveness which i think saved his country completely from

a blood clot. in people the people who run this planet studied under nelson mandela and we would definitely get a better planet so i think that would be more than anyone else i think he has the key right me thank you very much for this interview. wealthy british style. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars report on
