invited to new york to revive the long stalled talks on scrapping the country's nuclear program but it's just a few days since north and south korean envoys agreed to refer to discussions. at up next legendary queen guitarist and songwriter brian may well it's also sophie shevardnadze about life with the stars and not only working alongside front man freddie mercury but also his other life as an experienced astrophysicist that's coming up next. it's great to have you with us today sir thank you so recently i was going through the class passage and he writes about music and what he said about music except
12:32 pm
it's art it's also true power over nations and cells and then many people say that exactly why music is compared to exact sciences like math. so i never really got that because i finished the conservatory and i always failed my math class now 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. there are mathematical things in music but ironically i think the most important things in musical instruments and things so i don't know quite how that works out except maybe gives you balance but yes i love pure science and i love music and they're not the same sure but. certainly true of history and connections and people who were immersed in both of them you know from going out with every incentive. to patrick moore you know. it
12:33 pm
seems to be that we maybe it's an obstruction thing many 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 these 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 you think it's close to the pure essence of human being at this point you see yourself as a man of science or a man of music. depends on the going on the hour. keep believing but there's a. called richard dawkins there who is a very strong atheist probably had a little kind of argument with him in the hundred minutes because he he kind of i think he thought that he proved there was no good and my feeling is that's not a very scientific answer because if you if you make a pronouncement you have to have evidence so if you say there is no god 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 machine supportable but you know he's
12:34 pm
a very clever man he has a different point of view to me but in my experience i have felt at times that there is a god of some kind i don't subscribe to any religion organized religion by some different matter but if your question is about right there is a god but if there is a god we have very little idea of what that god might be inherent in what we are we have very little understanding or. do you think we're alone out there. it's only opinion i have a strange feeling that maybe we are alone i don't know why this is you know like you you've spoken about the loneliness that you experience after each performance. and so i know because i've spoken to a couple of astronauts something to the moon at for the past readings and they also speak about that fast loneliness that they experience when they're out there in space. sleighs some music in your opinion given that comfort and loneliness.
12:35 pm
oh yeah maybe they do for a moment you know maybe ironically again maybe that's what makes you more aware of loneliness because you clips this clinton into this wonderful togetherness we have people with the universe and the reality is you lose it so maybe that's why many of us why we feel lonely i do feel a lot of love in this but is it a comforting feeling. sort of comforting. but music when you're. for the moment and science when you're in it for the moment it is all encompassing so you're you don't have time to think i was going to ask you that surly or in your life you know it's the bond and. exploration for celebration or was it sex drugs and rock'n'roll but was it for fame money it was never for i mean i don't particularly enjoy fine it was never for money because i was always happy with what i had even if we only had fish fingers. it's just because it was there was exciting
12:36 pm
it was unknown it was a door that you thought you could walk through but that thirty years on you want back to finish your ph d. that you just dropped out from wikipedia that it was unfinished business. it's like you have a circle some place in the circle just doesn't quite. make it right task accomplished but it didn't have to do anything with critical kills to work your parents because you dropped out earlier on in life and maybe they're a little disappointed in you see you went out to work and you know there was a moment you know your stuff and me. and you're my pride was very against it in the beginning because he. i think he saw in my education and the place i'd go to the place that he would have liked to approach and he never got his degree and so it always held him back in his life so he saw me with his fantastic degree in. science and the whole world opening up to me and it looked like i was walking away from him and he found that just impossible to use so yeah he was very upset and we hardly
12:37 pm
told her that i. needed more and. various things happened but eventually he came to see a story. and he said to me i understand there were actually three. and the funny thing was you know he was very curious and all the time i was doing so you know if we 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 interest he just didn't perhaps want to. say that to me but. obviously when you think queen and see you playing next to freddie mercury other 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 another interview say that you still see
12:38 pm
freddie in a strange way can you elaborate on that it's like a family member you lose them you don't quite understand because you take them with me. and we were so long together. so. you get that closeness from somebody if you can be in a creative environment either through framers or into it or even success but in the creative environment you know you learn to to know what somebody else more than thinking you might not always be right but you have a feeling for me and so i still feel better and roger does as well or it particularly it applies more if we working as queen in this room we think i would probably say in your own food. 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. pretty and roger so you know i mean for a while i didn't want to you know i was very near and it was a point you know the grieving process where i just didn't want to talk about we
12:39 pm
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 would to create depression what do you think happens after death after this you will be questions in there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very. confines you know in a way that you know people crawling over a piece of paper has it has a very limited view of the universe i think we also have an image and 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 at the end of your life i don't know. you know one thing is certain you can't use it as an excuse to saying
12:40 pm
ok you know this life is really bad but the next one is going to be ok you know you have to make the best of when you are so i can't not ask you i know that you're in very successful and yet you were on the verge of suicide what stops you at that point of that love of life. yeah i've had very bad depression which a lot of people deal with a certain point what stops you killing yourself. i think what stopped me was the fact that i had children and people who tended to me and people who loved me. and you just think in a sense is a very selfish thing to commute because you make so much may assume 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 was a glimmer of hope but there wasn't that time and now i remember driving and seeing the bridge and thinking i could do this and i just don't know if it would make you
12:41 pm
know i have 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 out more empowered after that concert actually. i think if you do certain kinds of work you come out more empowered and i do i do kind of check my life and check myself into a depression clinic which was actually the best thing i ever did because it was a new. it was my response in your car you know and i had to teach more preconceptions and that would be great me and you. and your energy wasn't instant but it gave me the truth 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 a new start i realised that if i did not deal with it depression i was no use to anybody so it's the same kind of logic is not killing yourself you know. killing
12:42 pm
yourself is really bad for everybody around you but was staying in depression is very bad for everyone around you so it'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 in as a person who can deal with things are going to make you've got all the money you want your educated man you love staring at stars would you consider maybe find the space tourist you know i don't want it being a tourist it's going to be saying you know if i was flying in there was some reason for it in this place i think i would enjoy it more it's like being here. i keep busy in my life and i and it's quite hard for me to take a week off just to come to generate or go and love to marry but there was an excuse to come you know i had work to do i had things which could be achieved and i think that's made me join the sunshine room and it's more the fact that i'm sort of part of the life of the sign and i love the sun in many ways and it's because of the
12:43 pm
world 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 brains so our time for the castrated what do you think what you think could be or is high praise to 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 clean i think apart from wisdom and moments. he has the key of forgiveness for i think saved his country completely from a blog. and i think people the people who run this planet studied under nelson mandela and we would definitely get
12:44 pm
a better planet and i think that would be more than anyone else i think he has the right thank you very much for this interview. welcome to the what makes a big splash in the world of high stakes use just what turns events science into i just cheap products they don't understand oh he which is this guy he followed russian invaders to ease your betters abroad and their feet break through back home smile light on stuff sponsored which update here on. we got the future cover. if you. could take three. three. three. three. two three.
