If he is muslim, it should be mentioned. 87.101.224.234 ( talk) 04:19, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Regarding the issue of whether I am a Muslim or not, my religious beliefs are private. In fact, I am not a Muslim. My father is, and my mother is a practicing Christian. I am an atheist. But I do not feel this is something that needs to be common knowledge on my wikipedia page.
Jim Al-Khalili Phs1ja ( talk) 13:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
WOW is that really you Prof.? I'm really honored. I'm a hug fan of you. I'm a 26 years old Iraqi Electrical Enginerr, I work in Saudi Arabia. Its a great honor to meet you online 77.30.26.97 ( talk) 06:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Wikipidians can argue till the cows come home about these few words- the fact of the matter is that as a result of watching "chemistry" on bbci and coming to this resource to find out more, I, a two times Physics drop out from the '80s, have been inspired to go back to Physics and chemistry using the web resources of Prof Al-Khalili and others and begin again the journey of exploration for myself - from a school chemistry technician. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.158.54 ( talk) 11:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Prof Al-Khalili is speaking on BBC Radio Four as I type. I thought his first choice of music, She's Not There, was particularly appropriate for a theoretical physicist!
Worth of mention in the main article? R L Lacchin (Gloucester, UK) ( talk) 11:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
What a bizarre outburst! I'd never heard of the man until I switched on the radio and heard him speak. If it's not appropriate, please feel free to say so, but keep things in proportion! (I see someone has added it anyway.) R L Lacchin (Gloucester, UK) ( talk) 11:52, 15 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.240.163.101 ( talk)
I should probably mention at this stage a mild conflict of interest, in that my 11-year-old brother's best friend is the professor's nephew... is that important enough to be considered COI? Yes? No? Whatever. Right. OK. My point is, should we include ISBN numbers for Prof Al-Khalili's books as generally useful information, or remove them as being tantamount to advertisement? I've not been as active on Wikipedia as I used to be, so I'm out of touch with the relevant rules/policies/whatever.-- Vox Humana 8' 01:22, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Does he know Arabic?-- Aa2-2004 ( talk) 15:14, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
The section on science broadcasting could add details of the programme which he has began to present on BBC Four on electricity. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 21:23, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Mr. Sad Dick sometimes is a simpleton (at the BBC atom documentary). Study deeper the probability theory. Particles are related probabilistic phenomena which are continuous in space, but their probabilistic density is harmoniously quantized. Harmony means least common multiple, but because of the renormalization deviations do occur in some cases. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:410A:F300:D88F:F089:47F1:5C81 ( talk • contribs) 08:14, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 ( talk) 10:26, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
There appears to be an editing glitch regarding the programme "The Life Scientific".
The first reference gives the correct year (2011) and features the first programme with Paul Nurse, the second states date to be the same as a preceding one of 2012. Can these be tidied as a single correctly-dated reference? Thanks PhysicistQuery ( talk) 23:53, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
