Everything And Nothing

Post by Xamonas Chegwé » Tue Mar 29, 2011 3:16 am

I watched episode 2 of this series tonight - a well done programme on exactly what 'nothing' is, involving cosmology and lots of chewy quantum.

Recommended for anyone that can get the BBC iPlayer. :tup:

I'll probably watch the first part tomorrow - cos I'm a rebel like that! :biggrin:

Was good stuff. Better than the omnipresent Cox in my opinion.

Because the BBC are a shower of bastards I'm going to have to find another way to watch this :(
I'll watch it in about 1h2m.

There was more actual content than in the entire Wonders of the Universe series. And much less posing on glaciers.

Finally got around to watching the first one! They rock - and Jim Al-Khalili is a godless heathen! :biggrin:
