    Wonders of the universe
    Anyone seen the new Brian Cox set of shows called Wonders of the Universe? What do you think of it?

    I've seen several of those programmes. To be honest, they usually show pretty much the same thing every time they do one of those shows. It's still enjoyable, and it might word things slightly differently, but it's the same sort of text-book knowledge over and over.

    Still worth a watch though.

    I love Cox's kinda creepy cold smile when he's talking about bad things happening to the universe.

    He's all like

    So the sun would expand into a red giant and swallow Earth :bigsmile:

    We're all going to die. :borat:
    Cute.

    Edit: on a more serious note, it's a good series. All of his stuff are good, I reckon

    As long as you aren't expecting ultra-complex physics, then it's definitely enjoyable and informative
