Horizon: Tonight on BBC2 at 9pm. Should be good.
Edit:
Interesting stuff. The first 45 minutes tied in nicely with a previous horizon episode that was on a couple of months back- "Is seeing believing". (It demonstrated that only 10% of the information we use to see comes from our eyes)
Liked the idea that reality itself doesn't 'like' being observed doing strange things.
Then I got lost for 5 minutes or so when they said our reality is really at the edge of an event horizon .... Might have to iplayer this when i'm not so tired.

i know what firky's saying... sometimes i want to be baffled by a documentary on a subject that i have some knowledge of, like, i want it to go a step further, but i always forget that everytime i watch one on something i have no prior knowledge of - at those times the simple idea's are enough to get you interested and keep you entertained.
yeah i know what you mean, this one didnt really tell me anything new until it started going on about our universe being 3d information stored on a 2d event horizon and i was like shhhheeeiiiiiit. ..

Not yet.
Found it ok, most of the stuff's already been covered in other documentaries over the past year, apart from the new light system for measuring the graininess of space. I thought the narrator/script was trying to make everything a wee bit too mysterious.
LOLed at the smoke machine/liquid nitrogen they used for the quantum computing room to make it look more high tech. And then they switched on the lights.
