What We Still Don't Know is infinitely better than this lowest com denom bs
Re: BBC - Prof Brian Cox: Wonders Of The Universe
I find it a bit un-nerving that people don't want to push themselves or want more.

Re: BBC - Prof Brian Cox: Wonders Of The Universe
then watch what we still don't know. it's 3 episodes
Re: BBC - Prof Brian Cox: Wonders Of The Universe
It often comes with maturity and age. It's a bit unfair to generalise in this way as most people I know and associate with tend to want to improve themselves and learn more.firky wrote:I find it a bit un-nerving that people don't want to push themselves or want more.
Some of the material in this show is stuff that a lot of people won't have studied for years, and It's always going to be basic when targeted at a mass audience.

Re: BBC - Prof Brian Cox: Wonders Of The Universe
i think i saw this m-theory one a few years ago and liked it
Re: BBC - Prof Brian Cox: Wonders Of The Universe
I can obviously only speak for myself but I think a bit of an unfair representation. I personally watch this as more of an entertainment show. If it teaches me something, then brilliant. And it has, for that matter. A lot of it I already know but there's bits and pieces which are really interesting. The main thing that makes this better than a lot of stuff is that it doesn't get too bogged down with complex maths that might stop it from being entertaining and inspiring.firky wrote:I find it a bit un-nerving that people don't want to push themselves or want more.
That said, if I want to learn I'll go and read a book or look up some serious scientific lectures on the net.

Watched the final one of this series last night, I was a bit baked but I thoroughly enjoyed it. By far the strongest one of the series.

Re: BBC - Prof Brian Cox: Wonders Of The Universe
it's alright, he doesnt explain things very well though, everything and nothing was much better, shame they only did two.

Re: BBC - Prof Brian Cox: Wonders Of The Universe
this was exceptionally poor, i found the explanation/comparison with mountain ranges utterly confusing and pointlessfirky wrote:Did anyone think the one on Gravity was pony? This series has been weaker than the last but this episode was really bad. If anyone watching needs the basic principles of gravity taught to them, then why are they even watching the show or up at 9pm?
watch Michio Kaku's lectures on youtube, he is great
Re: BBC - Prof Brian Cox: Wonders Of The Universe
Deamonds, ever read Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku?
It hasn't dumbed anything down, but it is readable and covers loads of interesting topics.
Highly recommend it.

The chapter about psychokinesis was so engrossing.
