I did watch it. I nearly fell asleep. Not sure about that episode, I did try to follow it.

I was looking for this in the TV/Film/Radio forum lastnight. I liked it, some interesting stuff I didn't know (no CF in Nigeria) and I liked the format.

No but they get sickle-cell anaemia instead IIRC.

Reminded me of the early TG, but for science obviously.

[Gene Vincent]

Dare I watch or will the screen be shattered... hmmm, I'll watch and just get angry.

"In 60 billion years time galaxies could be flying apart faster than the speed of light" !!!!!!!
On what basis?
If I had a theory of something and developed a mathematical model which predicted something like that I wouldn't want to admit it.

[jmorgan]

This is more like it. Can stay awake for this one.

The thing is the universe must have expanded faster than the speed of light 13.75 billion years yet the visible radius of the Universe is 46 billion light years so if the speed of light is the speed limit for expansion where did the extra 33 billion years worth of space come from?

No, the Cosmos is expanding faster that C right now.

This is the 'inflationary period'.

The 46bn ly radius is all filled with light, but as it is expanding faster than light (as in faster than times arrow) we cannot see it and as the Cosmos is already expanding faster than light bits of the Cosmos that are emitting light are falling off of our view horizon.

I can't stand the smug tt but tried to watch last night's programme. I made about ten minutes.
Dire. Not for me thanks.

[Gene Vincent]

Heads up... tonight at 9pm 'space' the final frontera.

[jmorgan]

Interesting, sort of. Not overly enamoured but the studio sound was driving me nuts. Studio direction must have had a five year old at the tiller.

The astranomony bits were ok.

Dr. Molly Crockett.

Don't forget, it's Dara O Briain, the comedian [u]and graduate in mathematical physics[/u]
Y'man is not just a funny face!

Yup, also Helen Czerski has fantastic legs IMO.

Anyway, I'm enjoying the current series especially the in studio events.

Few "interesting" camera angles for Helen tonight....

If Helen says "semiconductor nano crystals" one more time, i'm going to have a crisis........ ;-)
