I'm sure next weeks show will be amazing, can't wait.
I thought the programme was great, it was very detailed and accurate. I expecially liked those massive lasers that blew up the little micro chip thing.
Umm there's two theories to the expanding thingy.
That as the universe is expanding, so are atoms and therefore so is everything.
If everything is expanding though at the same rate, there is no way possible to detect any kind of measurement.
Ah well, theory two.
That everything is expanding, and that it's slowing down too, and may eventually start contracting again until another 'big bang' will happen. This is being discovered because of the 'Red Shift', and is more likely, but is very hard to record because of the very slow time of change.
It won't start contracting for millions upon millions of years yet, so there is no need to start panicing yet.
Give it a few days first.

I thought it was too repetitive to be interesting. How many times did he tell us everything needed for life came from the stars. OK, I heard you the first time. Use the time to give us some more interesting details!
On the alien life thingy, I once read a quote that summed it up in a Daniel C. Dennett book (Darwin's Dangerous Idea is a truly mind-opening book if you ever get the chance). It went something like:
If there is life elsewhere in the universe, the implications are staggering. If there is not life elsewhere in the universe, the implications are staggering. There are no 'ho-hum' truths in cosmology.

true,
what i want to know is scientists keep saying the universe is expanding but what exactly is it expanding into ( ? )

I forgot to watch this but it is the perfect way to discuss the possibilities of alien life.
If we did not come from the earth then the bible is wrong and we can stop hiding behind this very nice cover story of a mistical person creating everyting.
The fact that caught my attention was in the film contact:
"If only one solar sytem in a million has planets around its sun and only one in a million of those systems had a planet that could support life and if only one in a million of those planets had intelligent life then there are millions of inteligent species out there" (not a direct quote just made up from memory).
So could we be decendents of another race who were wiped out by a supper nova or another celistrial event?

I didn't like it.
I think it was just a way for the BBC to get rid of some money: use high tech graphics, and photography; and an actor who has no real knowledge of the subject anyway.
And it was full of presumptions (much like Walking With Dinosaurs), and no groundbreaking facts that I didn't learn in Key Stage 2 Science. There was too much potential there to cover in 1/2 hour, and it skimmed over everything ever so poorly and quickly.
I felt disappointed.
And IF life came on a comet, how did it get on the comet in the first placce???
The program was like, hey the comet came, life was created, simple as that. Too vague, people.
Anyone else feel this way?

The Universe, one of the greatest mysteries and untapped future excitement, and Sam Neil made it dull.
