Watched Episode 2 last night, downloaded Episode 3 today.

Good stuff. Another reason why Murdoch can fuck off from trying to destroy the BBC.

Brian Cox. He was in bands and stuff before he went back to Uni and then on to this and as I think someone said a few days ago, he is one of the few men who could turn me gay! :ask:

He used a bucket of water to illustrate the temperature difference of a litre of water in and out of the shade and then multiplied it up to the scale of a sphere around the sun at his position. It was really well done. The he said - and I loved this.

'That's why I love physics'. It turned a 'cold' calculation into somethign emotional and almost touching.

And some of the images were awesome. It totally made me fall in love with the sun..again
I love you too, my child. Please give me a wave next time you are sunbathing. And, might I say, I do like it when my disciples sunbathe in the nude. I mean, it's not as if I ask a lot in return for all of my bounteous gifts now, is it? :levi:
