http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Brian_Cox.jpg/200px-Brian_Cox.jpgPart of me wants to hate his fucking smug face and young good looks (Jesus christ he's 43, I think I remember Fred Elliot being that old, no offence Fred but you never looked that good). I might want to hate him, but I don't. I think it's because he's really good at getting across his enthusiasm without being patronising. I've had my fair of geeky astronomy science background shit all the way up to some spacey-physics modules at university (before I dropped out), and instead of being "well yeah, I knew that", I'm so much more happy when my vague knowledge of what I remember about the universe matches up with what he's telling me. Anyway, enough of my slightly gay crush. Wonders of the Universe has started off brilliantly tonight, if you missed it watch it on iplayer. If you never watched Wonders of the Solar System buy/download/shoplift it, because that was fucking amazing too.

He was on the front of the radio times this week. I hate anyone who is on the front of the radio times.

Yes.
Loads of people do. You wouldnt believe how many radio times we get in on a monday night, especially something which seems to redundant.

I never watched Wonders of the Solar System (I caught little bits and pieces), but I did watch last night. I'll definitely have to give Wonders of the Solar System a proper go.
Being the uber geek that I am, I bloody love all this space/time/sciency stuff.

I find his delivery a bit 'thought for the day'. A bit 'I was walking down the street this morning and got attacked by a dwarf with a haddock and I thought, isn't that a bit like life.... that haddock was a bit like jesus and should we accept that haddock into our life?'
Well I know what Im talking about.

I can't stand him - no particular standout reason, he just irritates me - and he is definitely NOT as good looking as people seem to suggest he is. Or at all, in fact. Just creepy.

And I don't see how they can say that the universe will end up as nothing. How can matter just disapear. Wouldn't all the debris left clump together with gravity & then the whole process satrt again ?
