Brian May must hate his guts. Until Cox came along May was the king of the music/astrophysics world...

Anyone catch Sky at Night last night? 700th show. Had Cox, May, Jon Culshaw and the guy who stands in from time to time that looks a bit like Russell Howard. Reliving their favourite moments, most revolving around the moon landings. So gutted we've not been back in my lifetime and probably never will.

Moore, particularly his books inspired me as nipper, the whole moon landing thing was a massive thing in shaping thoughts about how I thought the future might develop. Of course it never worked out as conceived, and I must admit to the odd thought that the conspiracy theorists might have been onto something. |

Although he didn't know for certain, it's believed Moore is the only person to have met the first person to fly a plane (can't remember who it was and Google's being no help), the first person into space (Gagarin) and the first person on the moon (Armstrong) Quite a feat if true especially as the plane guy was way back in the 30s.

Jim Al-Khalili is a bit good as well.
He's a bit more on the mathematical side of things but still gets well stuck in to the surreal stuff. He makes it interesting as well, even though I'm not that interested in maths. (I should not have done A-level maths) I think that what these guys do well is to make it understandable to dumb fucks, while still making it intriguing to those who can think a bit.

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 ?
Because the structure of matter can, indeed will, decay into the chaos of energy, and then eventually that heat energy will evenly distribute itself throughout the universe. It's not going to happen for a fucking long time mind, so I wouldn't worry too much. |

But how can the energy distribute itself throughout the universe if the universe no longer exists? |

I embrace our cold cold inevitable end. That the ever increasing disorder and randomness will eventually lead to the ultimate order of immeasurable unchanging eternity. It turns me on a bit.

A lot of Science is based on bullshit and guesswork......no one really knows...they talk a lot namby pamby and presume they are right. A bit like the rock that is 10 billion years old....i mean that is so easy to fathom out. What they should say is that this rock could be 10 billion years old...but we are talking namby pamby and could have been formed last week  |
