Anyone Watch "The Universe" on the History Channel?

Fucking phenomenal show. It has a ton of information but isn't so advanced that the average person couldn't understand it. Middle of the second season right now but you can get the videos on iTunes or just buy the first on DVD. I highly recommned it to anyone who has an interest in space and such.

Just downloaded and watched the episode on how the Earth will end. Pretty fucking freaky and makes you feel real small in the grand scheme of things.

I think i saw an episode a little while ago. Highly interesting but often too much to really get a grip on it if you know what i mean. Its just too weird, too much to "understand" it.

Excellent show, and I agree, it's presented so that us (meaning me) non highly scientific minds can wrap around and understand the concepts.
I have really been enjoying it and would also give it a couple thumbs up.

Check it out

Good program. I usually watch it on TIVO after the ballgames and news programs are over when the only thing on the schedule is infomercials.

There are a few episodes that just fuck me up. The end of the universe scenarios are just mind boggling. Just to think of time and everything else as we know it ceasing to exist. Even the end of the planet which is inevitable is scary.

I know what you mean Dirty F, some of the episodes are just too much to really get into. I've kind of picked and choosed which topics I'm interested in and watched it. Probably not for everybody, but I'm a nerd when it comes to that stuff.

I love that series! I have a good bit of them on DVD, thanks to a kickass loder.

Get ready for the Milky Way/Andromeda collision, beeches!

After watching them, you realize that not only does energy and matter essentially get recycled on Earth, but it pretty much happens everywhere in the Universe. Nature loves patterns.

When I think about the recycling patterns of nature, the Big Bang theory starts to not make as much sense. The Universe and time created because an infinitely dense point in space exploded? I don't know, but with all the cyclic patterns around us, it just doesn't seem to fit. Here is an alternate theory to the big bang, it seems to fit a little better.

I love that show! One of my all time favorites!

I'm seriously addicted to it.

I am still with the big bang.

I am still with the big bang.

Me too. I still don't get what was before the big bang.

I am still with the big bang.

Hehe... The only bad thing about the whole situation, is that we will most likely never know for sure, in our lifetime.

Cyclic Patterns and Big Bang Theory are not mutually exclusive.

The way I, personally, conceptualize the whole thing involves a potentially infinite number of Big Bangs going back and forward into history. I'm sure I'm not the only one of that mind.
