… well .. we're waiting !! .. Bring it on, I say !!
 
I have never had any problem with Physics !!
They didn't explain what they meant in the first episode. With the exception of the temperature measurement in the desert, his 'experiments' made pretty weak points. They could've written some better stuff and stuck that into his script. Their point is much clearer in this episode.
… err … not !!
What is this fascination some folk have around here with counting views, posts, etc ? It means zip to me ! Content and clarity rules, (for me).
??? LesD ???
What about Travolta etc, etc, etc ???

Ya had fun with that post of mine didn't ya
Why, it's almost like I broke it down into specific paragraphs so it can come back and bite me
.
Lucky for me I enjoy a laugh.
Travolta?
*clear throat* Ahemm, you had to bring that up too didn't ya
. But.. but.. but.. Brian is on-line active, where as Travolta is Hollywood royalty and not so much within reach. So maybe I might have a better chance.
What do you think of this post on his facebook wall:
Brian, your show is a hot topic of discussion at the moment on "Ice in Space" - the largest amateur astronomy forum in the southern hemisphere. Are you able to spare some time and join us for an on-line chat session sometime soon?
Maybe I'll ask some astronomy people as well on how to contact him.
I watched the second episode tonight and loved it. Enjoyed it even more than the first one. Some really basic things that I should have known (not saying what they are either
, I learned tonight. Very interesting his demonstration on how Saturn's rings shine so brilliantly, (by travelling to the arctic it looked like?) and breaking off a piece of ice and holding it up to the sunlight, wow
and then he said that they keep on shining because the ice rocks in the rings keep on colliding with each other so they never lose their luminosity.
I love all the travelling he does in this series. It's like Leyland Bros meets the Universe
.
And one thing I realised tonight why I'm learning so much from this show- he talks slow and pauses plenty (whilst playing with dessert sand or jumping through giza's or drawing planetary orbits in the ground around a camp fire), so it allows me time to digest the information. Shelley has a point (when she said "calming"), It is very relaxing watching all that beautiful scenery while he slowly and gently talks.
Also, really enjoyed segment on the star, Polaris. While sitting under the Milky Way, he shows us exactly where it is and explains its significance alongside the importance of the Earth's axis tilt. This is the first time I've seen Polaris in the night sky amongst the other stars, it was quite awesome for me.
