Hi Petra;

Y'know, now you come to mention it .. I can't think of any docos I've seen which specifically tackles general Physics, although just about all of them touch on parts of the history of it … .. interesting .. perhaps its just too broad a topic for a TV documentary ?

When it comes to getting a leg up on Astrophysics and Cosmology however, its tough to find anything which comes close to the quality, breadth, (and 'maths-freeness') of Brian Greene's book "The Fabric of the Cosmos". It gets a super-dooper 9.5 out of 10 from me

A week or two spent pouring through this book, and I reckon just about anyone would be pretty well up to date on the bulk of it ! Love to see them make a documentary of this one .. now that would be an awesome one!

Cheers
