Cosmos: A spacetime odyssey

I enjoyed the story of Newton, I knew what he had achieved etc, but not about his involvement with Hubble etc, that was very interesting.

How did Newton get involved with Hubble?

I am assuming you mean Isaac Newton and Edwin Hubble.

Pardon me for that stupid mistake, I meant Halley.

Considering it's on mainstream TV I've been enjoying the new series, but Neil deGrasse Tyson seems uncomfortable reading from a script to me. I much prefer him being his usual emotional and animated self.

The discussion here from around 45.30 sum it up perfectly

The presenter and delivery is incredibly boring. But I shall stick with it.


Tonight's pushed the humans destroying the planet via carbon quite a bit.

Where do they think all the carbon came from in the first place?

It's a pity when programmes suddenly show a political edge; I was watching a nice programem about Australia when they visited Darwin and suddenly got preoccupied with asylum seekers and how badly the poor things are treated.

I think the problem with having NDG ad-lib is that the series would be 3 times as long and include more digression than a Billy Connelly stand-up routine.

Tonight's one was the global warming one, from the blurb?

I've enjoyed this series, but Sunday's episode got turned off! All the usual MMGW bks made me want to throw things at the TV.
