Cheers for that. Really interesting stuff.

It's also really good that science is getting onto TV. Ok so Brian dumbed it down a little bit too much on that point, but as one person in the video said, if he hadn't it wouldn't have been on TV.

It reminded me of chemistry at GCSE. We learned about electons and atoms. Then at A level we were told that everything we had learbed at GCSE was wrong and that it actually worked like this. Then at Degree level we were told that everything we had learned at A level was wrong.

In order to make it understandable to us at the age we learnt it some pretty complicated ideas were dumbed down to our level.
