The Fabric of the Cosmos: The Illusion Of Time

Roman commented on Nova on 11.21.11
This is pretty much a waste of time. None of that is anything I havent heard many times before and they explain things in such a dubious manner that I think it gives science such a sheen of fairytale dusted glossiness that the general public who doesnt take any real interest in this stuff is going to get a twisted unrealistic sense of what scientists who actually accomplish something do. And then there is this they spend half of the show telling us that we dont understand space and time and barely spend any time explaining why they would say that and what is actually true. They do get around to telling us that movement affects time and what appears to happen far away is, in a spacetime sense, not what we would expect. Then, they set up the perfect example faraway galaxies moving at high speed away from us. But by the time they get to that all they can tell us is that space is expanding, things are pulling apart and we are seeing into the past when we see the light of distant stars and not a single word of the counterintuitive spacetime that they talked about in the beginning of the show. I would have thought they would explain that something nonobvious was happening and how we should really interpret the movements of distant galaxies, but no. They just end the show. Its the same glossed over hypy pap that they throw out every time. science C graphics B b.s. designed to continue funding? A quantity of information or substance per minute F You make scientists look like time wasting dreamers here. Everything was drama and cinematics.
