Lukeyboy2k Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I know it has gone downhill a bit but this is what's on Horizon tonight if you're interested I really hope they manage to broadcast a watchable program tonight. I think the whole series thus far this year has been pathetic. I normally find myself turning off after half an hour nowadays. I remember watching Horizon when I was a child in the 1980's - those were the glory days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thought Hawkings parting statement was a classic. When asked had he any regrets about his professional career he said he regretted not forming a theory on quantum gravity (or some other sciency jargon) but that if he had it wouldn't have left much for anyone else to do!! Gotta love the cocky bastid!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Very enjoyable, i can't get my head round how people can come up with these theories then spoend much of their waking life trying to prove or disprove them. There was a program on earlier in the year around the same theme, a young professor was the narrator and presenter that was a good watch too. I am looking forward to seeing what happens when they switch on the LHC (?) machine later this year, maybe a theory of everything can be discovered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-K Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Virgin media tv isn't though. right i was under the understanding that if its repeated on virgin media ch4 then surely its repeated on 4 catch up ? If you have freeview or any kind of cable tv then its likely repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-K Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Its a real shame that Gods work will kill him before Stevens work proves God doesn't exist. yeh exactly,i mean he was born not long after einsteins death,. who the hell will replace Stephen ? Altho saying that,there might be someone growing up right now who will replace him,.. or he might live long enough for the cure for his disease to be found,. he might only need another 5 years after all before a cure is found.who knows. ? total immense genius tho.

Lbm Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Its a real shame that Gods work will kill him before Stevens work proves God doesn't exist. Quite- but keep the faith (if you forgive me ) there's one born every now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 was anyone else suprised by the demonstration of the relative distance of the electron from the actual atom? i was gobsmacked. That's what all this research is about at paces like Cern. If everything is made of atoms, yet atoms themselves have huge voids of nothingness inside them, then the vast majority of what we know as space is comprised of nothing at all. or summat.

Pete Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 yeh whats that about ? i mean born in Shrewsbury, speaks with an american accent !! I didn't realise that. June 23 1942, he's getting on a bit. This was interesting. At the celebration of his 65th birthday on January 8, 2007, Hawking announced his plans for a zero-gravity flight in 2007 to prepare for a sub-orbital spaceflight in 2009 on Virgin Galactic's space service. Billionaire Richard Branson pledged to pay all expenses for the flight, costing an estimated $163,100,000. Stephen Hawking's zero-gravity flight of Zero Gravity Corporation, during which he experienced weightlessness eight times, took place on April 26, 2007.

Rob Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 $163,000??? really, it's just a plane with no seats going up and down in a big arc. Edit> $163,100,000! $163million dollars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
