Documentary: Quark Science


Started watching a BBC series on Quark Science. The first episode ("Everything and Nothing") was amazing. It goes over how various people through the ages discovered, among many, many other things, the immense size of the universe and how the Big Bang theory came about.

It really highlights how our universe is such a gargantuan, strange, bewildering, and often times surreal place, on the level of a Dali painting. And how intensely clever and diligent the scientists were who discovered the knowledge we have today. And I don't know what's more fascinating--the actual discoveries or how the discoveries were made.

I learned so much from this episode, and am looking forward to watching the rest.

Some of it's available on youtube. The entire series is available through Amazon Prime.

  1. I'll have to check youtube since I don't have Prime. Our universe seems to be rather active lately and the weird part is the things that are being noticed now happened eons ago.
