Space is big


Caught the BBC2 programme with Professor Brian Cox on Monday night, Wonders of Our Universe.

Thought compelling stuff, made me realise again that I need to poke my head up out of baby world once and a while to see what interesting stuff is going on.  First time I’ve seen one of his programs, he has a really good straight forward way of explaining concepts and genuinely appears to be excited about everything science and space related.

Something fresh amongst all of the one brain cell programs that are out there just now, the concept of Entropy can be a bit scary and depressing given that it highlights there will be an end to everything eventually, but you know what, that end is so far in the future that it really should be seen as interesting rather than scary.

Given what the human race has achieved in it’s short time on this planet there is no reason not to imagine how advanced we can get, given the chance and our own ability to get over land grab wars, religious wars, the list goes on.

When you see how many wonders are out there, and even down in the oceans of our own world it is quite easy to get frustrated and mad over how many lives are wasted over all of these disputes and wars, can you tell it personally frustrates me?

So here’s to the wonders of science and the Universe, may we keep stretching and striving for the future as much as we can!
