Anyone else watch this? It was pretty interesting, touched on the opposing viewpoints of Bohr and Einstein, as well as explaining entanglement, teleportation and alternate universes in a way lay people could understand.

I know we have some smart physics guys here, did they dumb it down so much they got it all wrong?

NOVA is not exactly for dummies. I have watched this series and found it pretty good.

The bolded is virtually guaranteed when the goal is to explain advanced scientific theories to lay people.

I have worked through a couple books and they were written for boobs like me and I still had to read each sentence like four times.

It depends on whether you are looking at it. Say wha?

No it is a good series and gives a good look at it.

Hey, I just call em as I see em. If they wanted to host their websites on geocities and use an aol email address I'd call them out on it too.Signed,A former flash developer

He is so right about the short sightedness and the opportunity we are losing. Those who celebrate and lift up these know-nothing idiots as thought and societal leaders are truly the worst enemy this nation faces.
