re: Who watches Cosmos? If you don't, I think you should at least try it.

Good show but... and this is a weird complaint... he's spending too much time talking about Earthly stuff, in my opinion. I don't remember Sagan's version doing this. I'm sure it will move on to space travel, black holes, supernova, etc. eventually.

I like that it does that... we know so much more about both space and earthly stuff now than we did back then... it's all part of our realm.. I love learning about stuff "out there" as well as stuff "right here".

SPOILER ALERT


Like the fact that a atom is the size of a huge church, but it's nucleus is the size of a grain of dust and the rest is just space... I never knew that...

Most people view an atom like this


Instead, you need to think of the protons and neutrons as a grain of dust... and the electrons as the big church surrounding it...

Lots of wasted space there.
