NOVA | The Fabric of the Cosmos with Brian Greene (Preview) | Premieres Nov. 2 on PBS

[distractionxx]

Very enjoyable thank you

[knowallcity]

If space is a fabric..then how thin can it be stretched before it breaks?

[jayejayeee]

very interesting video thanks

[willbirful]

some really good stuff here

[tobesograteful]

How is the overall darkness as perceived in the universe connected to humanity--lighten up--seek the Presence of GOD.

[carrela1]

NOVA needs a lot more Brian Greene presence. The Brian Greene in our universe will suffice hahaha

[JBME]

Like the Ever Changing Weather, The Mind and The Universe are One and The Same 'thing' * )

[megamarsvin]

I don't mean to be rude, this is coming from a long time fan of NOVA but I have to say I'm not enjoying the newer series as much. Does everything have to be simplified to these extremes, and filled with "funny" examples?

Sagan did it first of course, but that was pretty mild and interspersed with more complex ideas. These days it seems like everything has to be amusing for the lowest common denominator.

I still respect PBS for putting out original science programming don't get me wrong.

[RPShredow]

@megamarsvin Well of course things have to be dumbed down for, dumb people. I don't really think you should have to be a mathematician or physicist to be into physics. Physics does address and ask some pretty fundamental things about the nature of the world we live in. Easy for me to say, I'm in calculus and calculus based physics.

I think its good to get people interested in science so there is more public support for science education and research. These shows are made for the layman anyway.

[MonkeyIsotope]

I can't see part 1 in their site. Is it because I live in France?

[PBS]

@MonkeyIsotope Yes -- we're not able to make this video available outside the U.S.

[hkpopfan4lif3]

u can see backwards in time if you only you can travel faster than the speed of light...and have one hell of a pair of eyes to see it

[Clarinerd617]

Can't wait for the DVD. I would much prefer something I can watch if the Internet disappears.

[CollateralSmurf]

Quality of this video is better than on their site :/

[bumby40]

"Somewhere there is a duplicate of you and me."

Poppycock! Balderdash! Bosh, Piffle and Twaddle! Tommy Rot! Hogwash! Gibberish! Mumbo Jumbo! Horsefeathers! Flim Flam! Gobbledygook! Flapdoodle! Malarkey!

A very exciting show does not the truth make.

I'm from Missouri. Don't impress me with the imagination of the producers.

This is the same old story in a new digital special effects dress that impresses viewers with smoke and mirrors.

Where's the beef?

It's more like baloney

[KingOfMadCows]

If nothing interacts with this comment, does that mean its wave function will collapse in a parallel universe?

[Clarinerd617]

@KingOfMadCows Yep.

[omma911]

They're trying too hard with all these fancy animations, and special fx. Greene is much cooler without the bells and whistles from the art department.

[bigmouthdogo]

That scene from the bar ("I'm gonna…have what he's having" 0:51) is from Greene's previous special "The Elegant Universe." Not sure what it's doing in the promo for a supposedly brand-new special, but……it did explain quantum states in quite a fun (and understandable?) way so I guess it's cool? :|

[casketgrind]

sounds like all the topics already explained in the two seasons of "through the worm hole"

[brosemary1]

cannot wait ;_; this will be so epic. It' great to see Alex Filipenco(?lol) in it.

I do hope, however, that it's not redundant and explores things that NOVA hasn't already gone over.

[AlwaysAPotterhead]

So going to watch this!

:D

[chupavi89]

I read the book and it was phantastic. Can`t wait till november 2nd.

[RoyalUsher]

This is sooooo exciting! This is the kind of thing that makes me believe in things like Star Trek, Doctor Who and John Carter of Mars! This stuff also strengthens my belief that God is somewhere out there in space! I agree with Michio Kaku that when we peer into the cosmos we are looking into the mind of God.

Might it really be possible--in fact and not in fancy--to venture with John Carter to the Kingdom of Helium on the planet Mars? --Carl Sagan

science-jizzzz

[geffel]

1:26 "our experience of time is of the now..."

Unless you're a tea party member, in which case you're stuck in the dark ages.

[SpanishThug]

Its So Far into The Future I Cant Wait.... Can You Bend Time and Make It Come Quicker.

[maplepoon]

I LOVE PBS :)

[Mikej1592]

I am so looking forward to this show, I can only hope that it can come close to the quality of the old Carl S. shows I grew up watching. I love stuff like this. I love stuff that makes me think in theoretical ways to try and visualize the possibilities that may be there if I just open my mind to infinite takes on reality.

[moorsalin3]

quantum physics is far more complicated than this silly program makes it out to be

the notions it makes are exaggerated

[Caprican28]

@moorsalin3 explain please, I'd like to know more.

[rick3dx]

Awesome ... Will watch!

[sl9guitar]

massive amounts of WANT here...

[cristianfcao]

Is it really necessary this overload of special effects in a science documentary? What about all the speculative physics such as reverse time travel? Isn't what we DO know well in physics interesting enough? I love Nova, The Universe etc. but I really think the US should learn A LOT from the BBC about how to do science documentaries.

Here are some good examples:

[maplepoon]

@cristianfcao Its free so dont complain!

[Caprican28]

@cristianfcao thanks for the links.

[CHAS1422]

A lot of Bull promoted with sexy graphics.

[kn9ioutom]

GOP IS NOT INTO SCIENCE OR ECONOMICS !

[rick3dx]

Dude you are so ignorant, who do you think pays for this programing... the rich people that pays for 90% of the taxes in this country.

[Dash277]

@kn9ioutom TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS SCIENTIFICALLY ECONOMICAL!

[CarlosMarti123]

@kn9ioutom Really?

Most economists are Republican-leaning, and most students who study economics in college or university become Republican-leaning: newyorkfed(.)org/research/staf­f_reports/sr450(.)pdf

[plan101]

beautiful rhetoric within visuals ! 

[golguin]

I need to see more of the extra dimensions.

[jahkoz]

I cannot wait to watch this, this looks amazing..

[uBeR1337gUy]

PBS is the best.

[jmattdai]

Will this be uploaded as well? I wanna watch this! :D

[PBS]

@jmattdai It will be available online for viewing on PBS.org

[jmattdai]

@PBS Thanks! :)

[khunopie]

Nova is good. very very good
