Just finished viewing his Teaching Company course "Understanding the Universe". Thinking about doing an instant replay, it was that good. Really changes your perspective on things, for the better. Alex is a real inspiration.

Hi ! This might seem lame to a computer language expert,(all I can do is read book language) but, what does CGI and P and D stand for ?

@k9a2g6 Agreed, but I must say CGI really helps with that message :P Totally addicted to "The Universe" series :D Alex Filippenko is a great talker!

We need more viewers, watching reality(science - nature) in order to understand our planet ! Knowledge is the only way to move ahead, to change, and to live your life,as the best way that you can, living without Greed is natural, and good for human societies.
