Fabric of the Cosmos premieres tonight

[pokerfan]

Fabric of the Cosmos, starring theoretical physicist Brian Greene, premieres tonight on NOVA (with further episodes airing November 9, 16 and 23). The 4-part miniseries based on Greene’s latest book of the same name is a remarkable journey into the jarring world of theoretical physics.

6. Having read the book...

I wonder if the program will be full of the same excuses as the book.

7. WTF!

I don't know if this happened everywhere, but our new Nova mini-series got off to a bad start. The first 20 minutes was about dogs. Then suddenly switched to the Fabric of the Universe in progress. As far as I'm concerned the entire program was ruined.

9. It aired without interruption here

Check your listings because Nova tends to repeat (a lot). Or you can watch it online at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/fabric-of-cosmos.html#fabric-space
