The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of.

NOVA four-part miniseries The Fabric of the Cosmos The information is rather dated. However, if you have lived under a rock or in a closet, it becomes mind-numbingly brilliant. The presentation is split into four sections with information that overlaps with the other presentation sections. You could not ask for a better presenter than Brian Green; you would almost think he was born in this cosmos. Yes, you may think you already know it all, and yes, he speculates on the future that is our past; however, some ideas were overlooked by your philosophy, and tell what you may already know in a different light or angle. The presentation is packaged in the familiar NOVA (6225) and PBS (dot) org from which makes it intriguing and palatable for just about every viewer. A few shortcuts are made to keep the presentation time down, so you have to take a few leaps and miss a few details. These can be filled in later when you figure out what to read about. The bottom line is that your view of reality will be irretrievably changed.
