  1. I don't think quantum mechanics understands me either. Perhaps we're not suited.

  2. Well he explained the roundness of the Earth as a function of gravity. That's an explanation not a description.

  3. He is reflecting the sun

  4. Does it matter? He can explain the Universe.

  5. spiro. Did you not read the comments? I'm not going to repeat myself.

  6. He's a bit shy it seems, and that can make someone look a bit untrustworthy but he's actually a very genuine guy.

  7. spiro. It's not a scientific hypothesis. I think it's now an accepted fact but not everyone may know the cause of the roundness of the Earth. He explains how the pressure of gravity compresses the Earth into a round shape. Did you want him to quote a scientific formula for it? I'm sure you can consult a text book if you want more details about the physics of it. It wouldn't make very entertaining TV though.

  8. spiro I like the way you address me as Sherlock and Einstein. I like both of them. There's really no need you know.

  9. spiro I'm not a scientist but I'd say gravity exerts force. As you're so clever why don't you explain it to everyone.

  10. spiro NASA defines gravity as a force. Are you saying they are wrong and you are right? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=is+gravity+a+force&oq=is+gravity+a&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.4737j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8. I see that Newton and Einstein disagree about whether gravity is a force. I'm certainly not the one to arbitrate on that one. We just need to know what the theories are, if we're interested.

  11. Br Ru. I was taking into accounts comments of people who had met him. He is a professor who teaches students. Just to balance the "creeped me out" opinion as that may be a judgement from just seeing him on camera.

  12. David Sun. How do you know that? You sound a bit arrogant to say that. Why are you watching it then?

  13. But what is the definition of a particle? How does it relate to atoms?
