  1. Do you mean thermodynamics, and have you seen his QM docu that ALSO defines vacuum energy and virtual particles in detail, including explaining experiments that have demonstrated their existence? The one that shows the deal is they ALL pop out and then ANNIHILATE, because you always have to pay back the energy you borrow? Curvature of the Universe as now measured says goes on forever, but scientist would be happy to entertain further data that show otherwise.

  2. Privitives poison everything, and far more subtly than Religion.

  3.  @qumpania  I see competence, not arrogance. But, I am able to admit there are people so far beyond me in their field that I cherish their contributions even if they have quirks. Cox also has much more musical experience.

  4. In an OPEN system, little goblin. In a small, defined CLOSED system, energy streaming into it can cause areas of reduced entropy. You know, photosynthesis from suns, which are the result of gravity and fundamental particles producing free energy by means of fusion? And, it's a good thing or you wouldn't be here.

  5. That's why the world has Chemical Engineers and Chemical Thermodynamicists who DO.

  6. One of great Al-Khalili docus that don't insult the viewer with "Lies We Tell From Children". Another example of why US documentaries are shite, and nothing but simplistic cartoons afraid to admit there are a lot of furriners who did the heavy lifting so US scientists could look out from sitting on their shoulders.
