I really enjoyed this series. It was so informative on so many

Sadly, there is a significant shortage in scientific documentaries about space and astronomy. Cosmos is okay but I think people around here don't like it so much because it's appealing to a very wide audience including the children, which means it's quite a dumbed down documentary.

Seems silly you cant enjoy something just because its been simplified alittle.

You should definitely see The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowsky and Connections by... another guy

I also love The Story of Maths

>>8273360
As a chemist, I really enjoyed it even though a lot of it was rather basic stuff. I know fuck all about astrophysics and astronomy though so it was nice to learn a bit about those subjects.

>>8273594
Thanks anon.
I will check it out.

Im not that much into maths though.
Could it still be good for me?

>>8273623
I am glad to see someone else on this board likes it.
Just because it has the meme scientist hosting. It can still be good. ;)

>>8273343
I liked it. /sci/ has a hate boner for pop-sci which is mostly just elitist wank

>>8273714
its one of the things that make you be 'into maths'

Carl Sagan was a double agent and an intellectual fraud. He was well aware of the ET presence but sold out to the coverup, SETI included. This man deserves a posthumous unaward.

I love Niel Degrasse Tyson

i don't care if he's a rapist

>>8273783
>>8273835

oh god, the meme-monkeys are here

>>8273845
I am not a meme-monkey

I agree with OP, Cosmos was great and Niel Degrasse Tyson is awesome

But /sci/ will call him a rapist, so I am pre-emptively saying that I don't care

>>8273853
no one on /sci/ gives a fuck about popsci people, or generally people in divulgation for that matter. even more, they don't give a fuck about SJW nonsense to be throwing "hurr rapist" around.
you're really confused here, and you need to pick your posts better. they're shit.

>>8273858
You seem to have an idealized version of /sci/ that's not real

>>8273343
PBS The Fabric of Cosmos - was more interesting and provided more information pet episode.

I suggest watching it, it's worth your time.

Cosmos.. yea I think it's more worth it for kids, most, if not all the information it presents you can catch from either school or reading scientific curiosities online if it's your passion in less time than actually watching the series.

I would say for someone who already is scientific literate, Cosmos is a waste of time...

>>8273878
you already know about the grudge between Newton and Hook?

about Faraday and Penrose?

about Penny and Lemawitz?

>>8273882
To be honest, yea - the history of struggle science went trough was the novel part... I did not know any of the historical aspects until watching Cosmos.

But again I was never curious about it and without watching Cosmos I would've never even googled about it.

>>8273887
to be honest, yea you're right - I've meant, not that I knew any of that - but it was implied by the rest of the post.

>>8273343
NOVA docs were pretty good

watch the original Cosmos though, some of the stuff is outdated but it is still amazing

>>8273758
When you say i like that, i have to watch it.

Any place to find it? Yt? Torrent? Etc.?

>>8273858
OP here.

What the fuck? Rapist?

>>8275163
And this is the begining...a new meme born...

>>8273343
I've been watching it on Netflix and I'm only 4 episodes in but it is been great to watch so far.

I would definatly recommend it.

ITT: basic bitches.

i didnt see your mom in the thread tho

BOOM, get the fuck out, bitch xD

This. NOVA does a good job at taking vast and complicated subjects and making them understandable for the average person. I would suggest "Universe or Multiverse?". I used this one when I wrote my senior research paper on the Multiverse theory and it gave me several analogies that helped me explain quantum mechanics to a room full of 18 y/o students who almost all did their papers on sports or social issues. I received a 100 on my presentation and a 94 on the paper itself.

>>8275580
Awesome. Thanks!

Yea torrenting is really dying i think.

>>8276263
Nice job anon.

Sounds like something i should definetely check out.

>>8275632
Well you should watch the rest.
Its pretty great i agree.

I know it might be dumbing it down a bit.
But thats also what its about.
As Tyson says:
To hand the torch down, to inspire young minds to persue the unknown. To achieve greater knowledge!
