Should be an interesting watch to see what they have come up with.

[rocketandroll]

Thanks for the heads up on that.... that's definitely going on record :-)

Thanks for that link, i'll try and tape it.

[dwc]

Thanks, almost missed that.

[saturn5]

Cheers for that,be interesting to see what the latest is on this subject.

[Macavity]

...one of the most dramatic scientific announcements for a generation.

Not quite how I'd see it. But interesting anyway...

[Ender Of Days]

Il be recording it,but its not a clear cut as a discovery as the media let us to believe,

still,as long as its not the usual "the whole of science is wrong" type horizon

JJ..

[Stevo]

Sky+ set and ready to go.

Thanks

Ah good, I was just coming on to post that this programme was on, good to see we are all on the ball.

[ncjunk]

Doh!...i forgot....run!

[ncjunk]

Great program, i enjoyed that...fancy a slice of bread no though.

[brantuk]

Hmmm.... neutrinos and tachyons travelling faster than light - so the italians say - and light can't travel through bread? Well I knew that already with a torch and a loaf lol

[Macavity]

He lost me with the... accelerated (quantised) pace of discussion re. potential for texting lottery numbers into the past? Wasn't sure why his confederate "girlfriend" had to be traveling near the speed of light... or something???

I LIKED the way the "Pollyanna Professor" [teasing] stressed that the OPERA group had carefully considered their results etc. There wasn't too much emphasis on the "nobber" (poppycock even?) stuff... so beloved of the BBC.

I did vaguely wonder how our "Italian friends" managed to turn off into their

underground lab. The potential for traffic jams, sub-terranian collisions...

[sbooder]

The neutrino joke was good.

[Shibby]

Yes it was

The barman said "Sorry we don't serve neutrinos in here."

A neutrino walks into a bar...

Was a good and interesting programme, which was quite surprising given how quickly it must have been put together!

[hemihaggis]

knock knock ....,

nutrino .....

...whos there .....

Programme was very interesting to watch although they still can't help themselves filming these long scenic shots, especially the one of him standing on the giants causeway throwing stones into the sea - a little bit "coxy" to me. The story of electricity is still the one to watch as it just gets on with it.

Any of the series with Jim Al-khalili are good, I love the presenting style of both him and Adam Rutherford, as you say they just get on with it. Shock and Awe is just the latest in a line of brilliant Science programmes presented by one of them, along with Cell, Atom, The Gene Story and others.
