I’m amazed to see that life still exists here muf! I look in here from time to time, but nothing exists (apart from your latest post here).

"Anyone been watching it?"

Yes! I’ve seen it. Yes! I like it. In particular, its probably Brian Cox’s enthusiasm that held my interest!

Tonight, in the last of the series, Brian described his ‘open mindedness’ by his hopefulness to find life in an extra terrestrial context.

This guy is so good as a ‘presenter’! It’s like he has a smile ‘tattooed’ onto his face. Always a smile! He also survived, with flying colours IMO, a presentation with Jonathan Ross (that was a good gaff)!

However, in the most memorable of the series, he looked like a kid in a sweet shop when he was next to a geyser gushing hot water and steam!

The science was good as well.

"Haven't watched the last one yet(tbh ET is not my thing) but have SKY+ed it"

No need for that, you can see it today (06/04/2010) on BBC 2 at 19:00 hrs. UK summer time. Yes, too many programmes are repeated nowadays (even though we are also given a 30 day BBC i-Player alternative on the ‘puter&rsquo.

However, do you remember my criticism of ice core samples? It turns out that the last prog of the series justifies this. They’ve shown how plankton type organisms can live in ice for thousands of years. They excrete an antifreeze they produce to stop themselves from freezing and exist in a ‘bubble of water’ within the ice. No doubt that they ‘breed’ by some method, perhaps when ‘bubbles of water conjoin’?

ET isn’t my thing either, but there is also the real question of life on an inhospitable planet, with low surface gravity/pressure, at levels below surface where pressures are more considerate for water in its three phases where life of some order could begin and survive.

Best regards, suricat.

muf.

Para 2 of my last post ended with ‘puter’, then I closed the bracket. Non of that other crap in para 2 was posted by me.

I forgot how bad this site is for pasting from Word Pro!

Best regards, suricat.

I suppose that I didn't see anything in the show that I didn't already know but it was still quite entertaining
