Valid points. I have often thought to myself that series like The Universe and BBC Space are very doomsday-like in their presentations. If you watch
BBC Space for example, there is a whole episode dedicated to doomsday scenario's, and parts of The Universe strike me as being very very
sensationalistic (bordering on scaremongering).
I have seen it said that The Universe is "dumbed down" viewing for the masses. Maybe so, maybe not - I still think it's cool though.
The problem with these kinds of series is that at no point in time, do we ever know everything about everything, so you have to watch these shows with
that in mind. I dont believe that they put these out and expect you to believe it hook, line and sinker, because by definition, what we know today
might change tomorrow, and these program makers know that.
I think, as with everything, you have to watch these things with an open mind and always be ready to question anything you dont understand.
There was a debate on HC's own website regarding the Moon episode from this series and there was a lot of debate about the "facts" put over in the
episode. This is great. That means that people are'nt willing to just take these things at face value just because some scientist (who was probably
hypothesizing in the first place) said it was so.
Bottom line....keep open minds, question everything, but DIG those graphics!!!!!!
