I want to see this again!

years late, i'm commenting on how fun this was to watch-NOVA is usually very good in this respect, and did not disappoint on this one.

The Lithgow narration was somehow spot-on, maybe from remembering him in that cheesy 80's sci-fi/teen flick Manhattan Project, about a kid who steals some radioactive material and builds a primitive nuclear bomb.

Anyway, i was pleasantly surprised by all the insights into the atomic world-and the way the program seemed to make it easier to understand than usual.

Often, especially reading A Brief History of Time, I admit my head is swimming and i have no real reference to understand of what Mr Hawking is speaking.(Wow-managed to end that without a preposition-that's why it reads so awkward, IMO)

So I found it refreshing to feel as if I was almost close to understanding-

I especially liked this part-energy can become matter, as in the train approaching the speed-of-light scenario, the train gets heavier and appears to slow down.

And, most importantly, matter becomes energy.

We really are all stardust, and i find that one of the most comforting thoughts ever to reach my brain.
