Test Subject Posted March 6, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2009 This was an absolutely fascinating program. The imagery was incredible and everything was presented in an organized manner that was easy to follow (despite the pesky commercial breaks). One thing that stood out to me was the way they presented everything as fact. Never did they say "it is believed that..." or "studies indicate..." they presented this show as conclusions not theories. Anyone familiar with the main source of their conclusions? The Spitzer Space Telescope? Any insight to that question would be much appreciated as would any other comments on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Danger Posted March 6, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) could be the hubble deep field. the majority of things said when it comes to astronomy is theories. astronomers cannot possibly prove everything they say. we just accept these things as fact until we find something that makes even more sence or something with a bit more proof. i prefer watching "the universe" on the history channel Edited March 6, 2009 by dr alien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the stuff on the History Channel is a bit old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you liked that, there may be a bbc documentary called 'whats the time' that you might quite like... Not sure where you'd get hold of it but it might appear on bbc iplayer again. It was presented by Dr Brian Cox and was trying to quantify what we see as time, very interesting... lots of huge eons and vast amounts of space that were discussed.

War Eagle Posted March 9, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Anyone familiar with the main source of their conclusions? The Spitzer Space Telescope? Posted an article on that way back in the UFO forum. Think they use it to map out ours and other galaxies, from a bird's eye view so to speak. Don't know how accurate it is tho(?)
