I thought it would be fun to start the year addressing some questions that many people have about the universe. Mind you, some of these are far from simple, true to what Milan Kundera once wrote, “the only truly serious questions are the ones that even a child can formulate.”

Will also give a plus one to the latest in the collaborations between NOVA and Brian Greene - The Fabric of the Cosmos. Between this and Carl Sagan’s Cosmos on Netflix, there’s plenty for us computerchair cosmologists to enjoy until Neil De Grasse Tyson hits the FOX airwaves sometime after in 2013 (that’s assuming there’s still a post-apocalypse system in place for broadcasting).
