Test Tube Universe: Holy Shit

What the hell is this thing made out of?
A universe in a test tube? I don’t know if scientists watch a lot of PBS, but this sounds a whole lot like two of my favorite Nova specials of the last few years - The Elegant Universe and Absolute Zero. Both fantastic. It’s as if a group of scientists, stumped in thier quest for a Theory of Everything, decided to just combine both specials. And now we have this, something straight out of HG Wells. Not bad, science… not bad.
