Whilst I appreciate his beautiful comments on the age of the particles of the body known as me; I would point out I'm currently having a heck of a job trying to re-arrange them with the help of a Wii fit machine. Might time be of help in this matter? Of course if I wait long enough it won't be a problem at all will it! Pass me one of Brian's crisps would you, Dear? Dear Giagia

They had a hard time grasping the "universe came from nothing" idea. Then they asked what the point of the LHC was, which I was prepared for. I gave the exmaple of how the British government was asking the discoverer of the electron the purpose of their funding, and he answered that all he knows is that the government will tax it in 20 years.

No cross over whatsoever... :) James, nope Brian’s programme won’t cover a single bit of similar ground as Michio Kaku’s Time programmes. No cross over whatsoever… :)

I thought he maintained his composure fairly well until the spiders were mentioned. Hi Gia

Totally fantastic clip of Brian. I thought he maintained his composure fairly well until the spiders were mentioned.

I guess time is as big a topic as say culture, but isn't Brian inevetably going to cover much of the same ground? Why not just run 'Time' again on BBC2 (partly so it receives a wider audience, partly because I can't get BBC4 anymore) and choose a different topic all together? It'll be interesting to compare the two I guess. PS-did Brian contribute to 'Time'? I can't quite remember. *scratches head* What was wrong with Michio Kaku’s ‘Time’, shown recently on BBC4?
