very good
Well that was pretty sad
What prevents new stars from being born and replacing the dying ones? I'm guessing increased entropy prevents nebulae from forming, resulting in the birth of no new stars?

Where did you get this idea that new stars aren't born?
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Ah. Well it's just running out of hydrogen. There's only so much of it to go around.

Goddamn Clausius. Ruining everything
I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.
great documentary, all of it known stuff though but nice visuals and such.
What always bothered me though is, given that increasing entropy is inevitable in a closed system, how was it possible for so many galaxies / stars / solar systems to be constructed in the first place?

yeah but, still? the concept should be applicable from the moment the universe was createdSpark wrote:

Ye! Pretty awesome subjects tbh.Kmar wrote:
Have you guys watched The Universe series?
Was pretty good, all about how the elements that make us were created and where they came from. With a "cool guys don't turn around for explosions" moment.Kmar wrote:

Yea I just watched it. Slightly better than the first. I just wish that Cox would scale back the attempts to touch us emotionally.
And again, the fashion photography filter really needs to come off. Other than that, pretty solid stuff.

I really enjoyed episode three, best one of the series so far. Gutted that episode four is the last one.
Kmar, if you're enjoying this series you should get a hold of Wonders of the Solar System.

The part regarding neutron stars was mind-boggling.

I have already. Cox's style is similar to Sagan's in that it is like he is sitting down having a conversation with you. It's a very personal atmosphere, and his genuine passion for the topic is clearly evident. It's reminiscent of the series The Cosmos.Switch wrote:

His ability to illustrate the science of what, how, and when to a bunch of non-scientist is also great benefit to the series.
Another scientist who does that.. informally.

I can definitely see similarities between Carl Sagan and Cox. I've never seen The Cosmos, but I might have a look.
